The patients were asked to report on a wide variety of symptoms and also asked to report on any additional symptoms that were not widely recognized. Among these patients, nearly all — 96% — had had either a fever, cough, or shortness of breath and about 45% experienced all three. Cough was the most common symptom: 84% of surveyed patients said they had a cough, the team of CDC and state health officials found. Patients also experienced a wide variety of other symptoms including muscle pain, chills, fatigue and headache. A higher percentage of people who did not have to go to the hospital lost their sense of taste or smell.
