A member asked:
Does covid come on fast like the flu, or would it be a slow onset of symtoms?

It can come on fast, be asymptomatic and result in a gradual worsening of symptoms. If you have any concern, get tested. A single nasal swab can test for both flu and Covid. Wish you good health!

The flu tends to present gradually. COVID-19 presents in a variety of ways, and can worden suddenly.
