Ran across this, while doing some reading on longer term effects of Covid.

38 Michigan hospitals contributed data on their patients hospitalized with Covid during March - July.

Criminey, you did NOT want to be hospitalized with Covid in Michigan this spring.

I’m still digesting the LT effects - haven’t gotten past the mortality. I really hope this has gotten a lot better.

“Findings: Of 1648 patients with COVID-19 admitted to 38 hospitals, 398 (24.2%) died during hospitalization and 1250 (75.8%) survived. Of 1250 patients discharged alive, 975 (78.0%) went home whereas 158 (12.6%) were discharged to a skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility (Table 1). By 60 days after discharge, an additional 84 patients (6.7% of hospital survivors and 10.4% of intensive care unit [ICU]-treated hospital survivors) had died, bringing the overall mortality rate for the cohort to 29.2%, and 63.5% for the 405 patients who received treatment in an ICU. Within 60 days of discharge, 189 patients (15.1% of hospital survivors) were rehospitalized.”
