My sense of smell has been absolutely dogshit ever since I experienced COVID almost two years ago now (and I've only ever had it once.) My symptoms were extremely mild, but my weakened sense of smell just hasn't improved more than slightly. Honestly, I'd say even after all this time, it's only at about 70% compared to pre-COVID exposure.
fuck, I have covid right now and I just realized I didn't really smell the ginger yesterday when I made my tea, and now I went around, can't smell ginger, soy sauce, hell a deep fucking inhale from pure vinegar barely comes through.
