About 15 percent of the Covid patients had diarrhea.

Edited as first article cited played games with the numbers

Study was published in American Journal of Gastroenterology.

“ In the present study, 204 patients with COVID-19 and full laboratory, imaging, and historical data were analyzed. The average age was 54.9 years (SD +15.4), including 107 men and 97 women. We found that 99 patients (48.5%) presented to the hospital with digestive symptoms as their chief complaint. Patients with digestive symptoms had a significantly longer time from onset to admission than patients without digestive symptoms (9.0 days vs. 7.3 days). Patients with digestive symptoms had a variety of manifestations, such as anorexia (83 [83.8%] cases), diarrhea (29 [29.3%] cases), vomiting (8 [0.8%] cases), and abdominal pain (4 [0.4%] cases). In 7 cases there were digestive symptoms but no respiratory symptoms. As the severity of the disease increased, digestive symptoms became more pronounced. Patients without digestive symptoms were more likely to be cured and discharged than patients with digestive symptoms (60% vs. 34.3%)”

Also likely to cause these symptoms:eating bats and pangolins.

I noticed that too. No wonder they found shite. They went looking for it!

BTW, the common range is 3-10%

This one doesn’t have the same affinity for the gut as SARS/MERS

For them to come out of left field and say it’s 50% is....questionable.

Edited the Op to link the study.

Diarrhea specifically was 29 percent for the 99 that had GI symptoms. Other GI symptoms raised the number

there is very little reliable information and it's just open season for "Science" to start illuminating society

about the only really reliable information is the genetic-based information you linked a few days ago

years after this, when the virus is a world-destroying page in history, scientists can give us real information about it.

I still think my son already had this illness.

Two weeks ago he started feeling fatigued and kinda weak. Especially at the end of the school day. I could barely understand him when he talked and he judged wanted to lay around.

Few days later he was having stomach aches and had a few bouts of diarrhea.

About the same time a cough started.

By Wednesday night he spiked a 102.5 fever and the coughed worsened. The cough got so nasty we worried about going to the emergency room

By Friday evening, he was fine. Lingering wet cough lasted for a few days.

Flu test was negative.

Last night and this morning, I've been having some wicked nausua. So much so that it kept me awake. I feel like arse. No cold like symptoms though.

Am I going to die?

Yep. It was especially annoying when people were trying to tout preliminary papers not even crossing peer review as evidence. Research is a very slow burn.

Scientists only go in a lab and save the world in a crucial hour or two in the movies.

I mean hell, chloroquine’s efficacy wasn’t just found. The Chinese found it to have surprising efficacy in vivo and published it the first week of February.
