By seeing what type of damage is being done to the lungs through CT scan or X-Ray, according to this article on a similar topic from two weeks ago: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200407/doctors-puzzle-over...

More and more it's starting to look to me like we have two different novel viruses going around.



Two viruses may be possible, but other diseases certainly can have similar ranges of problems: The Flu might case different type of lung problems-- pneumonia, bronchitis, exacerbate asthma. Or it might hit your stomach, or result in ear infections by allowing other opportunistic infections to fester, or seizures. It may cause pericarditis or other heart problems, or strokes. So it is not unreasonable to assume that Covid-19 might cause the same symptoms through 2 different mechanisms.
