I live in Japan and getting super sick with something is like a rite of passage. Different strains of viruses here. I will say that ever since my wife was hit by a car in 2019, she had a concussion and lost her sense of taste and smell. I had two online friends say that they had temporarily lost their senses too for a few months. In doing research on how to help my wife, I have found online testimonials from people going back a decade of getting really sick with some strange, horrible virus and experiencing the same loss of smell and taste. So what I am saying is, such viruses have been around all along, so what is "novel" about this "novel coronavirus" is unclear. It's mostly just a Frankenstein chimera virus cobbled together from various viruses, aka "gain of function."
How long has it been? My sister in Arizona came down with "Covid/WuFlu/5G illness" in January. The doctor offered her ivemectin and she refused. Got over it without anything special. But she did lose her sense of taste and smell, and about a month ago she said that everything started smelling rotten to her and she lost her appetite. I've read about that as well, going back to posts pre-2000.
The thing with B12 is that this is only for people who were born with a natural lack of B12 at their time of birth. If that doesn't apply to you, then B12 will just be good for energy levels but not really smelling. Serrapeptase is an herbal medicine known for healing scar tissue in the brain, and is touted as something that can restore one's sense of smell and taste. So is alpha lipouic acid. Those two came up quite a lot in my research in the loss of senses due to concussions. It makes me think that whatever this illness is, it attacks the same part of the brain my wife was injured in. She was riding her bike against the flow of traffic and was hit by a car. She wasn't wearing a helmet. I'll always regret not driving her that morning because it was snowing a bit (although melting and the ground wasn't frozen). Mr. Dickbrain was probably late for work and made a turn without checking his blind spot on the opposite side of the street.
