Wednesday I developed some of the worst GI problems I've ever had.

The symptoms were as they describe for e coli.

The VA insisted I get tested, so I got swabbed today.

The article says that's "Category 3", if I have the "rona".

“The resulting algorithm”?????

Stop, right there.

This is not about Medical Science but about Computer “science”.

There my be different strains of the virus. But computer analysis is not a substitute for medical understanding.

This is still more Insanity added to an already Insane landscape.

I read that 40% of Covid patients have GI problems as their only symptoms. I hope you recover quickly, whatever you have!

A lot of the research on treatments for the China virus may have to be redone. For instance, if HCQ were used on patients infected with the most severe strain, the results would not look favourable against a ‘control’ group consisting of those infected with the least-severe strain.

Also, if the least-severe strain is spreading faster than the most-severe strain (a reasonable assumption, since the less-severe strains don’t kill their hosts, and have a greater chance of spreading), that could explain much of the declining fatality rates.

Hope things go well for you.

This article and its headline are poorly written. They’re really talking about six different symptom matrixes and not six different virus strains.

HCQ/zinc/azithromycin ASAP. Waiting makes it ineffective. If the test comes back negative, no harm.

Just before Christmas I had the worst gadtro I have vcv ever had. Ig was like being on Guadalcanal with dysentry. Urgent care doc said viral gastroenteritis and said go BRAT. Didn’t stop till three days later when everything stopped. Nothing, not matter, not gas, nothing. ER thought blockage but CT showed nothing except zero peristalisis. Three days on IV nothing by mouth and I was fair but no relief grom gastro which kicked up again. Took two weeks to get back to normal. My doc says she thinks it was COVID.

I had 3 + 4
I was so sick that I was hallucinating.
Stay hydrated.
The good news is that of the most critical, only 3% need additional oxygen.
Will pray for wisdom for your physicians.

What was worse? The e coli symptoms or the deep swab?

Different strokes for different folks as far as how their bodies react to colds/Flu/Corona/Covid.
Looks like they defined sets of symptoms and assigned a “strain” to them...but i ain’t a researcher so what am I doing commenting here?

They’re laying the groundwork for when they are caught saying the common cold causes a positive COVID-19 test. They already know they can’t tell the viruses apart. Anyone who says they can is lying.

"Scientists identify six different types of coronavirus with increasing severity levels"

Why did they choose to put the word "increasing" in the clickbait title?

Simple. To say "decreasing" or "varying" would be just as accurate but wouldn't create enough panic.

If that’s the only symptom, it’s probably not COVID-19. Whatever it is, I hope you get well quickly.
