@SixandLaura @_Kodos_ @misapelater Sure, heck remember the first name for the infection, "atypical viral pneumonia". "The most common finding on chest x-rays was peripheral ground glass opacities (GGO) affecting the lower lobes" https://t.co/iohvqnCqE3
@CarolineCoramUK Strange study here re X-rays refer to Covid19 pneumonia & that they only have a 69% accuracy - only as an "aiding tool". But agree last thing you want is more rad https://t.co/VJ4wydlrr6
