    This document compares COVID-19, the seasonal flu, and the common cold based on their level of infectivity, incubation period, symptoms, prevalence in children, and availability of vaccines. COVID-19 is more contagious than the flu or common cold, with viral shedding occurring before and after symptoms appear. Its symptoms include fever, cough, loss of smell and taste, and shortness of breath.

Common colds have the shortest incubation at 2-3 days and cause sneezing, sore throat, and stuffy
