Recoveries should start going up in the coming days as people move through the system.



The whole thing about the recoveries is a biiiig part of the "flattening the curve" narrative because recoveries aren't happening nearly as fast as are new cases because of the R0 of COVID-19. The confirmed cases will have to slow down first before we start seeing recoveries increasing to a meaningful extent (ie: meaningful enough to free up hospital beds).

They really just have to free up ICU beds. Deaths happen in 12-14 days (I think). The first patient stopped needing supplemental oxygen at day 12, day 8 of his hospital stay. Granted, he was 35. But at that point, he could’ve been transitioned to a more intermediate care bed.
