I noticed this off a CBS-news site today.....where a King's College medical team had finally researched Covid-19 a good bit, and classified it into six 'levels'.
1. Plain old flu-like, zero fever. A sore throat, cough and loss of smell might fall into this group.
2. Plain old flu-like, with fever. Same conditions as above, but with loss of appetite.
3. Flu-like with gastrointestinal issues. All of the above conditions....just add diarrhea and subtract the cough.
4. Severe case #1: All of the previous conditions....add fatigue and weakness.
5. Severe case #2: confusion setting in, with all previous conditions.
6. Severe case #3: Add breathing issues, and abdominal swelling.
Why six levels? Unknown.
If you examine the first three....it's all regular flu-like situations which most of us have seen a dozen times in our life.
The confusion factor in severe case #2? Yes, that's the odd one and it makes you wonder if this is a fever situation making you this way or just the pure weakness.
From the first four.....you could deduce that handling the situation at home would work with no issue. Around Severe case #2.....you'd probably have to take the hospital route for intensive help.
