Are you having issues with your smell/taste? A german virologist talked to symptomatic patients and found that most patients were stating that they lost smell/taste for days.
"Almost all infected people we interviewed, and this applies to a good two thirds, described a loss of smell and taste lasting several days."

- war1025 7y agoI have a terrible sense of smell to begin with. I always wonder what people with good senses of smell experience on a daily basis. But I can generally taste things, so this is good to know.
- lebuffon 7y agoLoss of taste is caused by loss of smell, is my understanding. That is consistent with the colds that cause significant nasal congestion causing a loss of the ability to smell and therefore taste as well. I have read that a few of the "common cold" infections are also caused by different species of "corona virus" so this is perhaps not too surprising.
