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 :)
I received $1000 for being a teacher. I work at a preschool, every employee got $1000. So dumb.
