In this video, you will learn about the symptoms associated with COVID-19. They are quite a bit different from a regular cold. The disease seems to start with a fever, followed by a dry cough.
Around 80% of confirmed cases are mild and can stay home whereas 20% are more severe and need inpatient care.
We also discuss a paper published in the respected journal The Lancet that describes the clinical course of 99 cases hospitalized for SARS-CoV-2 associated pneumonia.

Just a little tip. For the people that say they have similar symptoms to COVID-19, if you have access to healthcare provider, talk with them first on the phone. People on here claim anxiety, COVID, etc. You can't make assumptions unless you have actually gotten tested. Long story short, I ended up having Bacterial Bronchitis. Similar symptoms to COVID-19 but had I just sat at home and not contacted a doctor which prescribed antibiotics, it could've gotten way worse. Long story short, don't be afraid to to talk to someone rather than just asking here what should I do. Stay Safe everyone!
I have sore throat I’m scared. I suffer from anxiety I’m scared to go to hospital. I have 3 kids one is 11months will be one tomorrow I’m doing it for them. I’m afraid they’ll turn me away and I’ll panic more
I have fever and pain in my neck or headic :(Plz pray for me and all the people may Allah protect us from covid-19 🙂
I'm checking this, only because I hear cough in my home time to time….
I am coughing but I had no fever or dry cough
For the people who are getting some of the symptoms, I hope you get well and it isn't covid-19.Hopefully this will be over and for the people who died R.I.P Love and hope for everyone

I got a fevor after riding my bike … but I had a mask and gloves on .. after the ride I been having this fever for about 5 to 6 days now … I'm worried. The doctors said I “had” maybe a Sinus Infection when I went yesterday… tested negative for Flu … but I still am worried … I still have this fevor that the medicine they gave me is not making me feel better.🤦🏾♀️
I don't have fever but I am starting to have cough, coz my throat is swelling itchy😞
