I don't wear mask for the same reason I'm not going to call you 'they' or 'them'. Your delusion is not defining my reality. Thank you.

I've never lost my sense of smell like that - ever. I never had my nose run, no sore throat, no technical fever. I felt strange, not sick. My temp would go up 1/2 a degree and came back down. My hip joint hurt bad.
My older girls all had these exact symptoms too. Very strange.
In the last 20 years or so I've had a cold or flu once in a while. The bad thing is it usuallu happens around thanksgiving or Christmas and I lose my since of smell and taste for a couple of days so I can't taste a great meal. Certainly not unique to covid. It's just a cold or flu.
But I never had the bad cold- just the smell and taste loss. My spouse had more of a cold, and after every time they ate, they would sweat and feel weird afterwards. They never lost their sense of smell or taste however
Losing your sense of smell can be a zinc deficiency.
I was already supplementing zinc. One of my older girls was doing protocol level doses of zinc for another issue. We both lost our smell after feeling a little strange, not sick. I started smelling a burnt, metallic smell before I lost it.
Are you absorbing the zinc?
Do you all eat the same diet? Does it include...grains? Peanut butter? These things block the absorption of zinc. Low stomach acid or malabsorption in the intestines are other obstacles in the way of absorbing zinc. How much zinc do you consume daily? How much were you supplementing with? Is anyone you are talking about diabetic? Any recent history of antibiotic use?
All of these things matter when it comes to zinc and a possible deficiency.
My kid was doing 70 mg/day. I was doing 15/mg day. Yes we eat the same diet. It's important not to take your zinc supplement with dairy or calcium. I have fixed low stomach acid in the past with celery juice cleanse. I really suspect my kid has it, but she only juiced once. I've got some Betaine and need to get her in the habit of trading it before meals.
I think the zinc supplementing is what kept us from getting the traditional cold symptoms. My kid was also ding 2g/day of Vit C. We just lost smell for about 10 days and had that bad hip pain. Weird.
My nephew said the same thing. He actually said he has had worse colds; with this he was actually able to sleep because of the lack of nasal discharge
My kid said, "is this it?!!!".
I'm like, do you want to be sicker? Is this not dramatic enough?
I'd like to imagine if the propaganda machine had worked another way and we were all conspiracy theorists for suggesting that people are losing their sense of smell for 10 days. The CCP is trying something out man! The CDC could deny anything was happening and gaslight us all the other way.
