symptoms of covid are actually fatigue and headache?

not colds, well we knew it was not colds

That's really interesting. I was ill at the end of February - I agonising bruises popping up all over the soles of my feet and toes, which disappeared like magic after 10 days, followed by an awful headache that lasted for nearly a week.

I was absolutely exhausted, lost my appetite, went to work but crawled into bed when I got home.

Then I had a sore throat, and slightly raised temperature.

I've looked back at my Google searches, and I was googling verrucas, bruising, migraine, migraine hangover, ME, CFS, asthma and chronic fatigue.....

My neighbours both had CV (NHS workers & tested) one had classic symptoms, 4 weeks off work, the other severe fatigue only.
Mid 50's no underlying health issues, still off work 5 months later.

@jasjas1973 why are they still off work 5 months later?

Yes, you appeared to be making a serious point that you wanted some personal symptoms. Obvioulsy it's hard to tell from the written word but if you were joking isn't it usual to indicate it with an emoji of some sort.

Lol

The frustration is that even if people are adding symptoms to their covid app there are no tests and so the symptoms won't be linked in many cases.
