Have a lot of errors been made in diagnosing COVID-19?

Yes, there have been a lot of errors in diagnosing COVID-19. Misdiagnosis has been an ongoing challenge in part due to its similarities to other diseases, such as the flu, as well as a lack of accurate testing methods. For example, some states in the U.S. are still reporting that over 50% of confirmed COVID-19 cases were incorrectly diagnosed with another illness. Additionally, some individuals with COVID-19 have developed severe complications due to misdiagnosis, which could have potentially been prevented with earlier detection and treatment.
