I’m currently getting over a (non-COVID) sinus infection, and I lost my sense of taste and smell completely for a while. It was ridiculous when the powers that be first raised that as a symptom supposedly unique to COVID. For as long as I can remember, if I get anything from a cold to the flu I always experience a period where I can’t smell or taste anything. That’s just normal when your sinuses are clogged, and when there’s also a coronavirus blocking certain receptors.
These people have been experts at convincing us that common occurrences are somehow “unprecedented.” Similar to how every gust of wind, rain drop, lack of rain drops, etc. is now labeled as “extreme weather.”
AMEN!!
You gotta wonder - where have people been living all these years of their lives?
I’m 58. EVERY last year of my life, I’ve gotten a bug or two.. or three..
I have allergies. I have slight occasional asthma. Like you say, when we get colds, stuffy noses, sore throats, etc... yeah, we lose some sense of taste and smell. Why are people acting as though this is some flesh-eating disease that will kill you in a matter of hours without the magic serum?
It’s a PART OF LIFE on this planet. We get sick. We were given IMMUNE SYSTEMS to handle most of this stuff.
I’m really tired of politicians and people who idolize them trying to make getting sick illegal these days.
