If only they had shut down flights and closed the borders as we were begging, by now they’d be our heroes, no need for all this long talk |
OP shame on u trying to use this deadly virus for traffic. Folks, here’s the entire article, my small contribution towards our communal efforts towards stopping the virus: New Symptoms You Should Know About Coronavirus, U.S Doctors By admin April 2, 2020 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has made the symptoms of COVID-19 crystal clear: fever, cough, and shortness of breath. But as more and more people develop the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, experts are seeing a wide range of symptoms in patients—and they tend to overlap with the common cold, flu, and even allergies. The CDC maintains those big three are the symptoms of novel coronavirus, but the World Health Organization (WHO) has a more extensive list that includes 14 different symptoms detected in people with mild cases of COVID-19. That’s a big deal, since “most people infected with the COVID-19 virus have mild disease and recover,” per a February report of a joint World Health Organization-China mission. In fact, that report found that 80% of confirmed patients had mild to moderate disease. So, which coronavirus symptoms should you be paying closer attention to—and what should you do if you think you may be infected? Here’s what doctors want you to know. Back up: Why does the CDC only list three novel coronavirus symptoms? “It’s because these are the most common symptoms in the U.S.,” says Richard Watkins, M.D., infectious disease physician and professor of internal medicine at Northeast Ohio Medical University. Fever: This is by far the most common sign of COVID-19, and is defined by having a temperature of 100.4° F or higher. Cough: Experts say patients typically develop a dry cough, meaning you’re coughing but nothing is coming up, like phlegm or mucus. quinex Shortness of breath: This symptom often presents in more advanced cases and can range in severity. Some people simply feel winded by otherwise normal activities, while others end up having trouble breathing on their own. “It feels like you’re not getting enough air,” says David Cutler, M.D., a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif. That said, several studies have shown a solid number of people infected with COVID-19 have no symptoms. “We are likely missing many cases here in the U.S.,” Dr. Watkins says. What are the mild symptoms of novel coronavirus? In the WHO report, the organization analyzes nearly 56,000 cases of COVID-19 in China and breaks down a wide range of “typical” symptoms, as well as how often people with the virus experienced them: Fever (87.9%) Dry cough (67.7%) Fatigue (38.1%) Sputum production (33.4%) Shortness of breath (18.6%) Sore throat (13.9%) Headache (13.6%) Muscle aches and pains (14.8%) Chills (11.4%) Nausea or vomiting (5.0%) Nasal congestion (4.8%) Diarrhea (3.7%) Coughing up blood (0.9%) Red eyes (0.8%) A lost sense of smell wasn’t on the WHO’s list, but several organizations—including the British Rhinological Society, British Association of Otorhinolaryngology, and American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), say it’s a possible symptom, too. Below, what you need to know about the mild symptoms that didn’t make the CDC’s list: Lost sense of smell This “has been seen in patients ultimately testing positive for the coronavirus with no other symptoms,” the AAO-HNS said in a statement. “It could potentially be used as a screening tool to help identify otherwise asymptomatic patients, who could then be better instructed on self-isolation.” According to a joint statement from the British Rhinological Society and British Association of Otorhinolaryngology, two out of every three people with confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Germany had a lost sense of smell, and 30% of patients in South Korea who tested positive experienced the same thing. “Viruses are a common cause of changes to the sense of smell or taste that can occur with an upper respiratory infection,” says Rachel Kaye, M.D., assistant professor of laryngology-voice, airway, and swallowing disorders at Rutgers University. “Viral infection can result in both inflammation and swelling of the nasal cavity lining, leading to nasal congestion, which in turn causes a change in smell. Furthermore, there is also some evidence that viral infection can lead to neurologic damage in the smell receptors.” Fatigue It’s not shocking that a viral infection would cause people to feel completely wiped out, says Susan Besser, M.D., a primary care physician at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. “Your body is working hard to fight the virus, and that requires a lot of energy,” she