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. 🤧

Keep in mind, this chart is a resource, not a diagnosis. If you have trouble breathing or your symptoms aren't improving, contact a doctor.

And if you do have a cold or the flu, some home remedies may help ease your symptoms. Comment "REMEDY" and we'll DM you 15 to try. 💬
