People get discharged to peripheral hospitals or nursing homes or home, usually to convalesce. Acute hospitals don't have the resources to look after people until they are 'better'. Patients don't really get documented as 'healed' from an acute inpatient stay, so it's always the main condition treated or investigated that gets documented, that's why there are so many follow-up outpatient clinics. Then home once able to cope.
As I said in one of the first pages of this thread, the closure of so many cottage hospitals is really going to bite us collectively.

Discharge to home, nursing home and so on.
Will it be recorded as those who diagnosed covid, then discharged as "better"? Unsure of testing people really far removed from that world.
