In other words everything is Covid 19.

[dfwgator]

What about clammy hands?

[Sans-Culotte]

What about feeling “icky”?

[ClearCase_guy]

Question: Are you feeling 100% this morning?
Answer: Well, maybe not 100% ...

Diagnosis: You have COVID. Most likely the Delta variant, the deadliest of them all!!!!!!!!

[mewzilla]

CoupFlu was NEVER about public health.

[Pollard]

So basically being over 50.

[Dr. Thorne]

So, COVID has the same symptoms as old age?

[Chode]

kinda like EVERYTHING causes gloBULL warming... feh

[Wuli]

It is O.K. to list any known symptom of something as a possible symptom, but true diagnosis have a specific illness has to go beyond mere symptoms, whatever they are, and in the case of a virus or bacteria a specific infectious test is required. So many symptoms are common to so many different things they do not, by themselves, specify/indicate any specific illness.

I do have an 85 year old cousin who did get the Wuhan Virus last fall and his own symptom, and only ill feeling, was three days of diarrhea. A two day stay in the hospital restoring fluids, then home and no other symptoms or illness. His wife (same age) got the bug at the same time and had three days of a bad cold; that was all. Now they have their natural immunity built up.

"Including fatigue, headache, sore throat and diarrhoea"

War time flashbacks, ear mites, snoring, sweaty hugs, projectile burping, hydrophobia, non genital warts, hirsutism, awkward dancing, echolalia, anal leakage, insurrection lasting more than four hours, permanent loss of eyebrows and hyena laughter. Just to name a few...

[COBOL2Java]

Well then I guess I had COVID last year...

[dfwgator]

"I heard that you were feeling ill. Headache, fever, and a chill. I came to help restore your pluck, cause I'm the nurse who likes to..."

[rockabyebaby]

OMG OMG OMG, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE. What about ingrown toe nails? Dry skin? Nose bleeds? Acne? Constipation? SMH at this idiocy. Every little ailment is now chinese virus.

[JimRed]

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.

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

[the OlLine Rebel]

I thought all these were already on the long list.

The only thing not on it is itchy rash.

[liberalh8ter]

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

[Freee-dame]

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.

[Pollster1]

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

[HotHunt]

"....By extending the symptom list, we think we’ll pick up about a third more cases....Calling the idea “mission creep....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...."

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.
