@DrEricDing @CDCgov Why people still don't get the importance of CT scans when diagnosing suspected cases? RT-PCR tests alone are not reliable enough. So many false negatives..... Check this article for reference: https://t.co/KodFlUVZzK

Can you imagine the cost to patients if we are using chest CTs to diagnose COVID-19?

Exactly. Accurate testing is critical, and I don't know why the US didn't use the tests from the WHO (which work) a month ago. Perhaps it has something to do with eliminating the departments that are supposed to keep an eye on these things.
