This is anecdotal, but I have suffered clear and significant issues with aggression/annoyance and anosmia since my COVID infection, so I appreciate any research into long COVID. It’s really scary to feel like I have to grasp to reach words before even my thirties.
This is ~even more~ anecdotal, but me and several of my friends have noticed increased anosmia since the pandemic, but critically starting before any of us got covid (and including friends who never got it). We conjectured that it could be from some combination of very high stress levels for a long time + social isolation? Just to add some data points to the mix.
Funny enough, I meant aphasia. I only experienced anosmia temporarily at the height of my infection and mixed up the two words when writing my comment. Anything involving words generally is just harder these days.

hahaha I actually also meant aphasia :P
Were you wearing masks a lot at the time? I can make up a story a about congestion and lack of sensation deadening sense of smell.
see my comment above—I (ironically) meant aphasia
