Things are spinning by so fast it's easy to miss the small stuff. Let's assume authenticity, why it still 'triggers' me is because it plays into the narrative of everything being C19. Like another poster correctly pointed out, we are in danger of now normalising the referring to any and all coronaviruses - including the COMMON FUCKING COLD - as C19, because that's what a Lab test or a crooked physician TELLS us it is. Even 'getting cute' with it by the childish nickname 'the rona' (I fucking DETEST hearing that). And in that regard, for God's sake we better start listening to ourselves, just barely 18 months ago we would have known better than this shit. In relation to the taste and smell symptom, dentists are raising concerns about cases of 'mask mouth', one of the characteristics being oral thrush, its associated symptoms, and that it's a contagious pathogen. That was buried away in the most sepulchral corner of the news cycle, but I picked up on it for one, thankfully.
