No matter what year it is, fall tends to bring a slew of coughing and sneezing, but if you're feeling under the weather in 2020, it's important to know the difference between the symptoms of a cold, influenza, seasonal allergies, or the novel coronavirus.

So if you’re feeling under the weather, how do you really know if it is a cold, the flu, seasonal allergies, or a sign that you’ve contracted the novel coronavirus? The novel coronavirus is a respiratory illness, so symptoms focus around the lungs. For many patients, a dry cough and fever are the most predominant symptoms.

CTVNews Poorly done chart. Not correct

CTVNews Whoever made this chart should be embarrassed.

CTVNews People with the scoots after seeing the info graphic.

CTVNews What a BS chart that is. We screen patients every day with a questionnaire way more complex than this....

CTVNews Now let put a chart up on how many deaths were contributed to COV-19, Flu, Cold, Allergies this year

CTVNews This guide-chart is more precise and thus better informative, imho:

CTVNews So to tell the difference between Covid and flu you must check for diarrhea?

CTVNews You will be asked about diarrhea at the ER during screening.

CTVNews So, clear as mud. Two families I know all got tested this week, all negative. Welcome to fall in Canada. I feel sorry for testing facilities & govts who have to pay for all this.

what about the loss of taste or having a weird taste, is that a symptom of covid?

My god! A pandemic with a disease so utterly terrifying we need to be told how to tell it apart from a cold.

Get tested if you have 1 or more symptom of Covid. Simple.

Cdnpoli A properly functioning ventilation system greatly reduces contagion of all airborne diseases including colds, & flu like Covid19. It will also filter out the dust that causes allergic reactions. We really need a filter to eliminate crooked politicians & FakeNews!

Let’s not give up on the notion of progress amidst the COVID-19 pandemicThe strides of the past show the possibilities of the future, despite the COVID-19 pandemic The idea of progress is highly subjective .

Where'd the first wave go? What has Ontario been doing the past 6 months? Seeing as LTC homes were the hardest hit you would think the priority would be to safe guard them first. Especially politicians & the msm who warn about second, third, fourth...20th...waves every day.
