Anosmia: “Taste and smell disorders send hundreds of thousands of Americans to the doctor each year. Fortunately, for most people, anosmia is a temporary nuisance caused by a severely stuffy nose from a cold. Once the cold runs its course, a person's sense of smell returns.“ (from webmd)
I had the flu a few weeks back and lost my smell and taste (it’s a super weird experience, I normally have an abnormally good sense of smell)
It’s not exclusive to Covid :)
Did you eat a lot of Kraft caramels? I did one time when I was a child. I couldn't taste food for hours. Try eating peas and potatoes that have no taste. That was rough enough that I still remember it over 50 years later.
Also excessive alcohol use can dull your senses. I was told many years ago that was the reason drunks came in the store and bought so much hot sauce. They needed to douse their food in hot sauce so it would have some taste.
You asked for an explanation, and I gave you a couple. Here's another one. Any illness that gives you a stuffy nose affects your sense of smell, which in turn affects your sense of taste. The classic experiment is feeding a piece of apple to a blindfolded subject while holding an onion under their nose.
I didn’t get stuffy either, except some at night. But I was having to blow my nose a lot, I probably blew my senses right out 😂
What were your symptoms?
