I've had bad colds where I almost lost my sense of taste. I always cured it by going to Del Taco and eating a bunch of spicy food. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78919163 I'm wondering if this has always "been a thing" that we just ignored because it always came along with a cold, and we considered it no big deal until this year's COVID brainwashing. :DOCSRBAFFLED::redblueLED::DONTBEAPANDEMICS: Only you can stop the fake pandemic for yourself, no one will ever tell you the pandemic is over.

Yeah, they are using "losing taste and smell" as a fear-mongering brainwashing gaslight to make people think they have the fake COVID virus.

Yes, I've been talking with family about how the news acts like it's a new symptom that nobody's ever had before. Hogwash! Anytime I've ever been really sick & conjested I've lost taste & smell off. Another scare tactic for the stupid. The day the governments admit Ufo's,the end is near. |

POLL: Have you ever lost the senses of TASTE or SMELL during a COLD or FLU, or other NON-COVID disease? Quoting: Butch DeFeo What if we always lost taste and smell during a cold or flu, and never noticed? I think this virus isn’t completely new. It was not long after the presidential election when Obama got his second term (Late January 2013) that I had the worst virus I have ever had in my life. Kids got it too but much less severe. I’ll never forget it. I was sick for three weeks. I even went to ER When it first hit because it felt like my head was going to explode and I had fever of 103. They tested me for flu and strep, etc...all negative. They commented on how red my face was. Then they sent me home and I later developed shortness of breath, dizziness, and lost my sense of smell/taste for weeks after that.. i don’t mean I was too stuffy to smell things. I mean it was gone except a faint, weird odor that I can’t explain. Everything was the same distorted scent or nothing at all. It also affected my hearing for awhile. I lost 15-20 pounds and even quit smoking simply because i was too weak to bother and nothing had any taste. And I’ll tell you, I was never the same after that. Recurring shingles, overreactive immune system. My take on it? It was a predecessor of this virus, maybe a test run. I’ve been exposed a few times to COVID19 and haven’t gotten it. I’m hoping I never will. Last Edited by Mizzree on 12/24/2020 10:22 PM Dum spiro, spero... ~Mizzree |

I had a flu 3 years ago - Feb/March of 2017 - with all the symptoms they apply to COVID - fever, aches, coughing, respiratory problems (I thought I was going to get pneumonia). I lost all sense of smell and NEVER GOT IT BACK. I still have very little sense smell. I was in my early 60s and was sick about 3 weeks. I had another bad flu the next year - I went through a grocery bag full of tissues! I can't see that COVID is any different than the flu. Plenty of people, esp elderly and compromised people, die of the flu every single year world wide. With the exact same symptoms. Only they're not REPORTING FLU ANYMORE. So what is the difference between what I had and COVID? |

I don’t recall for sure :-\ I don’t think I had a flu vaccine that year but it’s possible. I didn’t get out much back then but my ex was a pilot and was in countless airports. He was the only one not sick. Last Edited by Mizzree on 12/24/2020 10:47 PM Dum spiro, spero... ~Mizzree |
