Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 3530326, member: 1737"] This is from a story in the Hartford Courant dated April 25, 2020: Connecticut hospitals have discharged more than 3,000 coronavirus patients during the current outbreak, Gov. Ned Lamont said Friday, indicating that nearly half of all seriously ill residents have already recovered from the virus. The state has not shared exactly how many COVID-19 patients have been hospitalized during the outbreak, making it difficult to say for certain what percentage have been discharged. However, adding discharges, active hospitalizations and deaths offers an approximation of the number of serious cases. Of the 7,013 patients who fall into one of those three categories, 3,372 (48%) have been discharged, 1,877 (27%) remain hospitalized and 1,764 (25%) have died. Though COVID-19 has been extremely deadly in Connecticut, the discharge figures offer a reminder that even hospitalized patients have a strong chance of recovery. [/QUOTE]
