I’m a microbiologist and I tested positive today. 14 days ago, our coworker tested positive so we self monitor and I tested negative.
A week later I felt body sore and tired but I have been overworked so much and I stripped my horse’s stall so I thought it was that. I did have a bit of sputum come up last week but I tested it and it was normal flora. I also felt feverish and agitated but I self monitored and my temp was normal. Did have a bit of anorexia but I still ate, just not as much and I was thirsty. I felt fine Monday.
Wednesday I lost my sense of smell. I didn’t notice it until Saturday. I can taste but no smell. I put a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 up to my nose and breathe deeply. Nothing. Even the fumes from the liquor were not there.
I can’t smell the air, my horse, coffee, alfalfa hay, my man, my cat, stinky laundry, detergent, soap. Nothing at all. It’s so weird.
I can taste but not garlic. That’s really weird. My coworker lost her smell/taste but she said that it will return.
Now I get 10 days off and I have PTO saved up so I’m going to post anything that turns up and to answer questions.
Update: I put Castro oil in my nose with a qtip and I can smell cloves!!! Idk of the oil is working or if my smell is just coming back. I’m taking the vitamins that was recommended too.
What's your thoughts on the recent revival in Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Zinc as treatment?
Just curious what you know. Here's some bits I've seen:
https://covid19criticalcare.com/i-mask-prophylaxis-treatment-protocol/ FLCCC Site info on Ivermectin. Lots to read and watch

I think waiting for a vaccine to save the day is a fool's errand. Only an opinion, but seeing as it apparently won't help those already infected (to the best of my knowledge, may be wrong here...) there surely has to be other ways to approach this ridiculous situation we're all in???
Ivermectin triple combo treatment apparently can:
Prevent people catching the Coof in the first place, or
Cure already infected people in a very few days.
So, WTF is the point of a vaccine then?
Australia is in panic mode again because of a MEGA CLUSTER - of a few dozen cases across a couple of states. In our Summer, when it will be easily beaten and hard to spread. It's so far beyond retarded I don't even have e a word for it.
BTW good luck with your recovery.