says. “It doesn’t leave much energy left over for you.” Sputum production Sputum production, a.k.a. excess mucus that you may cough up, isn’t super common with COVID-19, but it’s common enough that more than a third of patients have experienced it. Dr. Cutler points out that sputum production is common with plenty of other respiratory conditions, like the common cold and allergies, so you shouldn’t rush to assume you have coronavirus if you’re experiencing this. Sore throat Because COVID-19 is a respiratory virus, you may have postnasal drip (where excess mucus drips down the back of your nose and throat) and that can cause irritation in your throat, Dr. Besser says. Also, constantly coughing can be tough on your throat in general. Aches, pains, and headaches These are common symptoms with viruses, Dr. Cutler says. “When you get a viral infection, often you get a fever and that fever response can cause the body to feel achy all over,” he explains. “We see that with the flu and other infections as well.” Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting There’s no clear reason to explain why this is happening in some people, Dr. Besser says, but she has some theories. “It’s possibly due to increased drainage from postnasal drip into the stomach—that can cause issues,” she says. It could also just be the way the virus itself behaves in some people, she says. New research in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, found that a “unique sub-group” of COVID-19 patients develop digestive symptoms. “In some cases, the digestive symptoms, particularly diarrhea, can be the initial presentation of COVID-19, and may only later or never present with respiratory symptoms or fever,” the researchers wrote. They believe these symptoms may occur because the virus enters your system through “a receptor found in both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract where it is expressed at nearly 100-fold higher levels than in respiratory organs.” If you’re experiencing multiple symptoms of COVID-19, get your doctor on the phone. You should not go to the hospital, because you could potentially spread the virus if you do have it or pick it up if you actually don’t. Once you discuss your symptoms, your doctor will be able to determine if you qualify for a COVID-19 test and go from there. However, there is no specific cure for novel coronavirus and most people are being advised to treat mild symptoms with over-the-counter remedies while isolating at home for at least 14 days, Dr. Watkins says. “Many people have symptoms for two weeks—some longer and others a shorter duration,” he adds. For a fever, aches, and pains, have acetaminophen (Tylenol) on hand and follow the label’s dosage instructions. Turn to cough medicine or tea with honey to relieve your cough or sore throat. Plenty of rest and fluids are also recommended. If you notice your symptoms getting worse, though, call your doctor again about next steps. And if the following occur, the CDC says it’s your cue to head to the hospital: Trouble breathing Persistent pain or pressure in the chest New confusion or inability to arouse Bluish lips or face Other severe or concerning symptoms (like a fever that won’t die down) When can you leave your home after experiencing novel coronavirus symptoms? The CDC has guidelines that depend on whether you have access to a COVID-19 test. If you will not have a test, the CDC says you can leave home after these three things happen: You don’t have a fever for at least 72 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. Your symptoms have improved. At least seven days have passed since you first had symptoms. If you will have a test, you can leave home after the following: You no longer have a fever without the use of fever-reducing medication. Your symptoms have improved. You received two negative tests in a row, 24 hours apart. When in doubt, call your doctor to be on the safe side. |
MrBrownJay1:Yeah, yeah, anything is possible in conspiracy theory - just as the index Italian didn’t exist but a conspiracy of FG and doctors to get money. That book made it clear everything was an educated guess - “if such happens before 2025”, is not saying with certainty, knowing full well it is overdue. Someone wants to sell stocks, instead of spraying the virus in NYC where the stock market is, they spray it in Wuhan! Not only that, it starts specifically with 7 traders in a wet market. Okay o, I guess anything is possible - until you look into history and see that same exact thing or worse happened before, without anyone wanting to sell stocks! Here’s what likely happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7nZ4mw4mXw |
