It used to be
“I have covid.”
“How do you know?”
“I tested positive.”
“How do you know it’s not a false positive?”
“I lost my taste and smell.”
Are people still losing taste and smell?
@ec20f92d losing taste or smell while you have any upper respiratory illness (cold, flu, etc) is not really rare. i don't know why this symptom has been made to be so critical in diagnosis.
