Quite severe headaches and tiredness, fatigue
If they don’t have this combination of symptoms, quite severely, it’s highly unlikely that their symptoms are actually related [to coronavirus].
We’ve also shown some negative signs in our app
So if you do have a runny nose, or congestion, or sneezing, that’s really a sign you absolutely do not have Covid.

Exposure among non-attendees can multiply exponentially

Speaking at a Senate hearing
Vaccine, late second, third quarter 2021
Face masks are more guaranteed to protect from coronavirus than a vaccine.
if all Americans embraced masks for six to 12 weeks, they would bring the pandemic under control.
I am going to comment as the CDC director that face masks, these face masks are the most important powerful public health tool we have
These actually, we have clear scientific evidence they work, and they are our best defence
I might even go far as to say this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against Covid, than when I take a Covid vaccine
because the Immunogenicity may be 70 per cent, and if I don’t get an immune response the vaccine’s not going to protect me
