Losing sense of taste can also be a early sign of depression. I had that (long before covid) sign and it gradually improved as I fixed up my life.

I'm very skeptical of long covid claims, I think those are most likely just side effects of the social experiment we just run, socially isolating the entire population and stressing them out for a year.
