contrary to popular belief, most C-19 cases won't have fever

Post by Munchy »

my wife has been slightly ill since she was informed that a co-worker had tested positive, but in her typical fashion of denial, she claims that since she has no fever, she must be okay. I can hear her upstairs coughing constantly right now. and I've had a hell of a headache for the past 24+ hours, which no amount of Tylenol or sleep could help. a double-shot of Irish cream in my coffee finally muted it. But my point is that I just noticed this important related info, which says that most C-19 cases won't have fevers, contrary to what I've been noticing is quite a popular belief, given that even medical centers are routinely checking the temperature of everyone entering, and if no fever is detected, well I was given a green sticker to wear showing that I had screened as ok.

Is the “dry cough” of COVID-19 readily recognizable to a person even casually familiar with the disease? Is the cough unique?
Let me be clear, there is no easily detectable, obvious symptom for C-19. The “covid cough” you are referring to does exist. Many people will have a “slight dry cough” as one of their C-19 symptoms. But most will not. They will still be infectious though.

Many people will have a fever as a result of their C-19 infection. But most will not. Assuming that a building is “safe" because they are taking temperature readings is foolish because most C-19 cases won't have fevers. But they will still be infectious.

It is estimated that 80% of all C-19 infections will be asymptomatic or very mild. So mild that you probably wouldn't even know you were sick. Yet all of these individuals are still going to be infectious to some degree, and it will be impossible to tell by looking at them.

The 20% that get seriously ill from their C-19 infection will go through a presymptomatic phase before they start having coughs or fevers. People typically become infectious 3 days after getting infected but generally have no symptoms for 10–15 days before becoming ill. During this whole time they are infectious without any visible sign of their infection.

There is no easily detectable way to know if someone has a C-19 infection. You cannot tell by looking at someone. You cannot tell by taking their temperature. You cannot tell by listening to their cough.

This is why masking for everyone in public is necessary to help prevent the spread of the virus. Because even people who have the virus cannot always tell if they have it. Pretty much assume that anyone not wearing a mask is spewing virus particles into the air and adding to the viral load of the space they are in. Avoid enclosed spaces where masking is not being practiced.

The Truth About Corona Virus

The figures ive been comfortable with are that 25percent of positives have no symptoms and another 25percent have such slight symptoms that they never seek testing. That means that at least half of all positives go uncounted and explains the mysterious surge all states are reporting in addition to covid victims. The 150,000 total is a signifacant undercount. I had the horrible dry cough with no fever of note for about three weeks in late march

But testing wasnt available and i didnt press the issue at the time as the facts were far less in evidence at the time. Havnt had any discernable side effects that are being talked about but then again the worest would need a doctor to point out

with this lack of fever info, I just finally convinced her to schedule a test, but she hasn't yet told me when it will be. and the news lately indicates at least a week to get results. hopefully now she will start acting like she's in quarantine at least around here pending the results, but the way things have been going, if she has it, I probably won't be able to avoid getting it as well, if I haven't already. my cat Gizmo died a few weeks back and Tigger has started having problems now as well, suddenly barely able walk, so it may just be clean sweep. at least I've finally gotten my work backlog under control.

The numbers for MI are not accurate...they are over stated.
You have access to the numbers I follow...compare them.
If MI is over stated, what of the others?

By overstated your talking simply that they are more than tested positive?

Bob, My numbers come from World o meter .. John Hopkins ect..
I thought you said those were the same numbers you were talking about earlier.

Here's a repost of the snapshot. it's a database. I clicked on the sort by new deaths button and you see the new sorting.

You can also go World o meter and sort by new deaths or new cases per million. I was trying not to downplay California's predicament. I wanted to include New York as that used to be the number one hotspot.
