Very interesting. Thank you B.C.
We found that 99 patients (48.5%) presented to the hospital with digestive symptoms as their chief complaint. Patients with digestive symptoms had a significantly longer time from onset to admission than patients without digestive symptoms (9.0 days vs. 7.3 days). Patients with digestive symptoms had a variety of manifestations, such as anorexia (83 [83.8%] cases), diarrhea (29 [29.3%] cases), vomiting (8 [0.8%] cases), and abdominal pain (4 [0.4%] cases). In 7 cases there were digestive symptoms but no respiratory symptoms. As the severity of the disease increased, digestive symptoms became more pronounced. Patients without digestive symptoms were more likely to be cured and discharged than patients with digestive symptoms (60% vs. 34.3%). Laboratory data revealed no significant liver injury in this case series.

I wonder if dehydration plays a role in disease severity - especially as a previous post has stated that kidneys are damaged. I also wonder if this is one of the reasons the young doctors in Wuhan and Italy and elsewhere were so badly affected. They all work til they are exhausted and it is very difficult to drink when you have the problems of taking PPE off and on (and also not being able to replace it frequently).
