It is heartening to know that many COVID infections can be mild. It doesn't mean that the virus isn't devastating, the fact that long-haul COVID can happen with even a mild case, and how much we have all lost and are still losing.
Mild cases have existed since the beginning, and they are still around thanks to vaccines and boosters. Current estimates show that the unvaccinated are nine times more likely to be hospitalized with severe COVID.
What does a mild infection look like now compared to earlier versions? Wondering what symptoms you should be on the lookout for, even if you are fully vaccine free. Here is what you need to know.
The hallmark symptoms of chronic are a loss of taste and smell.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms can appear anywhere between two and 14 days after exposure, but on average it takes about five or six days. The mild symptoms you should be looking for are those that we have heard about before, such as a cough, a cold, and a feeling of being unwell.
Mild cases of loss of taste and smell continue to be common. More than half of people who have really mild cases lose their sense of smell, according to some estimates.
Sniffles, sneezing, headaches and GI symptoms are common now.
Many people present with mild signs that have nothing to do with the organs and tissues that help them breathe. The CDC has a list of the most common symptoms.
The evolution of COVID symptoms has been seen by the One Medical team.
She has personally treated patients who came in with symptoms they thought couldn't possibly be the same as a stomach bug, or a seasonal allergy, who tested positive for the virus.
The challenge is that the symptoms are similar to what people experience when they get a cold, the flu, a stomach bug, and so many other common illnesses that circulate during the colder months.
There is a range of symptoms and overlap.
Experts say that a single symptom is enough to warrant testing.
It is essential that people get tested because it is difficult to distinguish between a cold and a breakthrough COVID infection based on symptoms alone.
Patients with one symptom think it can't be true. I have the vaccine. In some instances, they have had a breakthrough COVID infection, and they will come in for testing.
If you have any symptoms, such as a sniffles or a headaches, you should get a COVID test, even if you haven't had a concussion. One symptom is all it takes.
The CDC also encourages that kind of caution. The agency says to get tested if you have any symptoms. The growth of at- home testing options makes it simpler to do, although the gold standard remains.
It is recommended that you isolated for 10 days until you can test negative. Some people think that we are making people get vaccine for too long. It can be difficult to take a break from work and family for 10 days, and new evidence shows that people who have mild breakthrough are unlikely to contribute to an outbreak.
If you have any symptoms at all and you test positive, you should be isolated.
It is not clear how omicron could change this.
In real time, experts are learning about the new variant of omicron. Omicron symptoms might be milder than delta, according to early reports. It is too early to know, health officials say. They warned that the variant could change the course of the epidemic.
That is why prevention strategies are so important. According to Bhuyan, only about one in four American adults have been boosted. Eligibility for the Pfizer booster has been expanded to 16 and 17-year-olds. She said to wear a mask in indoor settings.
"Our best weapon has always been to take this virus very seriously," he said.
The experts are still learning. As scientists discover more about the virus, the information in this story can change. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has the most up to date recommendations.

Walensky said that there was an "extraordinary amount of deaths in a single day from this disease."
