TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA – Epidemiologist Griffith University Australia Dicky Budiman said that the symptoms of the corona virus (Covid-19) are similar to influenza, making the number of those infected with this virus increasing.
This is because they do not realize symptoms such as muscle pain and chills can also potentially show symptoms Covid-19.
“That’s why this is why Covid is dangerous, in the sense that people are not aware, don’t realize, because who has never had muscle pain, aches, if we want to catch the flu, that’s the same way,” said Dicky, to Tribunnews, Friday ( 12/2/2021).
Influenza disease in various countries generally has the same symptoms, but because of symptoms Covid-19 this is similar to influenza, so many people are not aware that they may be infected Covid-19.
“Now these symptoms are common for the public, not only in Indonesia, in various countries getting the flu like that,” explained Dicky.
The symptoms caused by this virus certainly do not show physical signs such as smallpox or dengue fever.

So that the general public will consider the symptoms experienced when they start to become infected Covid-19, because they think they only have regular influenza.
However, people can begin to realize if the symptoms they feel show a quite severe level, namely breathing problems.
“Now this is different, for example if smallpox has freckles, or for example, there is dengue fever until a nosebleed like that. Now (Covid-19), the symptoms are almost like flu and flu for the mild ones, but for those with severe (symptoms) later. there is trouble breathing, “said Dicky.
