I get that loss of smell is a symptom of COVID-19, but what’s so special about 1 AM?
Anecdotal, but possibly related.

Likely s/signal/single/
Nope, a signal symptom is a thing: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/signal+symp... "A symptom that is premonitory of an impending condition such as the aura that precedes an attack of epilepsy or migraine."
Loss of smell was mainly how I suspected I had a Covid - later confirmed with an antibody test. Stay safe people.

Very minor. Aside from loss of smell for a month my wife and I had no significant symptoms. I felt pretty exhausted but those weeks in NYC were so crazy that it’s hard to say what was Covid and what was ambient stress. My kids had positive antibody tests but never had symptoms. We were very fortunate.

> signal symptom What's the difference between a 'signal symptom' and a normal 'symptom'? Aren't all symptoms signals?
I think "signal" meant characteristic or something like that.

Exactly what that trend suggests, most likely. Nigeria has 245k (!!) tuberculosis deaths a year, so it's entirely plausible IMO that they could fail to notice an uncontrolled epidemic of a different pneumonia-causing disease.
Interestingly enough, Japan is chalking up success in containment of COVID to its contact tracing system originally developed for TB: https://asiatimes.com/2020/06/japans-contact-tracing-method-...
