I'm sure everyone has. But here is the real question:
In the past, when you had a cold or mild flu, was your sense of smell or taste normal as it usually is, or was it off (couldn't smell or taste the same)?
I honestly can't say one way or the other. I never thought about my sense of smell or taste when I had a cold. I just felt bad and dealt with it. I do know that I tasted cough syrup that tasted bad, but I don't remember ever smelling it. I don't specifically remember if my normal sense of smell was working or not, or my taste.
The reason I ask is that I am wondering about all the people who got "sick with Covid" and said their sense of taste or smell was gone.
Is this the way it USUALLY (or ALWAYS) is when one has a cold or flu? Or is this really abnormal and not what usually happens?
IOW: Is it possible that everyone reporting a loss of taste/smell is because the MEDIA bombarded us with that message, and so we paid attention (maybe for the first time ever) and noticed? Was it just a subliminal message that people were responding to?
Do we usually lose our sense of smell or taste, but this time we noticed because the media kept pushing that message?
I’m 60 years old I survived chickenpox measles and mumps. As a the child of an army NCO, I remember getting whole series of shots before deploying overseas multiple times. I’m guessing they were for local endemic diseases. I’ve never had a flu shot and I didn’t get the Covid vaccine. I’ve had flu like illness maybe twice in my life, the most recent being when my entire family and the entire family of the contractors building the new addition to our home all fell ill 1 by 1 until it ran through both families. In November 2019.
Nov 2019 is when the "plandemic" was released. Coincidence?
