Omicron symptoms: Is a runny nose a cold or Covid?
BBC News ^ | December 18, 2021 | By Michelle Roberts

Posted on 12/18/2021 5:03:53 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The new Omicron variant of coronavirus is spreading rapidly in the UK. So what are the symptoms people should act on?

So far, the top five symptoms are:

* runny nose

* headache

* fatigue (either mild or severe)

* sneezing

* sore throat

If you think you may have Covid, it is important to get tested.

The NHS says people should still look out for classic Covid symptoms:

* a new, continuous cough

* a fever/high temperature

* loss of or change to smell or taste

> “Omicron symptoms: Is a runny nose a cold or Covid?”

If the question must be asked, the deception is winning.

Delta is the flu. Omicron is a cold.

A rough cold went through my household the last week and a half.

Dry cough turning to productive cough, fever, fatigue.

Guess what we did? We didn’t go running for a covid test. We stayed home, took vitamins and OTC meds, drank water, and got better.

Could have been omicron. We’ll never know. Because it was a cold.

Continue to do the opposite of whatever that mass murderer Dr. Woof Fauchi says and you will be fine.

Oh boy, the BBC spreads disinformation again. As usual.
I've been getting most of those “symptoms” every December for over 50 years. And I am still alive and healthy.

I remember when you still had to come to work with those symptoms.

If you sneeze, cough or have a runny nose please self isolate immediately. Remember, it’s for the children. 😂

"top five symptoms are:

Just like any common head cold....

I’d like to know exactly HOW all these places reporting such quick and drastic increases in infections are determining that it’s the Omicron?

Wondering... If we catch this milder COVID, are we then immune to the other variants?
