It's odd, but despite knowing many who have tested positive this year, only a handful have lost both senses of taste and smell. As for the current wave, only one old guy I know lost it (but I only know about 6 who've tested positive this time around).@Shakesey

I remember hearing a South African primary care doc talking about the clinical presentation of omicron and that loss of taste/smell wasn’t really a feature. I’m sure you know loads of people who’ve picked it up recently. Is this holding true for them?
Weirdly, losing my taste/smell is currently my biggest personal fear when it comes to covid.
The taste/smell thing is mind-boggling. Could you perhaps explain medically how this can happen? A friend of mine who lives in Ukraine hasn't been able to taste his favorite thing (garlic) for 6 months! He also love/loved steak, but it just doesn't taste the same for him anymore. In fact, he says it sickens him now.
