That's exactly what I worked out. I'm sure I had the virus last Mar / Apr. I was really ill for 12 days and my lungs were wrecked for 6 months, but I was taking stacks of zinc and I never lost my smell/taste. I looked up zinc deficiency and found loss of smell / taste so I reckoned that the body was consuming it's stores fighting the disease. My sisters were ill at the same time. One of them specifically told me that she lost her sense of taste.
