Had a chest infection right back in Feb last year, which followed on from a viral cough.

Never lost taste thankfully

Back before the loss of fast was a reported issue, I cooked a curry on a Friday night that was so hot I couldn't eat it. My wife, who handles heat far less well than me, ate the whole thing and asked why I hadn't put any spice in. Around a month later 2+2 probably equals 5, but no-one knows, and I never became symptomatic at all

I had a bout of hives and read that rashes were a symptom of Covid - had me worried. But it turned out to be a reaction to some antibiotics I had taken - even though the course had finished several day before.

Woke up one night with a high fever, but after having the raging shits next morning I breathed a sigh of relief.

None, as I knew the likely symptoms for myself in advance, and they all came as expected. Temperature, sweating, stomach, headache. Nothing that I haven't had before. And I knew it was coming, because I had been in contact with someone who later told me they developed symptoms.

I have never had full sense of smell so it's not like I miss it ...
But actually not smelling the deodorant when you are using it was weird

From what I read.
A symptom is a manifestation of disease apparent to the patient himself, while a sign is a manifestation of disease that the physician perceives. The sign is objective evidence of disease; a symptom, subjective. Symptoms represent the complaints of the patient, and if severe, they drive him to the doctor's office.
If patient observes it = Symptom
If doctor observes it = Sign

Didn't think my first post would be about this but there you go. A sign is observable by the doctor/responder but a symptom isn't with the key words being "I feel". So a first responder finds a casualty with a leg bent at an unsual angle and notices that his face is pale and his skin is cold and clammy. These are signs that he has broken his leg and is in shock. He/she asks the casualty how they feel and is told "I feel pain, I feel cold, I feel faint, I feel thirsty." These are symptoms of the same thing.Ymx wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 9:15 pmFrom what I read.

Nope. Not following your second sentence at all. I thought if the patient felt in a certain way that was indeed a symptom. So if I said “I feel nauseous” are you saying that’s neither a sign or a symptom?

If you feel nauseous, that is something you feel but that I can't observe so it is a symptom.Ymx wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 10:07 pm Nope. Not following your second sentence at all.

Oh grammar misinterpretation. Probably needs a comma or something after the word isn’t. I’d thought isnt was in regards to the proceeding statement.
Re: What symptoms of Covid had you worried

Probably a better way of defining things. A symptom is subjective and depends on the person suffering from it. A sign is objective and can be observed by a third party.
In this context it's a fairly fine line in terms of diagnosis and is routinely ignored by all medical dramas - symptom sounds so much more "medical"

Reported deaths down quite a bit today - but the drop in new cases does seem to be levelling off a bit. I'd been hoping we'd be well under 10K per day, by this week.
I don't think the data is going to encourage Boris to announce much of a change to the restrictions we're living under.
