re: Study shows that 49 percent of Covid patients started with GI symptoms

That study was conducted weeks ago during the Wuhan outbreak. The diarrhea could have been caused by eating bats.
SARS also caused gastrointestinal issues in a small percentage of infected individuals. It’s happened before with a coronavirus.

Gross.

What if 49% of people just routinely have these kind of issues on a given day?

I read this as I had diarrhea

For those of us that have diarrhea everyday these are scary times.

It's hard to believe a study that can't do their math correctly.

I did....pretty much at the same time as sore throat...then cough, fever shortness of breath, chest tightness, extreme fatigue. This was the end of January...

You can have more than 1 symptom at a time

Sounds like a lot of our OT posters need some Metamucil.

4 out of 99 is 4% not 0.4% just like 8 of 99 is 8% not 0.8%. A scientific study should be accurate about their numbers.

It's hard to believe that you don't realize that a single patient may have multiple symptoms.
What I find a little off is the fact that 83 of 99 patients in the study are anorexic.

I never said they didn't.

Yeah, editor should have picked that up

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)
AKA 14% of the total study. Don't give people reasons to stupidly buy more TP than they already are.

Yeah he divided 99 by 8 and added the % without moving the decimal. Rookie move.

Ah... I see what you are saying now.
I still stand by the second part of my reply. I find it strange that 83.83% of subjects in the study had anorexia.

I was peeing out of my arse most of last week with chills and body aches. I went to urgent care on bluebonnet and said I didn’t have the flu. They just gave me something to take for the diarrhea.

I think they are using anorexic in a different way here. I'm assuming they don't mean the psychological fear of gaining weight which is the anorexia we think of when we hear the word. I'm assuming they mean the malnutrition symptoms such as low vitamin counts which would normally show up with severe GI symptoms.
