There are six different types of COVID-19, researchers say
Researchers have determined that there are six different types of COVID-19, all that have varying degrees of symptoms and severity, according to a study from Kings College London. Flu-like with no fever: Headache, loss of smell, muscle pains, cough, sore throat, chest pain, no fever. Flu-like with fever: Headache, loss of smell, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, fever, loss of appetite. Severe level two, confusion: Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, fever, hoarseness, sore throat, chest pain, fatigue, confusion, muscle pain. The discovery of these six different sets of COVID-19 symptoms was developed after researchers used a machine learning algorithm to analyze data they received from an estimated 1,600 users in the United Kingdom and the United States with confirmed COVID-19.
