Reports coming out now that Covid has removed the sense of smell from a lot of people (not sure if it's temp or perm) and we all know taste is affected by smell (hence pinching your nose to eat something nasty)

Almost sure I had the CV after reading about altered taste as a result.

Pretty sure dysgeusia (derangement of taste) and anosmia (absense of smell) are both present; they came on in me at different dates, and I got the smell back a day or so before the taste.

I also think that at least some of the dysgeusia was a side effect of the zinc, and not necessarily related to the COVID.

Zinc is supposed to help to restore the sense of taste.
