i see your point
they probably mix up those statistics by listing a full day when the person is admitted in the time zone day
they probably used that on top of calculating the days together on a monthly tally where 2 visits may be inside a time line.
i have personally met several people who have been in hospital for over a week
2 of which were critical life support
1 who is a regular who usually does about 3 days in hospital every visit so might spend more than a week in hospital inside 1 calendar month etc
usa health system is all about extracting cash from people so its big data is pretty useless
the big data collection is always filtered for profit by the collecting entity
so the scope of relative scientific information is stripped of its pure medical data by deliberate omission or by deliberate marginalization.
As far as I can tell, that study had nothing to do with the U.S. It simply says that if you have diabetes you are at a higher risk from Covid-19. However, you could say that about just about anything.
