Does anyone know what a very mild case of CV looks like?

This is an account of a confirmed case. Ill for 4 days but only mildly.

It's not easy to know, is it? I have read that in nearly half of cases there is some sort of digestive issue, and that not everyone even realises that they have symptoms.

I have been having what I can best describe as hot flushes - a bit like during the menopause. Not a fever, as they come and go, but when they are there I feel sweaty and a bit sick.

I have also had a bit of an upset stomach for a few days. It is nothing dramatic - a couple of Imodium is enough to keep it at bay, but it has been going on for a week or so with no obvious cause. I have a bit of a sore throat, but nothing to write home about. No cough, no serious aches and pains (apart from the ones I have usually, that is).

So, who knows? I would be pleased to think that this is a very mild dose, as if it is I have been spared the horrors that we have all dreaded, but until they sort out a test, I won't know.

I had an unusual sore throat in January. I rarely catch anything and this was unusual in itself but my throat felt 'blocked' and I couldn't swallow. I had to force myself to drink as it hurt and whereas the usual sore throat eases for a while while you are drinking every swallow hurt. Cold drinks, warm drinks or ice did not help. Strangely it was slightly easier to swallow food. This lasted for 6 or 7 days with a slight cough, though I avoided it when I could because it hurt my throat too. I had no temperature but I kept falling asleep.
I wish we did have an antibody test then we would all know for sure.

Not “mild” but this 60-year old doctor has recovered.

Just a little out of sorts was how I felt at first. Initially, I thought I probably had a bit of jet lag.
Three days previously I had flown back from New York, where I'd been attending a psychiatry conference
As I left for home, New York declared a state of emergency because of the coronavirus and I felt relieved that I was escaping — I even went to the airport four hours earlier than I needed to, I was so eager to get home.
I didn't really know what 'a state of emergency' meant, and I was worried they might stop the flights.
I arrived back on a Sunday morning and went to work on Monday.
By Tuesday morning, though, as well as feeling rather tired, I had started with a new dry cough. Yet it was so mild to begin with, I barely gave it a second thought and put it down to the 'cabin cough' you sometimes get after a long flight.
Soon after that, though, I quickly developed a terrible sore throat. I know some people say you don't always get a sore throat with corona, but I did — it felt as if someone had put knives in my throat. And then the high temperature hit. I was feverish and got the shakes.
It was then I began to think: could it be coronavirus? I think I knew it was right away — but, strangely, I didn't feel scared, as I have no underlying health problems. I'm fit and I walk a lot.
I realised going to work was out of the question and I looked online for advice, as I'd been out of the country for six days and things had moved on rapidly in that time. Even I wasn't sure what the latest guidance was
Unable to copy and paste more, but if you Google Dr Clare Gerada I think this was in the DM.

You’re being sensible vq everything I’ve read says what you describe could be a mild case. Hope it stays that way ?

Apparently, a lot of people will have no symptoms at all, so I suppose you could just have mild ones.
