NEJM Stats: ONLY 43.8% Present with fever

So when CDC says if you were exposed, but asymptomatic, go back to work & we will take your temp, you know that they know better! 🤬

Fever is one of the primary symptoms of COVID-19, though a substantial number of patients never develop one. One study found that when patients were first admitted to the hospital with COVID-19, only 44% had fever. But as the disease progressed, 89% eventually reported a high temperature."

Snip

So, it appears our illustrious govt wants workers at work until their viral load is super high? Maximum damage & death is apparently the goal with CDC. 🤬
