COVID-19 affects people in different ways. Most infected people develop a mild to moderate form of the disease and recover without hospitalization. With 22,427,054 cases confirmed worldwide as of Thursday, August 20, the death toll shows a gruesome toll of 788,015 for 14,349,473 healings.
American researchers at the University of Southern California have looked into a study to try to find out more about the transmission and also the symptoms. Data from 50,000 patients with Covid-19 in China made it possible to analyze the order of symptom onset in most patients. Thus, patients affected by the virus first show signs of fever, cough, then muscle pain, nausea and vomiting, ending with diarrhea.
“Our results suggest that good clinical practice should involve recording the order of onset of symptoms in Covid-19 and other diseases.Had such systemic clinical practice been the norm since diseases of the past, perhaps the transition from a local epidemic to a pandemic could have been avoided.“, explain the authors of this study.
