Not quite sure what recovered means. If 5.6 million have recovered out of a total of 10.4 million world wide does that mean the difference (minus death of course) are hospitalized or what?
Still in recovery - so could be either statistic until recovered (or dead)?

I guess it means the rest are still considered to be sick.
There's a lot of vagueness in regards to the terms and statistics being used in reference to the pandemic and aspects thereof.
For that matter, there doesn't seem to be any definite agreement about what qualifies someone as "recovered".
I don't find "recovered" to be meaningful because of that vagueness.

On the Minnesota DHS site, they list people no longer in isolation. I wonder if this is what is meant by recovered?
There is that.Still beats dead though.
Further down the page they show this:
CLOSED CASES
6,651,561
Cases which had an outcome:
6,128,424 (92%)
Recovered / Discharged
523,137 (8%)
Deaths
The whole anti-mask mania is not limited to the US. So it's useful to keep the background and reasons in a wider perspective. This incident happened in France:
Bayonne: Bus driver left brain dead after being 'attacked over face masks'

News just in. The virus might not be "a little flu" after all.
Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro tests positive for coronavirus
"Bolsonaro, 65, has repeatedly trivialized the pandemic and flouted social distancing, even as Brazil became the second-worst-hit country after the United States, with more than 65,000 deaths and 1.6m confirmed cases."
