A third of coronavirus patients admitted to NHS hospitals die from the disease and more than half of those on ventilators do not survive, according to a major study.Researchers
analysing almost 17,000 COVID-19 hospitalisations in the UK found 33
per cent died, 49 per cent were discharged and 17 per cent are still
receiving care. The study, the biggest of its kind in Europe, found just a fifth of intubated UK patients made it home alive. Fifty-three per cent have died while on a ventilator and 27 per cent are still hooked up to the machines at the time of writing. Of
those in ICU, 45 per cent succumbed to the virus, 31 per cent went home
after beating the illness and just under a quarter are still being
treated."
