Headache? Runny nose? These are among the new top 5 Covid symptoms, study says
cnbc ^ | 07/08/2021 | Holly Ellyatt

When the coronavirus pandemic first emerged in early 2020, governments quickly put out information on what symptoms to look out for, little knowing then that much of the transmission was asymptomatic.

The public was told to look out for a high temperature and a new continuous cough, with a loss of taste or smell, fatigue and a sore throat also named as possible symptoms (some added at different points of the pandemic).

Fast forward to the present day and more symptoms are being reported and recognized. The variation in symptoms has happened over time as several variants of the virus — such as the alpha strain and now the highly transmissible delta variant — have gone on to replace the “original” strain of Covid-19 first discovered in China in late 2019.

Symptoms if you’re unvaccinated?

If you’ve not yet been vaccinated then the symptoms are more recognizable to the traditional ranking, Zoe said, “however we can still observe some changes from when Covid-19 first appeared over a year ago.”

Headache

Sore throat

Runny nose

Fever

Persistent cough

“Loss of smell comes in at number 9 and shortness of breath comes far down the list at number 30, indicating the symptoms as recorded previously are changing with the evolving variants of the virus,” the study found.

Covid cases attributed to the much more contagious delta variant are surging in parts of Europe, the U.K. and the U.S., particularly among young people and the partially vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Paraphrasing George Carlin:

Saliva causes Covid, but only if swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

Classic leftists—change the rules when you don’t like the way the game is going...

Gotta scare folks who have not yet taken the vaccine—and get everyone paranoid about the person next to them sniffling.

loss of breath comes far down the list at number 30,

Kind of says it all about this ‘Delta’ variant.
