Right lung opacificiation is a stronger predictor for critical care admission and death. We extracted data from our EHR to build a risk score that predicted critical care admission or death. The extent of CXR abnormality was scored using an adapted radiographic assessment of lung oedema for COVID-19, as proposed by Wong et al (4) . In addition, opacification of the right lung was a stronger predictor of admission to critical care or die (see figure) .
