A member asked:

Do people with novel coronavirus get any vomiting? if yes, how bad is the vomiting, and what portion of infected people start vomiting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Like many other viruses this one selects its chosen tissue to infect as the linings of the respiratory tract. It would not be unexpected that someone severely infected might also vomit, but that would be triggered by the virus, but by the declining condition of the person infected.
