Infected norwalk symptom virus

It is generally spread from person to person by direct contact, but some medical reports suggest that the virus can spread through the air during vomiting. Although the virus is easy to spread, serious illness rarely occurs. The most common symptoms include nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Diarrhea may occasionally accompany vomiting. Fever is usually low grade or absent. Infected people generally recover in one to two days. No specific treatment is available. Persons who become dehydrated might need to be rehydrated by taking liquids by mouth.

For the first time, researchers are uncovering disconcerting evidence that COVID is spreading amongst the deer population, which could spell trouble for humans. Researchers took nasal swabs from white-tailed deer in the US between January and March when the number of COVID cases was surging across the country, which found that more than 35 percent were previously infected or dealing with an active case. While there have been no reported cases of COVID spread from deer to humans, researchers cautioned that circulation of the virus in deer could potentially pose a risk if the animal becomes a "reservoir for the virus.

However, there are many other symptoms that can appear as well; falls and changes in level of consciousness in older people, the worsening of chronic conditions, conjunctivitis, and the loss of taste and smell.

People with severe COVID have trouble breathing and will need supplemental oxygen or ventilator assisted breathing in hospitals. Fewer people are getting severe COVID, but a lot of people are getting mild illnesses that, like my experience, are not easy to distinguish.

This is allowing for very easy transmission and COVID outbreaks have increased again in hospitals and congregate settings. What I am seeing more of in COVID cases now are worsening of chronic conditions and changes of level of consciousness as mentioned with older people , a mild dry cough, mild diarrhea, sneezing and a stuffy nose.

Robert G. Lahita MD, Ph. Bob" , Director of the Institute for Autoimmune and Rheumatic Disease at Saint Joseph Health and author of Immunity Strong states, "Everyone's immune system is different, so people will have different responses when they contract this virus.

Some people are asymptomatic and feel completely fine; others experience very severe symptoms and end up in the hospital. In general, if you are vaccinated you will experience much less severe symptoms.

Right now, there are many cases of the Omicron variant, which produces a more mild immune response. According to Dr. Bob, "Again, it varies person to person. Some people feel bad for a day; others feel bad for longer. Everyone's immune system is unique. However, you can test positive for COVID up to months after initial infection without being contagious. Bob says.
