The symptoms appear to range in severity. Where some people suffer mild flu symptoms, others have contracted viral pneumonia, which is resistant to antibiotics and therefore difficult to treat. However, most people infected are likely to fully recover, just as they would from a flu.
'Symptoms of the coronavirus are similar to other upper respiratory tract infections. This includes coughing, a runny nose, a sore throat and sometimes a fever,' explains Dr Abbs. 'In most cases, it is not easy to tell, without testing, whether you have a coronavirus or another cold-causing virus, like rhinovirus. This new strain in China, however, appears to have the fever as the most prominent symptom.'
Other common signs of infection include shortness of breath, breathing difficulties and body aches. The stronger a person's immune system, the better their chance of recovery – those who have died are known to have suffered from existing health issues.
peace out and stay safe 🤙
