Riskex research changes in COVID-19 symptoms as variants emerge
Official NHS list may need to be expanded as symptoms are changing and cases could be missed
Official NHS list may need to be expanded as symptoms are changing and cases could be missed
The Riskex team are researching the changes in COVID-19 symptoms that are being reported around the world as variants emerge, and patients report their experiences. A recent SKY News article explains the concerns in more detail, and personal experiences from Riskex team members who have recovered from COVID-19 support their findings.
The concern is that the official NHS symptoms list no longer reflects the reality of what sufferers are experiencing, such as the Delta variant, and that cases might be missed.
This was the personal experience of one Riskex team member, which highlighted the symptoms for the Delta variant:
Throughout this period, the experience felt like a very bad cold. Coughing was not excessive, there was no shortness of breath, and blood oxygen briefly dropped to a minimum of 85% and quickly recovered to 95%+. There was no loss of taste, and only briefly a loss of smell during the period of runny nose.
This individual had personally witnessed first-hand the suffering caused by the “Kent variant” and this seemed totally different.
We will be reporting these symptoms to the NHS for comment.
