Likely had it back in January this year myself. Didn't even have a stuffed up nose, or runny nose, not even a sneeze. Lost my sense of smell, but not my sense of taste.
It's so bad here(in Southern Ontario), that the hospitals have been laying off nurses, doctors and PSW's since the middle of last year. And now we're under yet another 'stay at home' order, but I don't see much compliance going on - good in my book. Even heading home from work early this morning, and going through London, Ontario and Woodstock, Ontario people were out still doing things.
This statement doesn't make sense. Your sense of smell is 99% of your sense of taste (some basic tastes like sweet/bitter are handled in the tongue).
I had COVID last year and it took more than a month to fully regain smell/taste. Still doesn't justify the hysteria and I was never at any risk of requiring hospitalization.
It makes perfect sense, depending on the types of foods you eat. Since in my family(inc the kids) we mostly eat a more Japanese(I'm half ethnic Japanese) diet then a western die. More 'savory' an 'salty' foods then sweet or bitter.
Never could get over how my mom and her family would sit down for cabbage rolls and sauerkraut and bratwurst like it was going out of fashion.
Perhaps the loss of smell is from a stuffy nose. Anyway, I don't know anyone who died, wound up in ICU or any other scary stuff, either.
