How do I know if I have a cold, the flu or COVID-19?

Experts say testing is the best way to determine what you have since symptoms of the illnesses can overlap.

The viruses that cause colds, the flu and COVID-19 are spread the same way — through droplets from the nose and mouth of infected people. And they can all be spread before a person realizes they’re infected.

How to tell if it's flu or COVID:

1. Run to the nearest clinic, medical complex, or hospital. Drive as fast as you can. 2. Make an appointment for a test. Make sure to raise your mask whenever you cough or sneeze. 3. Wait for hours in line with a bunch of suckers who are also sick. 4. Get a test. 5. Hang around the clinic for a while using up tons of Kleenex. 6. Go home and infect others.

Typical medical article from a newspaper: big question, little if any answer, e.g., “it all depends”...

Just keep warm, drink plenty of fluids, make some chicken soup and get rest. What difference does it make what they call it?

This has to be the biggest BS statement of the day: “symptoms of the illnesses can overlap” In other words, EVERYTHING is Covid. Funny how headache, runny nose, sore throat, cough was a COLD 3 years ago and today the same symptoms are Covid. Mass psychosis? Nah, just simple dumb-fukery.

Apparently the "experts" did not get the memo that the test kits are in very short supply.

In other words, just say it's Covid no matter what.

“1. Run to the nearest clinic, medical complex, or hospital. Drive as fast as you can. 2. Make an appointment for a test. ...”

I don’t understand the panic to get a test. Big deal. If you’re sick, you’re sick. If it gets bad see a doctor, if not, thank God for giving you an amazing immune system.

Live life.

If you get it you will know as my wife, family and friends have had it. What to do? Nothing as it will eventually pass and doctors etc have nothing to help you get over it.

Again if you have it you will know you have it.

“How can I tell if I have a cold, the flu or COVID?”

Unless you have some serious co-morbidity condition, why even fret over it?

Actually, I found soup made from the Christmas ham bone works very well and tastes even better than chicken/turkey soup. In fact, I’m just heading to work (currently -24°C, -11°F), and I’ve got a thermos full of piping hot ham bone soup. I look forward to supper! (With my job, I am outside quite a bit and hot, savory soup hits the spot.) Unfortunately, this is the last of the soup.

Offer such a soup to your mohamedan neighbours. THAT’LL convert ‘em from their hellish faith!
