These Are the Symptoms of the Omicron Variant, South African Doctor Says
Best Life Online ^ | 11/27/21 | Richard Evans

**SNIP**

Angelique Coetzee, a doctor with a private practice in Pretoria and chair of the South African Medical Association (SAMA), told The Telegraph that so far Omicron cases seem to present with strange but mild symptoms. "Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before," she said.

Most of the Omicron patients Coetzee has treated arrived "feeling so tired," making intense fatigue the most consistent symptom that's been reported. On the other hand, none of these patients suffered from loss of taste or smell, which has been one of the tell-tale COVID symptoms up to this point.

In terms of other surprising symptoms, Coetzee told The Telegraph, "We had one very interesting case, a kid, about six-years-old, with a temperature and a very high pulse rate, and I wondered if I should admit her, but when I followed up two days later she was so much better."

Coetzee has stressed that it's too early to make any larger predictions about what an Omicron wave would mean for the world - and if we'll even reach that point. In an interview with The Guardian, she reiterated that the cases she's seen have been mild, but acknowledged that it's too soon to know for sure if that will hold for a broader spectrum of Omicron infections.

"It's all speculation at this stage. It may be it's highly transmissible, but so far the cases we are seeing are extremely mild," Coetzee said. "Maybe two weeks from now I will have a different opinion, but this is what we are seeing. So are we seriously worried? No. We are concerned and we watch what's happening. But for now we're saying, 'OK, there's a whole hype out there. [We're] not sure why.'"

“so different and so mild”

Sounds like a cigarette commercial…

Is one of the symptoms- you’ve been vaccinated?

The major symptom of any of the “variants” is when you feel COVID slipping from the news cycle. When that happens, you know the new “variant” is on its way right quick.

The endless Kung Flu crap also causes a severe pain in the posterior, which might be helpful in diagnosis.

For some strange reason the aholes don’t want to use Ivermectin.

I don’t know what variant I’m husband and I had this past summer, but we both had extreme fatigue that lasted for weeks. Never lost our senses of taste and smell either.

—> Interesting. I had Covid mid September. No fever. No loss of taste or smell. Loss of appetite. But very fatigued. I basically slept it off over a week, sleeping about 18 hours a day.
Maybe I am patient #1!

Or you has mono 😂

It sounds like “mini mono”.

Can you imagine the horror of being tired for two or three days? {shudder}

I think we are at the point where we have to say f*** it and just let life return to normal and we will deal with COVID and its variants as they occur. No more masking, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, travel bans. The virus has to run its course and burn itself out.

And to hell with the CCP!

Apparently, a few days of rest and liquids works very well for all ages if they get this latest crud.

How do we know what anyone has after the Delta B$?

I would be willing to bet some of these bugs have been around for years but they are just now being studied. Who among us hasn’t heard their doctor say “It’s just a virus. Call me if you aren’t better in 10 days.” Nobody bothered to investigate the actual virus.
Now they have discovered they can control some us us by scaring us with “new variants that may be deadly”.
They can keep that going for years.

BOL, not at you, but at myself just shutting off.

My Mother had the ability to zone out when certain stories/lore were repeated, maybe too much.

My wife, siblings, heirs and friends have recently noticed that I have that same DNA/inheritance from my mother. At least I haven’t gone to sleep during some of their reruns.
