A member asked:

With covid, would the symptoms come and go over a period of almost 2 weeks? do you start with only a couple and then slowly get more symptoms, or do they all start around the same time?

Covid: For most people, most of the symptoms will all happen within a few days and then improve from there. In some people they can get a few other symptoms within a week of onset , usually this happens in older people or with multiple medical problems.
