New data from the Zoe symptom-tracker app suggests one in two people with new coldlike symptoms will have COVID-19 rather than the common cold.
Tim Spector, an epidemiologist and the study's lead author, said in a press release on Thursday that for most people, getting infected with Omicron would feel "much more like the common cold, starting with a sore throat, runny nose and a headache," rather than fevers, continuous cough, or loss of taste or smell.
To get to the 50% figure, Spector and his team compared the number of new cases of a coldlike illness with the number of new cases of COVID-19 confirmed by a lateral flow or lab test.
According to Spector's findings, people with Omicron who reported symptoms on the Zoe app were less likely to have five or more symptoms than those with Delta.
He has found at least 20 common symptoms that are self-reported by Zoe's 850,000 weekly users. The top five are headache, fatigue, a runny nose, sore throat, and sneezing — similar to the symptoms of the Delta variant.

And if they hadn’t been testing and 24/7 fear propaganda they wouldn’t have known.
Didn’t Omicron just get discovered about 2 weeks ago?
The fraudsters set the bar too high two years ago, flu symptoms. Now, the sniffles equal the black winter for you.
Well then, I guess I got Covid right now,,,, except, the reason why I’m ill is because I went outside without my coat on, twice, and got cold wind blowing on me for my efforts. So I think I brought this upon myself. Wouldn’t you all agree? :-(
It’s a cold. It’s cold and flu season.
It’s just a cold, Jim.
I’ve got a better explanation: “Omicron” is made up to cover vaccine injuries.
Another dime a dozen study......
The common cold has always been the common cold.
I’ve been saying this since February or March of 2020.

If you stumped your toe, there’s a good chance it’s COVID-19. </sarc>
Yep, sounds like something that would cause a lockdown of entire regions.
