The Telltale Signs That You Might Have COVID
Fever. Cough. Fatigue. These common symptoms could mean you have a cold, the flu — although this year’s flu season seems to have run its course already — or COVID-19. Eat This, Not That found that while the symptoms may be similar, patients with COVID-19 tend to experience them in a specific order.
A fever is typically the first sign that you have COVID-19, often followed by a cough. Fever and cough could also be signs of a cold, but the next symptoms tend to be unique to COVID-19. Watch out for gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea/vomiting and diarrhea. Finally, fatigue is another early sign of COVID-19.
Doctors say if you experience these symptoms, especially in this order, then you should get a COVID-19 test. Keep in mind, plenty of people are asymptomatic, meaning they are infected but do not show symptoms.
The Seniors Trust is committed to improving the lives of seniors by working to improve Social Security. It wants to see Congress pass the Social Security Expansion Act. This landmark piece of legislation will provide bigger monthly Social Security benefits, establish a more realistic cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for seniors, and guarantee the long-term solvency of the Social Security program.
