Yes they try to make you feel like crap.

I have lost the taste of salt some,things just don't taste salty enough now.

But that's ok because they have said that to much salt might make you feel bad.

Wife and I had it over Labor Day weekend. Fully recovered. I can say the worst part of it was making me feel tired.

I talked to a guy.on a hiking trail who had had it. Upscale Mexican National looked to be about 50. Said he’d been hospitalized with it but that his wife had suffered only mild symptoms.

IIRC had was about two months post-episode, said he was still short of breath. Also reported symptoms like you, said anything with alcohol in it tasted rancid.

I work for a fairly large organization, close to 1000 employees. New covid policies come out weekly. It's some really arbitrary crap. Stuff like how you have to quarantine so many days if you've been exposed so many minutes.

The funniest part is that my little group of15 people are exempt from the policy.

Why? Because no one can temporarily replace us and overtime would go through the roof.

Yep, some guys I know that have had it, have some bad lung/ breathing complications.

That is priceless...

Essential Workers MUST BE PROTECTED by being exempted from the Company's very own Life and Safety Mandates.

Yes. But slowly my taste is returning to normal.

Posted in this thread earlier and had not had it yet. Caught it in late august, not long after posting about my fear of losing taste and/or smell (Executive Chef). Yep, lost smell and taste entirely for over a week. Taste starting coming back first and then smell. Slowly. Little by little. I was only out of work for a couple
Days because my other symptoms were so mild. No fever. A little runny nose. Kind of tired and aching but in my line of work at 50 I always feel like that. The sensory loss sucked and was very startling. Couldn’t taste how to season the food I was preparing, not good. Oh well, I got it back pretty fully after about two weeks. Nothing tastes different or ‘off’ or other than it should now, but, my sense of smell is only maybe 85 or 90% of what it once was. Enough to notice.

I will have to post after Wednesday.. I have never had a test, but required now because I am going under anesthesia Friday for a heart procedure.

Bummer because I have deer hunt that was suppose to start Saturday and almost everyone on the farm where I would be hunting has or had Covid.

As bad a my lungs feel and the continual pain from arthritis,I doubt I could tell if I had it or not
