That could be fascinating. My PharmD nephew mentioned the CT findings in March 2020. I've heard almost nothing except PCR, and slight mention of antigens and antibodies, in the lamestream press. By "other infections" do you mean coronaviruses generally, or SARS/covid specifically? I noticed no bronchial inflammation from Omicron.
Well maybe they should be, but most seem to rely on the PCR "test" and maybe some antibody test. I doubt many patients have had a chest CT.
My point was that the true rate of infection is unknown because many doctors themselves haven't a clue as to how to diagnose it. Utterly ineffable incompetance or insouciance or worse.
"Caveat emptor" applies in spades when dealing with the commercial-medical complex.
Having lived in a neighborhood full of health care "professionals" who worked at a nearby "renowned" medical center opened my eyes to another side of reality. The general lack of integrity and humility was shocking with vanishingly few exceptions.
Covid diagnoses are based on chest CT showing bronchial inflammation. (NB: Not generally advised because it causes high radiation exposure.)
There are also fairly distinct laboratory values you don't see in other infections.

"тАж but man, proud man!
Dress'd in a little brief authority,тАФ
Most ignorant of what he's most assured,
His glassy essence,тАФlike an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal."
MEASURE FOR MEASURE Act2, Scene 2.

Even with his erroneous idea regarding the spleen, I think Shakespeare would've made a better physician than a lot of what we're burdened with today!
