My niece (22 yrs. old) recently, a couple of days ago, tested positive. She ignored a few of the early symptoms after a Thanksgiving trip to Fort Lauderdale with 10 other members of my family. We're waiting to see how if they were infected. We did not go and remain somewhat isolated.
She apparently has "mild" symptoms...fatigue, brain fog, cough. She said she can't think clearly. She put a tsp of pepper on her tongue and could not taste it. She said things that used to smell good, smell kind of disgusting. Like mold or mildew.
I immediately started researching and found several articles about this. The most alarming but not conclusive is approx. 75% mild symptom, loss of smell Covid patients have not regained those senses. The smells and tastes are not normal after months and some regain sort of taste and smell but the things they're smelling are not the same smells. They are somewhat disgusting.
The smell of coffee, peanut butter, baked goods, freshly laundered sheets and clothes, flowers, OMG this is awful. Many of these positive "mild symptom" patients have no appetite and find it a chore to eat. I won't link all the articles, you can google them.
