On the long covid thing—if loss of smell counts, then I wouldn’t be surprised if it was close to 50% that had symptoms a few months out (though the other aspects of that part still do seem nonsensical).
For me, my brother, and my cousin, taste took 1-2 months to recover, and smell took more like 6. All athletic mid 20s males.
Aw man, that sucks. I really don’t think loss of smell is being taken as seriously as it should be as a public safety matter, but it really should be. Gas leaks, house fires, and food poisoning are all heightened risks for those who are “hard of smelling.”
