Doctor who treated first US case of coronavirus says patients with mild symptoms can recover at home

Dr. George Diaz, the section chief for infectious diseases at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Wash., told “America’s News HQ” on Sunday that most patients infected with the coronavirus can recover at home and do not need to be hospitalized.

“Most folks that are infected with this virus will have a mild disease — won’t need to come to the hospital, won’t have to be admitted,” Diaz said

I sure hope he’s right, I have to keep reminding myself that we are seeing the most severe cases being tested first
