Covid or the Flu? Or a common cold? How can you tell for sure.
Heard a report today about the outbreak(s) of Covid&Flu. The reporter axed the doctor how he can tell if one has Covid or the flu. Doc said he could easily tell cause Covid was a high grade fever and the flu was a low/mid grade fever. When I had Covid I had zero fever. Sick this past few weeks I’ve had no fever,and no chest problems either times. With both Covid and sick this past weeks I’ve had bad headaches.

A friend at the marina here is in Sports Medicine. He’s been in practice over 25 years. He owns five clinics, has contracts with universities and has 11 doctors.
Working. He doesn’t ever wear a mask for Covid. Doesn’t care if any of his people do. His opinion is that Covid is a human engineered flu that should be treated just like any other severs flu. Rest, lots of water, Electrolytes, Zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, Quecertin. And Ivermectin.

Covid Seasonality

Looking at a chart of pandemic 'new cases,' there are five distinct peaks. The two larger ones came on almost the same date in their respective years: January 13th and January 14th. The three lesser peaks all came in mid- to late- summer: July 22nd, September 2nd and July 24th.

One conclusion I might draw is that there does seem to a seasonal pattern to the surges: mid-January and mid-Summer. Another is that if another surge is coming, it may well be around January 13th.

Changing the subject a bit, my wife and I didn't see any doctors or otherwise report when we caught Covid. If the year had been 2020, perhaps we would have. But in late 2022, the fear just isn't there.

I doubt we're alone and figure that there are probably far more occurrences today than the chart shows.

The authorities probably have a pretty good handle on the number of Covid deaths, though. After all, everyone who's going to die sees a doctor first or a coroner after, right?

Putting those two things together, along with the fact that few people are dying of Covid-19 now (less than 10% as many as at the pandemic's peak), I'd say that the mortality rate is very low. Probably not as bad as for influenza.

January's charts might be interesting.
