Since all available tests for detecting the virus causing COVID-19 are unreliable, what about the symptoms?

How does the doctor know if the patient has COVID-19?

WHO, CDC and similar agencies listed quite a variety of symptoms which may mean COVID-19 but are they unique only for COVID-19?

What is strange is that online search of all symptoms shows first COVID-19 despite that many other diseases have the same symptoms (check the table below). One of the biggest lies is that loss of taste or smell is 100% specific for COVID-19.There are many common diseases with the same symptoms, some as dangerous as hypertension or diabetes. Chest pain or pressure, which is pointed as a symptom can be due to life threatening coronary artery disease. Same with loss of speech or movement now associated with COVID-19 but it in fact having a strong association with stroke. 

Making all symptoms COVID-19 symptoms is leading to misdiagnosing of many diseases. Many hospitals request COVID-19 test before admission.   The fact that a positive test makes the person immediately COVID-19 case means that the person may not receive the treatment for the disease which is needed. In case of death, it is counted as COVID-19 death.

Unreliable tests->mistreatment->death->increase of cases/deaths creates a fake pandemic.

Keep in mind that the severe cases which need hospitalisation are never due the viral infection. It just opens the door for the bacterial infections; none of the widely advertised disease manifestations are COVID-19 specific. 

The questions which must be answered by the World Health Organization and other health authorities are 

1) How do we know that someone has COVID-19 in case there aren’t disease specific symptoms nor reliable tests? 

2) Where is the proof of COVID-19 pandemic?
