So sinuses, extended yard work, dealing with sequestering, and stress.
Sounds about right for symptoms in my house.

CDC: Our six new symptoms are: headache, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell
Harvey Korman: you said headache twice
CDC: I like it.

there’s going to be an autopsy on the CDC in a year and if I had a dollar to bet, it’s a sure thing that trumpkins has reached into there like every other agency he can get his tiny hands on and tampered with it, irs, treasury, noaa, fda, fcc, everything
I am sure there still are a few great people there just trying to do their jobs the best they can but are terrified of him and his minions
and now we can’t haven’t cheap, widely available “at home” antibody testing because just like masks initially the CDC “aren’t convinced” and “give false sense of security”

At our local farmers market, where they have responded admirably to the new normal, controlling the line coming in, insisting on masks, reminding people to maintain distance, etc., there was a sign with a list of symptoms: Difficulty Breathing, Can’t Keep Fluids Down, Dehydration, Confusion, and Other Serious Symptoms. I was wondering if just one symptom was enough, because I’m confused so much of the time.

My wife and I had had ever one of these symptoms during what could have been the worst flu of our lives the last week of February. The coughing wheezing at night made me scared to go to sleep laying down. The kids had zero symptoms.
The timing was early enough that we didn’t believe it could be Covid (no one in our region had it), but late enough that people were discouraged from going in to get checked. There weren’t tests anyways. Even now, our doctors think it was just flu (via video visits).
I suspect it might not be flu, but the dates just don’t work. So so much for using symptoms to decide diddly.

It seems we learn more about the virus every week. I’m more interested in the fact that the virus causes widespread blood clotting (and that some of the other symptoms may be related to that.)

Same here; started Feb 17 and lasted almost three weeks. Several neighbors had it as well. Wife was hospitalized for two nights and tested repeatedly for flu. No staff ever said the C word. We assumed it was a bad cold (I.e. another uncurable coronavirus).
