Omicron symptoms could seem like a cold — but don't underestimate this variant, experts warn
CNBC ^ | 12/16/2021 | Cnbc

Symptoms associated with the Covid omicron variant could be similar to those that normally accompany a cold. Experts are warning that the strain could be easily mistaken for a mild, everyday illness. The Zoe Covid Study analyses thousands of Covid symptoms uploaded to an app by the British public.

This initial analysis found similarities between the delta and the omicron variants, suggesting the latter hasn't mutated back into the more flu-like symptoms of previous Covid strains. The team said that the top five symptoms reported in the Zoe app in those two different weeks were:

Runny nose Headache Fatigue (either mild or severe) Sneezing Sore throat

London was selected for the Zoe analysis due to the higher prevalence of omicron compared with other regions. The omicron variant is already the dominant strain in the capital and will soon account for nearly all infections in London and the wider U.K.

It’s a cold, but you have to be super afraid because it’s the OMICRON cold.

Even though its really really mild, its also really really scary.

Omicron must really be playing havoc with their stats.

It has the symptoms of a normal cold, so, don't expect lung issues or loss of smell or death.

It's more transmissible. Okay.

It sounds exactly like the form of Sars-Cov-2 we've all been waiting for. The one that is harmless and provides free protection to COVID-19.

"Runny nose Headache Fatigue (either mild or severe) Sneezing Sore throat..."

Who doesn't experience these symptoms at least once a year?

It's no coincidence that this "Omichron" nonsense cropped up right in time for the holidays. It's all part of the conditioning.

You are correct

The variants have been there since the beginning but are being advanced to prolong the panic

They won’t. Biden still needs to mail out another Billion unrequested mail-in absentee ballots to P.O.Boxes and vacant lots. He needs a national quarantine for that. It’s up to FauXi, NIH, CDC and MSM to keep the scam alive.

Well I for one have never had a sneezing sore throat. I can see some discomfort with that.

“….experts warn”

Lol! The same experts that said 2 weeks to flatten the curve? The DEADLY COVID that’s 99% survivable? I won’t be taking any of their recommendations to heart - ever again
