So much less, much higher variation.

So what we're seeing is even if you just go and fever and cough, a significant proportion of people will have COVID without them symptoms.

And then other symptoms are a whole myriad of things from fatigue, myalgia, headache, diarrhea, loss of appetite.

Some people will have sore throat, 3% to 20%.

And then there's some other things, tachycardia, anosmia, conjunctivitis, like your eyes are burning.

So there's a huge variation in the symptoms.

And I think this is what's making this such a...

Not just not an interesting, interesting is the word, but a difficult disease to deal with because it's spreading rapidly because half the people are asymptomatic.

Some people have symptoms that are not consistent with what you think COVID is and they may not be tested or are let out back into going back out into the workplace and infecting other people.

So what we're saying is in this current situation, anybody with symptoms that looks like an acute respiratory infection should be tested for COVID because they've got a chance they actually do have it.

Can I put you on the spot here?

I think this is a really important issue.

And I've been speaking to David Noonan here.

We've been working in the centre and we think it's the information that's out there is not helpful.

So one of the things is we're putting together today the whole symptoms with the confidence intervals.

And what we want to do is put out a really nice infographic out there so people can go, here's the image.

And here's all the different symptoms.

And I think we should do that fairly urgently.

And you've got BMJ infographic people there, haven't you?

We've got people here.
