But Covid-19 has affected far more people. The most common symptoms of Covid-19 are fever, tiredness and a dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, sore throat or diarrhoea and, rarely, a runny nose. Some have reported temporarily losing their sense of taste and smell. A high percentage of sufferers are believed to be asymptomatic, possibly around 40 per cent, according to estimates. When people do develop symptoms they can be severe. The elderly and those with underlying medical problems such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness but these can also develop in young, seemingly healthy patients. Recently, a mysterious condition affecting children that may be linked to the virus has been reported across the world. Clusters of children and adolescents have required admission to intensive care units with a multisystem inflammmatory condition that has some features similar to those of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. Hundreds of children are understood to have been affected by this, with some dying as a result. Some researchers suggest it could be the paediatric version of a cytokine storm, which is what happens when the immune system goes into overdrive.
