I thought it might be helpful to elaborate on one of the symptoms of Coronavirus. Shortness of breath can manifest subtly. If you find yourself yawning or sighing frequently, this could be a sign of shortness of breath. Wishing all the best of health!

What's bothering me, is that the symptoms of a common cold, a seasonal flu, and Corona are pretty much IDENTICAL! At first I thought it was allergies that were triggering asthma. Again, same symptoms (until the fever hit.)

Dr. Google says I'm going to die - and I probably just have a cold - unless I don't. I'm staying indoors until I'm asymptomatic.

There really isn't a differential diagnosis based on symptoms, only on the tests that everyone is running out of. Confused

Yup.
My kids constantly have colds during the winter that produce dry or wet coughs, runny nose, and sometimes fever. They'll feel weak and just sick. And all it is is a cold. Yes, confirmed a zillion times in the past by the pediatrician.
But now all these symptoms are the same....

Yep, got that too. Combined with loss of appetite, maybe I'll lose those stubborn last 10 pounds. Gotta look on the bright side, right?

Shortness or breath- not the first sign , only when complications are arise . And then you have to go immediately to the hospital.

Phlegm can indicate that it's moved on to bronchitis - or that it was just a cold to begin with. Again, it's so hard to say which.
