[General] I have so many people to thank

[Silverobama]

Hi teachers.

A patient was release from the hospital because he was already cured; he was a novel coronavirus patient. Later he was interviewed by the reporters. He said "I have so many people to thank". Then he said he wanted to thank A, B, doctors, nurses, etc.
I wonder if my translation the sentence is natural.

Yes, but note corrections.

Only released from the hospital works in American English.

Silver, what do you mean by "already cured"?

Silver, what do you mean by "already cured"?

They are healthy now.

What do you mean by 'a novel coronavirus patient'?

They are healthy now.

There was no need for "already". They were cured. They had been cured. They were healthy. They were better.

What do you mean by 'a novel coronavirus patient'?

The name given to the current strain of this virus is "novel coronavirus"; cf malaria patient, TB patient, etc.

There is currently no cure for novel coronavirus disease or Covid-19, the name given by WHO. So you cannot say the patient is cured. Some people recover from it while some do not. The hospitals merely treat the symptoms and facilitate the recovery.

 

[emsr2d2]

Use "the WHO". There is only one World Health Organisation so the definite article should be used before it. This is perhaps clearer if you use the full title.

There is no cure for Covid-19, the name given to the virus by World Health Organisation. :cross:
There is no cure for Covid-19, the name given to the virus by the World Health Organisation. :tick:

As a factual matter, we haven't figured out how to cure diseases caused by viruses. For example, antibiotics do not work against viruses.
