I don't think anyone is ignoring long COVID and hospital issues. Hospital capacity is discussed front and center daily and is the primary justification given for lockdowns.

Also, please see this recent meta-analysis which found that when you actually add a control group, most "long COVID" symptoms disappear in children. A higher study quality was associated with lower prevalence of almost all symptoms.

How many hospitalizations are due to covid and how many just happen to test positive?

Appears to be very very common (as high as 2/3 'with' covid vs 'for' covid). See: https://twitter.com/MonicaGandhi9/status/1478401273317654528

Surely it can't be a pure binary split of 'for' covid vs 'with' covid.

Having covid presumably worsens outcomes for unrelated causes, in some cases turning a non emergency condition into an emergency condition.
