Do you have a sense of whether you can distinguish between the five endemic named coronaviruses?
And whether you can distinguish between those and rhinoviruses / adenoviruses / etc?
There was another poster on that thread who said they were able to smell colds. I wonder if this is just extremely common and / or if we can all be trained to do it like with wine?
> From that observation I infer masks are effective at eliminating virus transmission, which is quite extraordinary given the virus is so small.
This inference doesn't really make sense to me. I bet putting a cigarette in your mouth, or a chopped onion in front of your face, would achieve the same frustration of this ability.
