Offer Upgrade  User ID: 62193362  United States12/31/2020 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi everyone.Before I get to my question,this is my first ever post on here:).So,I've heard all kinds of stories about and from people claiming they lose their sense of taste and smell,and that the CDC says that is what differentiates the Coronavirus from all other viruses and illnesses.However,I have read a few posts on here where a few people say that it is also very common to have a loss of smell or taste when someone has the flu.I have been looking all over online,but cannot find any health sources stating that to be true.So my question is this,is the CDC fibbing to us and giving us the runaround saying that only the Coronavirus can make you have a loss of taste and smell?I would like to know some you guys' thoughts on this.Thanks.  Gary Hartman |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79149754 United States12/31/2020 10:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just had a mild case, mainly just body aches and tiredness. I got really worried about three days into symptoms when I realized so couldn’t smell or taste anything. My symptoms really didn’t get any worse after that, and even the smell/taste thing came back in a few days. I didn’t go get tested, figuring it wouldn’t make any difference unless I started having breathing problems and needed help. I’ve had the flu a couple of times before, but never lost my sense of smell or taste like this time. I self-isolated pretty well, and none of my family have had any symptoms so far. I’m at 15-days post onset now, so I think we’re ok. |

This could last for about a month. Otherwise, you show no symptoms of illness and you don't "feel" sick. No one around you would suspect you're sick. You breathe normally and your throat feels fine, but it's like a light switch was turned off on your sense of taste and smell. That's the difference. |

This is why I don't doubt the virus is real. It exists and it's unlike anything we've experienced before. Prior to that, anytime I was sick, I knew I was sick. This was just bizarre. Though the virus may indeed be real, it's nothing to panic over and certainly didn't require the societal destruction we're seeing now. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 79773715 United States12/31/2020 11:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Husband and I had Covid just after election. He coughed a lot and didn't loose taste or smell. I never coughed and lost taste and smell. Loss of smell is reported to be result of swelling and inflammation of a specific region in nasel passage. As an aside, husband did not consume zinc pre illness and was mildly ill for 3 days. Cough lasted a week. I had been taking 50mg zinc for months prior. Moments after realizing loss of smell and taste, I took ivermectin. Had smell and taste back in two days, feverish half a day, and never coughed. Ivermectin was the difference in my opinion. |

Couldn't taste or smell anything, other than that perfectly healthy. My daughter was having fun with that. Made him eat some nasty stuff. I don't doubt that it is real either, just not what it is that is being reported. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76654640 United States12/31/2020 11:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I used to get colds in my younger days I would lose my sense of taste and smell every time. I totally remember that and I'm surprised other people don't. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79836731 You didn't read the thread. It's not the same as with a normal cold. In this case, you don't "feel sick." You feel perfectly healthy without any congestion or soreness of throat. It's just that your sense of taste and smell have been "turned off." Nothing like the loss of smell and taste with a regular cold. |

Loss of smell is a 5G symptom as it is a neurological function. In fact, the loss of smell is an early sign of the neurological disease Alzheimer's. Covid has been blamed for many nonviral symptoms which is yet another reason to ignore the so called experts about the Covid Cold. Skin rashes, blood clots, etc are metabolic conditions due to inflammation - not a virus!! |

Regardless, it didn't last forever, and it has nothing to do with Alzheimer's in this case. Many people of many backgrounds experienced this. Within weeks, other members of their household followed suit. The original got his senses of taste and smell back a few weeks earlier than those later infected. It's clearly viral. If/when you experience it, you'll know. |
