COVID-19, the flu, and a cold can feel a lot alike, but there are some clues that may help you tell them apart. 🔍
The flu usually hits suddenly, while COVID-19 and colds tend to come on more gradually. A new loss of taste or smell is more common with COVID-19, while a runny nose or sore throat is more typical of a cold. 🤧
