A number of us have either tested positive ourselves or had a close contact that has tested positive. I think it would be useful to all of us, hopefully, to share what symptoms you or your household member had at the time of testing.

If you would be so kind, I think if we listed ages as well as whether or not a fever was present in our posts, that could be helpful too.


Respiratory symptoms = trouble breathing, coughing, sneezing, congestion, runny nose, sore throat, sinus pain, etc.

GI symptoms = vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, etc.

Neurological = headache, muscle/body/joint pain, confusion, delirium, memory loss, loss of taste/smell. Loss of taste/smell is the most common reported neurological symptom and one of the most prevalent symptoms of COVID and will be included in many of the polling options.

"Atypical" = covid toes, skin rash, cardiac, blood clots, other (describe in post)