Quinex:Who knows indeed. But we actually have the power to make things happen if we really want to; we humans like to pretend things are beyond our control. This lockdown, I’ve actually been working - on the web. I lost the email to this account. Is there another way to contact? |
MrBrownJay1:Bros, It is easy to read too much into these things without historical perspective. Example, some people are convinced this is sign of imminent end of the world, not knowing same thing has happened many times in the past. When something like this happens the first thing scientists all over the world do is check if it could be from the lab. There is a unanimous consensus it is not. I can predict right now with 100% certainty that this WILL happen again. I know because it has always happened (see below). Unless u can tell us exactly what it is Freemasons gain by bringing all these plagues
|
MrBrownJay1:Oh the book is ok. It is the spin u put on it that is the problem. The book merely makes a fairly accurate SIENTIFIC prediction of what will happen. But this is what u wrote: “we are just pawn in this game they are playing... ...this is no coincidence, their plan was just put in motion and we have yet to see the end of it.” |
jared007:What don’t u agree with about the paragraph? OK, so Freemasons have been causing all these plagues. Can u tell exactly what it is they gain |
jared007:There are people who devote their entire lives to the study of these things. Some lose their lives. They are also the ones that’d ultimately find a vaccine. It is lack of historical perspective that have u thinking conspiracy. This happens about once every century. The last one (1918-20) claimed about 90m lives. |
CoronaVirusPro:This is how u know a country without problems. In hard hit countries no one remembers party. In Italy they’d think u r crazy. In US no one remembers Democrat or Republican |
Roon9:I wrote the below way back on March 17
|
Roon9:It is lack of knowledge of history that makes u think it is one gigantic conspiracy. See below
|
light099:U mean this book by psychic Sylvia Browne. TB Joshua said the same thing. Unfortunately they’ve both been proven wrong. Not only that, the book contains other wrong predictions
|
Roon9:Well u have a right to your own opinion and beliefs BUT you don’t have a right to your own facts. These are SCIENTIFIC FACTS |
Franzinni:Here’s “where it actually originated and I mean how it came to humans” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7nZ4mw4mXw |
Franzinni:Well here is something I wrote way back on March 17. Read it and you’ll understand my frustration
|
So u r only now learning this? This forum sef Well better late than never |
Vaccines are being tested all over the place, not only China |
MrBrownJay1:CUT THE CONSPIRACY CRAP! That’s what scientists who know these things are telling u! |
And Naija has recorded exactly 2 deaths total, both of them with foreign ties. Yet we are comparing number of ventilators! |
Sparrow0:That’s for people who get their science from movies and hearsay. Below is what people who spend their lives studying these things are saying. CUT THE CONSPIRACY CRAP! That’s what these scientists below are telling u folks
|
Magic1:Watch the video. No where did he say 2020! You people should calm down. No other Nigerian pastor has ever given such a precise, compact, and direct prophesy. Give him credit for bravery |
A whole ancestral spirit! What is this world coming to |
I agree with Lunatic Olunloyo on this one o! Uzodinma is a cheating, lying, document-forging CROOK! |
ipobarethieves:Well u can’t really blame them - it takes a lot of food to become a pregnant man ![]() |
ravensckar:Bless u too. Sorry u going through so much. But it could be worse (see below). As the philosopher Socrates said (his wife was always nagging him): “Young man marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.” ![]() I Hope u don’t mind I cc your post to these guys below. 300wayne, uyplus, IamHonourable1, SamOyovwi, deltateam, makethegrades
|
Quinex:This is how it starts. You never know. B4 u know it... How r u? How’s the lockdown treating ya |
OP u repeated same pics |
Juniorangel:Creative. Relative should be SARS not Ebola - both are from the same country! |
helinues:Then again same NY had 146 deaths yesterday from coro in 24hrs. How many has the entire Nigeria had?? Let me never hear anybody again complain about our hot weather, hot sun, and malaria. But for those things by this time Italy would be nothing compared to us! |
ImModern:Federal govt and Lagos State Government. It says it right there in the article! |
ImadeUReadThis:Those are books written millennia ago. Once again, what have they ever done to YOU?! |
Digitalstarlite:Actually Italy also discharged their first 3 patients. They have a high number of old people due to their VERY GOOD health system that kept them live! |
