That's right folks. I was diagnosed with COVID19 also known as Kung Flu. Ive had it since last week. Ive had flus worse than this. But I find the complete lack of smell disturbing. Anyone have a cold or flu that knocked out their sniffer?

Sinus congestion is more a symptom of a cold then wuflu. But congested sinus would make you loose taste as well

The crazy thing is i thought sinuses were untouched by COVID. now all of a sudden over the last 3 weeks theres a media barrage over COVID now knocking out smell and taste. Like...wtf?

Covid was knocking out smell and taste as of day1 it's the most common symptom shortly followed by cough and fatigue/body aches.

Sinus congestion is reported maybe in 1% and is probably a cold not covid and since the test just says you have a high viral load (any virus) it's impossible to tell.

But sore throat, sinuses plugged, cough probably not covid and just a cold. Having your sinuses plugged will affect taste and smell.

So don't panic. Take your vitamin C and D some zinc and green tea and relax. They call everything covid because they honestly dont care/know.
