Talking with real doctors, POCUS as its called, definitely helps but a lot depends on the skill of the operator as Covid-19 disease is complicated and has multiple presentations. You can a sense of that in this video:

The fundamentals of POCUS are good though. At my wife's hospital, disinfecting the CT suite after a Covid-19 patient is a real barrier to using it. POCUS doesn't have that problem. I think what needs to be done for POCUS is to make the diagnostic capability easier for non-radiology medical providers to use i.e. make the view more like a CT or MRI scan and less like looking through a straw. That's something the HN folks can very much help with.
