OK, I'm not a doctor, but I do have several friends who lost their sense of smell and taste for several weeks. A subset of them were tested and came back positive. So, is the argument that we gave a strain of flu that can affect taste and smell?
That is an interesting point that I’ve thought of myself. Perhaps it’s an altered flu strain. I believe it IS something, just not what it’s all hyped to be. I also had “it” and totally lost my taste and smell for 2 weeks. Never happened before.
I'm in my 40s, had the flu many times, but never lost my taste or smell. I honestly haven't heard of others either. It could be that people just didn't talk about it. How often have you lost yours?
Interesting. Every time I can remember. Another interesting thing I’ve noticed, I have not gotten sick including the flu at all since 2015, the year I got out of the Marines and stopped getting mandatory flu shot. ? coincidence? Idk but the more I dig and research the less I trust anything anyone in a position of “authority” has to say. Especially if they look like little half human half rat
I stopped getting flu shots many years ago, but I would still get a cold/flu every winter. This winter I uppped my vitamic C, D and Zinc (always took some, but now take more), and I drink a lot of orange juice, and so far I've been healthy this winter. Of course it could be that everyone else is so germ-paranoid that there is less actual crap in the air and on surfaces at work, etc. I don't mind that part of the scandemic, it's nice that people are finally washing their hands. But yeah, I don't trust the flu vaccine.
I've been saying COVID is fake from the start but I did lose my sense of smell after being around a COVID positive person. My sense of smell was accompanied by ZERO fever, ZERO cough, ZERO congestion...just a sudden loss of my sense of smell for an entire month! I was starting to worry it would never come back but it eventually did.
Right, that's what I'm talking about. I think there is a virus, I don't know if it's actual COVID, and I don't think it's any more dangerous than the flu.
Not everybody gets the same symptoms, some get none at all. Fatigue is actually the most common symptom. I thought I’d got it last April as I was feeling really run down after work, then I realised it was just caffeine withdrawal as I hadn’t had any coffee that day. Had one and 10 mins later was fine.

With a false positive rate of up to 20% and at worse 5-7% there are going to be cases like that
The flu has messed with my taste and smell for as long as I can remember. Is this a new idea or experience for people?

That was weird.
