The CoronaVirus, also referred to as COVID-19, presents itself
in these symptoms:
cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills,
repeated shaking with chills,
muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, new loss
of smell or taste, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea
- according
to the Centers for Disease Control. They mention that anyone can have mild to severe symptoms.
They also express that older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions,
like heart or lung disease, or diabetes, seem to be at risk for developing more serious
complications from COVID-19 illness. The difficulty in spotting the CoronaVirus before
unintentionally spreading the illness is the buffer time in the appearance of the symptoms,
as the CDC says that “symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus.”
