The CT scan is an “indicator” but not “proof.”

The broken glass thing looks funky as hell though. I hadn’t seen that before.

And cases with no symptoms, negative tests can have the abnormal findings on CT. It is crazy

Yup. As i said before it is expensive, nonspecific and involves radiation. In the absence of a molecular test I would think the right clinical picture and neg flu/rsv testing would give you a presumptive diagnosis. By the way physicians who treat corona virus patients are to keep working as long as they are asymptomatic
