I’ve had this strange “cold” for over two weeks now.

Runny nose, some coughing but not dry cough and no increase in temp. Is it a mild case of Corona? A cold isn’t supposed to last this long.

Oh shut up. Colds, allergies can last for months...

Runny nose is not a COVID-19 symptom.

It would be nearly impossible right now to not suspect every little ache and pain, in OP's defense.

Similar here. I've had what feels like my allergy symptoms but on overdrive for the last 3 weeks. No noticeable fever. I was nervous at first b/c I might be more susceptible to the virus due to asthma and having had pneumonia twice. Fortunately I work from home already, but the idea of going to the grocery store, etc., is kinda scary.

R4 sounds like we could have it. We’ve been told most people don’t get it bad.

Sounds like allergies or hayfever to me.

R6 I never get either.

No fever, no COVID.

Runny nose Can be a symptom. Many things CAN be a symptom. It is NOT just a dry cough and a fever even though these do seem to present as the most likely symptoms. My Dr here in London said he has seen all sorts of symptoms from this. We spoke last week as he believes that I had it. He thinks he has it and is in isolation. My symptoms were terrible vomiting and nausea, a bad headache, sniffles and only a mild fever that came and went. No tests and only for those in severe distress in ICU. He has a patient on a ventilator that came in two weeks ago in perfect health and then got what they thought was a mild cold. We do not know enough about this virus yet to keep publicly announcing only a small spectrum of symptoms. Because of this many cases are going unnoticed he thinks. Best to be safe and stay home. Many of us will get this and it will be fine. Be well and rest.

I've had the same as R4. A co-worker with whom I was in close contact has had classic symptoms for almost three weeks on and off.
