[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most common symptoms (based on the data out of China)

Fever, fatigue, dry cough, loss of appetite, muscle aches, shortness of breath starting around day 5 and respiratory symptoms progressing fairly rapidly with presentation to hospital with respiratory concerns typically about day 7.

Least common symptoms (less than 10% of cases):
Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, runny nose, sore throat, coughing up sputum / blood.

Sources: Wang et al ( n = 138), Chen et al ( n = 99), and Huang et al ( n = 41). All found similar symptom profiles.[/quote]

I am very suspicious my DS had this in early February as did many kids at school. Lots of absences. Like events cancelled because too many participants were out sick. And email notices that kid would be absent bounced back because the person you sent it to was out sick. My DC's symptoms: out of nowhere high fever, chills, exhausted, slept for over a day, aches, dry cough, dizzy, slight soar throat. Strep and flu tests were negative. It did not progress to respiratory, though the dry cough lingered. I rarely take this kid to the doctor for a sick visit. Glad I did, as it is in the records and I'm sure every office is reviewing their cases histories.[/quote]

I know a mom with younger kids in Colorado who said in mid February, the entire family and in laws had high fevers (104) for almost a week and all tested negative for flu. Now she's wondering if they had covid and nobody knew. [/quote]
