2. The 6 clusters

The six clusters are as follows:
1 (‘flu-like’ with no fever): Headache, loss of smell, muscle pains, cough, sore throat, chest pain, no fever.

2 (‘flu-like’ with fever): Headache, loss of smell, cough, sore throat, hoarseness, fever, loss of appetite.

3 (gastrointestinal): Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, diarrhea, sore throat, chest pain, no cough.

4 (severe level one, fatigue): Headache, loss of smell, cough, fever, hoarseness, chest pain, fatigue.

5 (severe level two, confusion): Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, fever, hoarseness, sore throat, chest pain, fatigue, confusion, muscle pain.

6 (severe level three, abdominal and respiratory): Headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, cough, fever, hoarseness, sore throat, chest pain, fatigue, confusion, muscle pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, abdominal pain.

7. Perhaps loss of smell is far more prevalent in the UK. I am not sure this algorithm would apply here

They include it across every cluster...

Other studies have recognized a prevalence of anosmia of 34-68%

6. I've been thinking of Lloyd Bridges often lately. Nt

18. I'll still watch him in episodes of his show Sea Hunt. And don't forget his appearnce on Seinfeld!

Airplane showed his skill with comedy too!

5. Thanks, Captain. I'm sure our research is showing something

very similar. And more, of course. Like symptom groups for babies. A lot of positives are being found on testing.

9. Smelling your farts is now a good thing.

10. Ha heh ha heh ha...now you're giving those who let a fart an excuse now to do it in public!!

12. You stick around to smell it? Most people seem to be drop it and leave it.

You’ve never walked into a fart cloud in a public place with NO ONE near it?

11. This has me a bit worried...

I feel like death, and I'm pretty sure it's not from a recent tooth extraction. I'm self isolating and have been for about 130 days, but I have had to go out a few times to the dentist/doctor.

Thanks for posting this.

13. Maybe you should call your Doctor. It doesn't seem to be a good thing to assume with COVID19. nt

15. I'll start with a dentist on Monday

if things don't calm down. i'm not sure why he didn't schedule a follow-up visit. Took him over 30 minutes to get one damn tooth out. I'm thinking it is tooth related, or possibly related to the painkillers which I stopped completely because it seemed like my body didn't like them.

Can't take NSAIDS because of a kidney condition, he offered a script for opiates, told him I already had some at home, so I've been taking those. The reason I have them at home is because of back trouble, but I almost never take them, so I had a bunch of them left over. Now I am reminded why I don't take them too often. I might be one of those people who can't tolerate them.

16. I hope you haven't been feeling symptoms for 130 days; just isolating

How long have you been feeling bad? It sounds like a lot of people who end up in the hospital it’s after around 10 days. Good luck.
