Since nobody is talking about Covid, like it’s gone or something (and it’s definitely not), I’d like to bring you all up to speed on the latest.
The most common variant, BA.5, has the following symptoms (based on folks who have tested positive): (The percentages indicate that for example 64% of Covid positive folks experienced sore throats)
- Sore throat 64%
- Runny nose and/or headache 53%
- Blocked nose and/or dry cough 52%
- Sneezing 47%
- Cough with phlegm 46%
- Hoarse voice 44%
- Muscle pains and aches 29%
- Fatigue 23%
- Dizzy / light headed 21%
- Altered smell 20%
- Swollen neck glands 18%
- Sore eyes 16%
- Chest pain and/or shortness of breath 16%
- Loss of smell 14%
- Earache 15%
- Chills 13%
- Joint pain 11%
The experts are suggesting that this indicates we are very close to an endemic phase, as Covid slowly becomes more of an inconvenience for healthy people than a health risk.
