With omicron now the dominant strain in the U.S. and cases rapidly rising across Illinois and the country, experts say there are some symptoms that appear prominent with the new COVID variant and differ from what many came to expect with the delta variant.
But some experts suggest the symptoms could depend on vaccination status and underlying health conditions.
In New York, where cases continue to surge, an ER doctor who became known on social media during the pandemic for his documentation of the battle against COVID, reported breakthrough cases he has seen in those with booster shots experienced"mild" symptoms.."Also some fatigue, maybe some muscle pain. No difficulty breathing. No shortness of breath. All a little uncomfortable, but fine.
For those with Johnson & Johnson who were not boosted, he wrote the patients"felt horrible," with fevers, fatigue, coughs and shortness of breath, but did not require hospitalization or oxygen."Almost every single patient that I’ve taken care of that needed to be admitted for Covid has been unvaccinated," Spencer wrote."Every one with profound shortness of breath. Every one whose oxygen dropped when they walked. Every one needing oxygen to breath regularly.
