What should I do if I have "atypical" symptoms?
An expert who had been treating patients with new coronary pneumonia for a long time in Wuhan told reporters that "atypical" symptoms are not unique to this round of outbreaks. In Wuhan, there are also many patients with decreased taste, often reflecting a lack of appetite and diarrhea. It was just that the vast majority of patients in the wards were severe and critically ill. Compared with other serious symptoms, these minor discomforts were less prominent.
