My diagnosis reinforced two COVID tenets: testing is the only way to differentiate between respiratory illnesses and COVID symptoms can manifest differently upon reinfection.
COVID symptoms can be mild, severe, or nonexistent, and can appear as late as two weeks after exposure to the virus.
New variants of COVID continue to emerge, with symptoms varying by variant, although the CDC hasn't tied specific symptoms to any variant yet.
The CDC encourages the public to be vigilant for symptoms like congestion, cough, fatigue, fever, and new loss of taste or smell.
