To: null and void

ground glass appearance on a CT is very no specific. I have see. many chest CTs done for no infectious reasons come back with an incidental finding of ground glass infiltrates is a normal non sick individual. It just means there are some hazy areas on the scan and basically means nothing. It is not diagnostic of infection let alone a specific infection.

So as a doctor, if a patent presented with ground glass lung, you'd call it a day and not do any other tests?

That's what the doctors who want to live are doing in Hubei.

“if a single new case is found” after Wednesday “the district leaders will be held responsible.”
