Well, yes. And the symptoms have changed over time too.
Doesn't really change the point that other things can cause these symptoms too.
So people could equally have a runny nose and sore throat and think it's cold because they don't have a fever or cough when it's actually covid, or have a bad cough/fever which turns out to be a cold or flu and think it could be covid (such as people with that in the early days when they couldn't get a test).
With testing at the scale it's been it's clear a lot of people have positive tests but no/minor symptoms.
