Sore throat, then congestion: Common Covid symptoms follow a pattern now, doctors say

Doctors say they're finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish Covid from allergies or the common cold, even as hospitalizations tick up.

The illness' past hallmarks, such as a dry cough or the loss of sense of taste or smell, have become less common. Instead, doctors are observing milder disease, mostly concentrated in the upper respiratory tract.

So it has now pretty much become the common cold.

They belong in prison or hanging from a tree...

After a proper trial at a Nuremburg 2 tribunal.

I'd substitute 'from a tree', to be 'from a windmill blade'. Then, we can watch as they dangle while spinning around and around.

If you get the new COVID after your boosters, it’s likely to be gone in a week. But if you haven’t had the shots, it can persist for as long as 7 days.

This variant happened to me. During the last week of August, I caught what I thought was just another cold. But I felt so bad that I went to my doctor’s office, and when the nurses found my heart was racing out of control, they immediately called an ambulance. Thus, I spent the next five days in the hospital, and was told at the beginning of my stay that I had COVID. I am 64 years old, and for the first time in my life, I was seriously ill. Now I am on the road to recovery.

I'm pretty sure I have it right now. My kids tested positive after coming home for the weekend.

So far it feels like a cold, and I don't intend to be tested

Who wants to bet these symptoms are exactly like flu symptoms?

We got insurance messages in the snail mail, saying we should get all the various injections to "keep up" with the....

Went the to market with a wee pharmacy in it, seven different inoculations being marketed....

My wife and I have avoided the mRNA stuff, feel fine if getting older, and all the hysteria the first time around was enough to "inoculate" us to the hysteria trying to be ginned up again.

Asymptomatic. No symptoms, No need for a test. But Tedros did say in April 2020 -- seems long ago, eh? -- "test, test, test!"

Without getting tested, how can you know you're not sick? Quite the game.

Everyone I know who has been fully “vaccinated” and “boosted” has had Covid multiple times. They are constantly getting tested or testing themselves. Every sniffle must be investigated. And they still blame the “unvaccinated” who are untested and have no symptoms for their plight.

And we still have a cabal right here on Free Republic who are vax pushers. They are reading this thread and wanting to comment even though they know that they will be ridiculed for buying into the nonsense. But don’t worry if you are one of them... we want to hear from you! Just ignore the comments, lay back in bed take your medications and bask in the knowledge that you and Dr. Fauci are right.

Pssst—that’s how it started, too, but they scammed the world into millions murdered and billions duped in the process.

It's a cold. Unless you're 65+. Then you can take precautions. And that includes booster shots and wearing masks.

For everyone else who's under 65, it's a normal cold virus now. It's not the same virus that we saw at the beginning or the delta variant. It has mutated so that it is less deadly but more contagious.

You hear this from the government in Florida. But the CDC is not telling the truth.

If it's in the upper respiratory tract-yep-that's commonly called a cold. Gargle with Listerine, take a mild pain reliever.

Had a little something on Wednesday. Slight sore throat, some nausea, a bit of sinus irritation. Very tired. It was over by Thursday.
