Someone in my family was told they had covid a week ago. Main symptom? Vomiting.

That's not even a symptom of covid - it's a symptom of flu.

The flu and covid are respiratory illnesses, never heard of anyone vomiting from it.

Symptoms from covid and influenza are almost exactly the same, even not having a taste. You can look them up on CDC site.

Where the Wuhan virus and the flu have the same symptoms is mostly because of the fact that they're both respiratory illnesses. The Wuhan virus is definitely worse in a lot of ways. It would be wrong to gloss over that it's very bad news, but the lockdown panic is entirely unjustified.

I've had the flu twice and both times I experienced vomiting 🤷‍♂️

I don't think I've ever not vomited when sick, courtesy of all the damn nasal drainage. It's always the same. Feel tired and overly hungry, post nasal drip begins, feel tired, vomit on night two or three, get all the other symptoms, then just deal with it until it fucks off.

No, that's viral gastroenteritis. The flu is strictly a respiratory infection. If someone vomits due to a respiratory infection it is purely incidental.

You're right to point out the flu is a respiratory infection, because a lot of people wrongly use the term for other conditions that aren't the flu at all. But even so, you can have the flu and have vomiting as a symptom. The virus does a number on the body, and the resulting toxins and stress can cause all sorts of problems.

Gonna be that medical research paper-reading nerd saying akshuallyyyy here, COVID only spreads via the respiratory system. It's a tissue inflammation/blood disease which irritates blood vessels. Now, lung tissue includes blood vessels, which is why it has lung issues as a common symptom. It's also why it's such a mild infection in almost everyone; you have a TON of blood vessels in your body, and it takes an incredibly weak immune system for a plurality of your blood vessels to fall prey to the virus before the body silently kills it off.

Globalist sensationalism was only part of why it was so "bad" earlier this year. The other reason doctors freaked out was that they initially horribly misdiagnosed COVID's attack vector as its primary infection site.

If you look at the symptoms, they have been extended to include every ailment you can have - headaches, congestion, sore throat.... the list goes on and on.

Blood loss from gunshot wounds are one of the deadlier symptoms of covid

i did this months ago: i looked up in Google covid + every major organ of the body: liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, stomach, skin, and another search for covid + body parts like hands, toes, feet, nose, eyes, etc.

everything search returned showed covid symptoms related to every major organ and every body part except the spleen.

That's weird since my spleen just now tested positive for double-no-takes-backsies Covid.

Nice name btw haha

It's not a symptom of the flu. Vomiting is a symptom of Acute Viral Gastroenteritis. That is caused by the Norovirus or Rotavirus.

No coronavirus infection effects the gastrointestinal system.
