I had the same thing - I was making something spicy and couldn't understand why it had absolutely no taste. This was just as Covid was taking off in Europe and I was quarantined at home after a trip in Austria. I had about 3 days without any taste whatsoever before news began to circulate that loss of taste/smell was a common symptom and that's when I became one of the first couple of hundred in the country I live in to test positive for Covid.
