Michigan’s definition of coronavirus ‘recovery’ looser than other states | Bridge Michigan

preview

Share This: Share This: who have “recovered” from COVID-19 as of May 8.Bridge Magazine, the Detroit Free Press and Michigan Radio are teaming up to report on Michigan hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic. We will be sharing accounts of the challenges doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel face as they work to treat patients and save lives.&nbsp;If you work in a Michigan hospital, we would love to hear from you. You can contact Robin Erb&nbsp;at Bridge, Kristen Jordan Shamus&nbsp;&nbsp;at the Free Press and&nbsp;Kate Wells&nbsp;&nbsp;at Michigan Radio.The definition is a jarring oversimplification of a virus identified just six months ago in China and may leave survivors with damage that’s complicated and still not fully understood. It also underscores the shortcomings in data collection used to paint a picture of Michigan in its battle against the deadly coronavirus that first appeared in March 10.&nbsp;The state’s reporting infrastructure is designed to capture the onset and spread of disease; it isn’t set up to capture recovery data, Sutfin said.“We realize there are some in [the data] who aren’t at the same level of health as they were, but we don’t feel that they will change the overall numbers much,” she said.Sutfin noted that there is no universally accepted definition of “recovered” from coronavirus yet.&nbsp;The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers guidelines on when to home isolation and or when health care workers are safe to after an infection. It is still working on an estimate of “recovered” Americans, and will include it and definition of “recovered” on its website soon, according to a CDC in an email to Bridge Magazine.That leaves Michigan and other states to interpret “recovered.”Ohio, for example, doesn’t try. With partial data, the picture would be misleading, said Melanie Amato, press secretary​ for the Ohio Department of Health.&nbsp;There’s no national standard, she said, and insufficient testing means not everyone sickened would be reflected in the data. Though some local health departments are tracking their own recovered cases, the data would be too flawed at a state level.“It wouldn’t be an accurate description,” of what happened, she said.Wisconsin tracks “recovered” with a three-point definition: 30 days from onset of symptoms or diagnoses, documentation that symptoms have resolved, and documentation that patients have been released from public health isolation.
