OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

It also obviously matters if the people who are getting this a second time, if that is the case, show any symptoms or have complications. Always a chance that you catch it again, but your body itself is basically immune to it but just acts as a carrier to deliver to others. I mean, still not a good thing, but not necessarily an OMG round 2 here we come scenario.
 
I guess there is a simple way to find out if this is a over reaction or under reaction to this crisis.

Denmark versus Sweden. Denmark, on lockdown. Sweden, life goes on as normal.

Sweden refuses to lockdown the country in 'huge experiment' on coronavirus

Unlike Denmark, which both shut schools and kindergartens, and where any gathering of more than 10 people is banned, much of life in Sweden remains unchanged

For now it is too early to say how the pandemic will play out. Sweden has 2,806 confirmed cases of infection, which at 281 cases per million people puts it below Denmark and Norway, and just ahead of the U.K.

After Wednesday’s surge in Stockholm, it has recorded 66 deaths, which at 6.5 deaths per million inhabitants, remains below that of locked-down Denmark (7.3) and only fractionally above that of the U.K. (6.2).

If Sweden does as well as its locked down neighbours, I think its fair to say that the reaction has been a bit of a over reaction. If it does significantly worse, it can be said that their response, and my belief that this is a over reaction, is wrong.

I guess we shall see.

Does anyone know of a resource that says how quickly it comes on and how it starts. I know I read it somewhere but we have a ton of pages of this so just hoping someone can help a girl out.

How quickly you get symptoms? Meaning after you are exposed? The incubation period where you have and show no symptoms is variable but it can be up to 14 days. It can start in many different ways but usually with some of the classic symptoms like fatigue, new cough, trouble breathing, fever, etc. Have been cases where it came on as a sore throat, runny nose, ear pain, stomach upset, etc. And there have been relatively asymptomatic cases as well.
 
Just trying to monitor my little dude. He gets congested from foods sometimes so I’m trying to be vigilant in Looking out for issues.
 
With regards to the incubation period, it is true that you can show symptoms up to 2 weeks but that is exceedingly rare. The mean incubation period is 5.1 days with people also having periods as low as 2 days.
