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.

"… but man, proud man!

Dress'd in a little brief authority,—

Most ignorant of what he's most assured,

His glassy essence,—like 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!
