Six new coronavirus symptoms just officially added to CDC list. What are they?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tripled the number of coronavirus symptoms it lists on its website.

The federal organization previously listed fever, cough and shortness of breath as symptoms of COVID-19. The CDC has added six additional symptoms as people “have had a wide range of symptoms reported,” it says on its website.

New symptoms for the disease now include “chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell,” the CDC said.

There are more than 869,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and nearly 50,000 deaths in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University, but this is the first time the CDC has increased the number of signs of the disease.

1. This information just prompted me to check my temp.

That and ... 2 ambulances just stopped 4 houses away from my home.

4. I don't know anyone who has tested positive.

New York has been hard hit even a 100 miles north of NYC.

I worry and I stay home.

6. They still haven't added joint pain

I had what felt like a severe case of arthritis in my hips suddenly starting on March 18 and just as mysteriously fading in the first week of April. I'm nearly certain it was COVID since one of my coworkers tested positive in the first week of March, and about the same time as my "arthritis" (which had me looking for new ways to put on and tie my shoes and get in and out of the car) four others lost their sense of taste, and two more had flu-like symptoms too mild to warrant a test in those early test-sparse days. And of course close to half of the infected don't seem to get any symptoms at all.

Very helpful...

8. Except for the shortness of breath,

I had all of those. My sniffer has never worked well, but I had no interest in food anyway except a craving for orange juice.

9. It may be new to the CDC but those symptoms have been understood

to many of us for weeks and to the front line workers for longer. Glad they're finally getting around to mentioning it. Gees.
