I'm only here to whine about my own "loss of taste" (and to let you know you're not alone). I got the flu last March, the week before the "slow the spread" bs began. It wasn't much but it left me with a sinus infection, which grew to include an ear infection. 11 months later, I'm still battling both but I've been doing some things the last month or so that has me winning the battle finally. Originally, I lost my sense of taste in my whole mouth, that went away once the initial flu went away. Oddness of oddness though, once I started to finally get the crap flushed out of me, I again lost my sense of taste but this time, it is only half of my mouth that is tasteless. Food on the left, all tastes normal, food on the right, flavorless.
So... moral of my story... once I realized I has the sinus/ear infecction going on summer was coming and I thought the sun and fresh air would clear me out, but, while it held it at bay all summer, as soon as fall arrived and I lost my time in the sun each day, it came on strong. I eventually had to retreat from life for about six weeks as I focused on treating my sinus and ear problems. Finally, it is starting to lose the battle (yay). My warning, stay on top of stuff, don't do as I did and think it'll just get booted out on it's own. I've never had anything hang on this long in my body, and mostly it is my own fault for not jumping on it early on before it grew to be a beast. Don't be like me!!!
Well, I am sorry for your battle with the Wuhan Flu! Fren! https://i.maga.host/b3Kt3ZE.png Basking in the sun is wise because during the Spanish Flu, doctors only knew basics; besides masks and self-isolation measures, they all told patients that sunlight is the best medicine.
