Well I assume with a loss of taste and smell they have other Symptoms?

Yes, as I wrote above, extreme fatigue. Also breathing difficulty/feeling “winded”, as well as some other symptoms that also overlap with flu. Not all of us shared all the same symptoms, but we all fell ill within a day or two of one another.

I’m curious as to why the old anti-parasitic treatments like hcq/ivermectin seem to be effective, but that begs the question of the very existence of a novel coronavirus.

I had hoped for more information or evidence beyond “it hasn’t been isolated”.

I feel like covid being testable should be able to be isolated and a proper standard vaccine could be made. Basic things supposedly work like an UV light in your houses central air can kill pretty much all covid. Taking a multivitamin and getting plenty of sun or vitamin D can keep it away. The issue is being a regular mask wearer if covid exists or not increases your risk of infection from all kinds of nasty stuff. Especially if you wear the same mask over and over from place to place. It's just collecting these disease/viruses and eventually you either breath it in or touch it and touch your face and boom your sick.

You say a lot of things that make sense! Most of our population is deficient in vitamin D, especially during winter. Probably even explains the seasonality of viral illnesses. So making people stay home (out of the sunlight), and wearing masks, both seem to make matters worse.

By the way, our German friends told us that their vaccine is better than the ones in the US, since theirs is a traditional one. I think I read somewhere that the Russians have developed a traditional vaccine, as well. I’ve not looked into it, but I have zero interest in a vaccine of any kind.

I don't want to take one either. But someone needs to do a FOIA in Germany and tell them to isolate covid in a lab and they can prove it to the world of it exists or not.

Sorry for the delay on responses. I'm also in no way an expert or medically trained but just looking at webmd(probably not a good source even) shows that there are tons of reasons and sicknesses as simple as a cold that have those same symptoms including loss of taste and smell. 80% of your taste is smell and having a plugged up nose can do the trick. Whatever you do if people are running a fever you need to see a doctor. Last thing I want is a dead family member for some speculation you hear from me or another pede. It even says a lack of vitamins (same ones you take to get over covid) can cause loss of taste or smell Wich struck me as super convenient.

Thanks. We’re all pretty well past it, aside from residual fatigue. The only ones that really had it bad (with fever) were the same that lost taste and smell. Agreed that clogged sinuses would impede smell (and most taste), but we have all had colds and flu throughout our lives, but hearing first-hand how unique/strange the loss of taste was seems pretty compelling to me. It is interesting how zinc deficiency seems to be associated.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I’ll chew on it for a bit.
