Anosmia, the loss of smell, is a key indicator of a bug going around. Smell returns in about 9 days.
However, no one I know who has had Anosmia has tested positive for COVID.
The COVID tests are also a joke. People with all the supposed symptoms test negative and people who are not sick at all test positive.
Most lose sense of smell with a cold or a sinus infection and loss of taste goes hand in hand with it. Maybe everyone has had covid many times in their lives but just didn’t have a fauci around to tell them how bad off they were.
