    Are we going to have to change our definition of "asymptomatic" COVID to distinguish between self-reported "feels fine" and actually no symptoms? About half of the "asymptomatic" cases on the Princess Diamond show ground-glass abnormalities in lung scans. https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ryct.2020200110 …pic.twitter.com/uYVnCUZ4A6

        Also, as a scuba diver myself, this is both fascinating and terrifying. An ER doc in Germany, who is a diver himself and in the middle of a hot spot, finds that young/healthy COVID recovered divers.. cannot be cleared to dive. They feel healthy but aren't. https://www.wetnotes.eu/tauchen-nach-covid-19-erkrankung/ …pic.twitter.com/e6SZKZPXP0

        Notice the similarity between what the ER doctor in Germany is saying in the above link with what @airwaycam recently wrote in the NYT. The patients don't feel the distress but they are, in reality, suffering gravely from lack of oxygen. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/opinion/coronavirus-testing-pneumonia.html …pic.twitter.com/bIqsvqW9Ba

        Well, perhaps someone can finalize the terminology! What I mean is that asymptomatic and "is okay" are far from identical for this disease.https://twitter.com/flavagoodtime/status/1253440246114639874 …

        It may seem pedantic but a symptom is reported by the person and a sign is something measured, e.g. scan results. Not that your point is invalid but asymptomatic is still accurate.

        It's possible a lot of the early clinical advice will change. This is really hard, a novel virus, complicated clinical picture, so many unknowns. Need patient follow-up protocols in place ASAP, too. Bet so many long-term issues possible. https://twitter.com/BrentAWilliams2/status/1253439187812069376 …

        Does the report give an age range? Ie, are these people that would potentially already have lung issues, or not? Cuz if not, that's realllly concerning

        Silent hypoxia also seems to be an unnoticed symptom in many cases. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/opinion/coronavirus-testing-pneumonia.html …

        This also provides an important diagnostic tool where there aren't enough tests. People who aren't sick enough to get a #covid19 test could get an X-ray — something widely available and easy to do.

        Such an evolving thing! I'm not that kind of doc (PhD, no MD!) but I've been reading the clinical literature because it's all so fascinating. Got a pulse ox and told family/friends to get one last month. Not blaming the advice; it really is fast-changing but something was up.
