    After avoiding it for about three years I got the virus three weeks ago... Beside some severe muscle pain, and hard time to sleep (probably connected) I had nothing special at the beginning... But on the 4th day I realized that I do not taste the food and do not smell it... Even today - three weeks late - I can't cook a decent meal or enjoy it... I'm devastated...

      My wife had a similar problem. It took a month or so, but her sense of taste and smell came back. I understand it varies from person to person. Hope yours doesn't take too much longer to come back.

        My sympathy! I got vaccinated in January/February 2021, but that June I think I got a very mild case. I was up for the whole night with serious trouble breathing that was very much worse lying down. Eventually I fell asleep in my armchair, and in the morning I was fine - but, at first, food tasted a bit strange, and then it tasted of nothing. Now, a year and a half later, my sense of taste has just about returned. One thing I did notice is that cold foods, like salads and fruit, were much less affected than hot, cooked foods.

          As you know, we had it in May 2020. My hair is still regrowing (and a mess, because it's not long enough to fit in the pony yet but I can't cut it as it just postpones the problem). And ... my sense of taste is still different to before the bug - even today, there are flavours I can't detect anymore. It never went completely, but it definitely changed, hopefully not permanently. Ithink it's slowing coming back, but it's really difficult to tell!

              That's a long time... As now I can't tell if something is salty or spicy or sweet... I'm not sure I can stand it for two years...

                    Well done. I reckon losing weight is harder than giving up smoking. Since 2013 I lost 26kg and put 24 back on.

                      Don't know about the long run... I've actually used an application to create a kind of commitment - also got educated about food and habits...

                              In the US there is a huge subculture that continually disparage the vaccine (and its takers) in spite of the well-documented fact that it has saved millions of lives and reduced Covid's symptoms for a large subset of those who survived the ordeal who received the vaccine. I believe he is talking about those people. They can be quite obnoxious.

                                      After avoiding it for about three years I got the virus three weeks ago... Beside some severe muscle pain, and hard time to sleep (probably connected) I had nothing special at the beginning... But on the 4th day I realized that I do not taste the food and do not smell it... Even today - three weeks late - I can't cook a decent meal or enjoy it... I'm devastated...
