Seeing more reports that include GI distress and vomiting.

This is a tragic, tragic story. What's interesting is that more of the later cases that have come out talk about vomiting, but the early studies and papers barely mentioned GI symptoms. They focused mostly on fever, dry cough and fatigue. Then this morning Ohio released a statement saying GI symptoms should be considered, that many of their patients were presenting with symptoms like vomiting.

The word needs to get out that patients with this symptom can't be excluded based on those early studies from China that claimed very, very few COVID-19 patients presented with GI distress.
