Government Adviser Says Fatigue, Headache, Sore Throat and Diarrhoea Should be Added to List of COVID Symptoms
Infowars ^ | 07/01/21 | Paul Joseph Watson

A SAGE government adviser has said that fatigue, headache, sore throat and diarrhoea should be added to the list of COVID symptoms, prompting concerns that this will artificially inflate case numbers.

The London Times reports: “Including fatigue, headache, sore throat and diarrhoea on the official list of Covid symptoms would pick up a third more cases of the virus, Calum Semple, a member of the Scientific advisory group for emergencies (Sage), said.”

 

“As older people are vaccinated, proportionally more younger people are having the disease and they have a different group of symptoms,” Semple asserted, adding, “By extending the symptom list, we think we’ll pick up about a third more cases.”

By including symptoms that are common for other illnesses such as flu, if a third more cases are suddenly ‘discovered, SAGE can then attempt to fan the flames of hysteria by claiming the country is experiencing another “wave” of COVID infections.

Calling the idea “mission creep,” commentator Maajid Nawaz suggested that adding more symptoms to the list is an excuse to artificially boost case numbers, which will then be used to argue for further lockdowns in the winter.

Nawaz posted a Twitter thread in which he explained how including new symptoms would be “misleadingly unhelpful” and that COVID numbers are already being inflated because three times more people are being tested compared to December.

“We are NOT finding more covid positives. All we are doing is testing far more people (3x more people) to get the equivalent result,” wrote Nawaz, pointing out that hospitalization numbers remain low.

Some experts have previously warned that flu cases were already being falsely counted as COVID cases in order to boost figures, with epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski cautioning that, “Influenza has been renamed COVID-19 in large part.”

There should be no case number until a test reads positive.

Now they have their natural immunity built up.

But according to the fearmongers the Delta variant can still get you! And China is feverishly working on the next round, a "new" Bird Flu, so the mail-in ballot fraud can be repeated in '24.

I thought all these were already on the long list.

The only thing not on it is itchy rash.

And the PCR test will be adjusted accordingly to coincide with the desired result.

Everything is Covid, but only if you have not had the “vaccination” If you have had the vaccine then you do not count as a case of Covid unless the PCR test shows a positive by 28 cycles AND you are either hospitalized or die. Certainly sounds like a political disease to me.

COVID is like Global Warming - it causes everything bad, and anything we don’t like is evidence of COVID.

If they keep this up, all you'll have to do is wake up in the morning not feeling well and bingo! You have the covid.

Anybody else see where they're going with this?

My predction is that the democRATS want to expand the virus pandemic and use it like climate change to scare everybody that the end of the planet is imminent and they need all of your money now to stop earth's temperature from rising one degree one hundred years from today.

Trust me. The democRATS will not let this crisis go to waste. They don't want the pandemic to end anytime in the foreseeable future. Bank on it.

What about clammy hands?

For sure.

Also sweaty feet, perspiration in general, irritability, blahs, euphoria, melancholy, lethargy, stress, feeling sleepy, alert, nervous, numb, giddy, happy, anxious.

“In other words everything is Covid 19.”

I guess just plain breathing is included in all this GARBAGE that is put out by the CDC and WHO. I don’t believe any of them.

I think I’ll wait until “unexplained weight loss” hits the headlines.
