While the Delta variant continues to send people to the hospital, Omicron is very virulent and explodes the number of contaminations. Indeed, according to scientists, in less than a month, 1 in 2 Europeans will be affected by the latter. And if specialists and politicians agree that it is less dangerous, it is however more contagious, and new symptoms are constantly appearing.
This is a real headache for specialists. If the symptoms of: colds, small flus, sore throats, or breathing difficulties are the main signs of Covid-19 in a human. Others have also been discovered. Remember, in 2020, during the first and the second wave, many patients lost their taste and smell. Symptoms that now seem to be going away. But with Omicron, a completely new one has just been discovered.
A new unpleasant symptom
American scientists from the Center for Disease Control have warned, many symptoms have yet to be verified. And yet they rage. As is the case in particular with diarrhea. This symptom had already been implied during the first wave, before finally being abandoned. But now, with the new variant, many patients have this little toilet problem. Indeed, it is above all people with a weakened immune system who are most likely to have this unpleasant symptom.
A new symptom now closely studied since recent studies made at the John Hopkins Medicine Hospital prove that 20% of patients contaminated with Omicron suffer from diarrhea. Uncool !
