The main indication cluing us was that I thought I briefly lost my sense of smell, and his loss of smell has been more prolonged
Every single flu or cold ever has ALWAYS caused a loss of sense of smell because holy fuck, when your nose is stuffed up, you can't smell what a huge surprise. And since your sense of smell is an integral part in actually being able to TASTE food when you eat it, it has ALWAYS caused a loss in sense of taste. People like chicken noodle soup and tomato soup when they're sick because chicken noodle soup is INCREDIBLY salty and hits the taste buds, which don't rely on smell, and tomato soup, which is acidic and salty does the same on the tongue.
I just have to ask how old you are, because this bullshit about loss of smell/taste being unique to covid and not every single flu since the dawn of fucking MAN is gaslighting of the highest order.
