Below makes interesting reading and points out that the current UK Government guidelines on the first Covid - 19 ‘warning’ signs / symptoms to be aware of falls short of the findings in this study.

If you look at the zoe app or website you will see a difference in cases over that reported by the gov. There has been a change in symptoms, now more like a common cold for those with 1 or 2 vaccines. Perhaps people aren't going in for testing as the testing site itself quizzes against the older established symptoms before vaccines came into the equation.

Thanks, very interesting. Not surprised that health care workers show different symptoms, they've really been so physically and emotionally stressed.

Thank you… wow, that’s a lot of reading and concentrating! I might have to do that in stages 😉I saw a TV doctor saying that the government (U.K.) needs to update its website, because people are going for PCR tests and being told they don’t have the correct, required (original)symptoms…

Stay safe,
