I think my partner (a front-line worker) and I got Covid earlier in the year. We both had "typical" flu symptoms, but one thing really stands out - that we thought everything tasted terribly bland, and shockingly, our Grey Poupon mustard tasted absolutely disgusting. More of a weapon than a condiment. At the time they hadn't talked about losing the sense of smell with Covid yet. But "Hindsight is 2020!" Because we definitely both had that. When it came out in the news that losing smell was a symptom, we were already back to normal health and gave each other knowing glances and simultaneously said, "hmm..." What we both had made us often comment over meals that everything was like eating Mac 'n Cheese with our noses plugged. Try that. You'll be surprised. You won't eat all of it unless you drown it in salt first. Thankfully once we got better, the mustard tasted like it's supposed to again. I'm a fan of mustards and pepper sauces. That really freaked me out. The part that sucks is that apparently getting Covid doesn't stop you from getting it again 3 months later. Thank Gawd we already know about booster shots, and that's exactly how we're doing it.
