CHICAGO - A Chicago husband and wife who late last month became the first person-to-person coronavirus patients in the United States have been released from a suburban hospital, health officials said Friday.

In a statement, Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates said that they were “discharged to their home under the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Illinois Department of Public Health.” The hospital said the two, both in their 60s, are now in “home isolation.” The hospital did not say when the two were discharged from the hospital.

The couple, who have not been identified, said in a statement released by the hospital that they are pleased with the care they have received.

“This has been the best healthcare experience we’ve ever had, but we’re definitely looking forward to getting home and getting life back to normal.”

Hot Toddy Man recovered. I still wonder if he was just trying to get publicity.

China propaganda released a video of their first recovered patient which had me laughing out loud at the ridiculousness seen on it.

The title made me think they simply decided to walk out. Guess not.

Germany is over 10 at/around that auto manufacturer.

Surely some are native germans, no?

Plenty of articles say they are recovering and that’s why they were released from hospital care

I suppose home confinement to guard against relapse

I would assume so...BUT ..looking for concrete info. His coworker was Asian..so could he be as well..or some other ethnic genetic similarity...like Indian

It’s hard to get verifiable ethnicity information.

There has been very little information released on the medical care this couple received. It is not clear that they ever had serious symptoms, like the pneumonia that seems to be ravaging victims in Wuhan. There have been a few stories involving mild cases with quick recovery after flu like symptoms. It sounds like these folks might be in that group.

Nobody really recovers, that’s just it, you don’t really hear about recovery’s

It does seem odd that there is little talk of recoveries, but patients are recovering. 1,764 have recovered according to Johns Hopkins tracker.

Some say they shouted to pay tribute to Li Wenliang, who first exposed #CoronaVirus Outbreak, and who died yesterday. What they shouted though, is "Wuhan, Add oil", meaning keep fighting, pump up, or cheer up

Heard the other day all that can be done is to support the organs but the patient must recover on their own.

Many of the surviving coronavirus patients sustain permanent organ damage.

Pneumonia patients who need to be put on ventilators (many coronavirus patients) are given a drug that paralyzes them to keep them from ripping the low oxygen ventilator tube out. ...low oxygen, because that has been found to alleviate some of the congestion that killed many patients before.

Ya, I look at that site daily. There is not a single mention of anyone in the US who has recovered. No any other western society, except for the crazy whiskey man and I don’t believe that one bit.

Now, with China setting up these “death camps” I think Wuhan is a total loss. I’m very surprised there are no serious credible leaks about what is going on there, none !!

I bet they will have a problem getting any takers for a cocktail party anytime soon.
