Ok this is weird. Lurgy day 5ish. Have tested negative to COVID a couple of times. Just completly lost my sense of smell. Like I was cleaning out the kitty litter thinking it was weirdly not smelly. Can just get a whiff of eucalyptus oil if I basically shove it up my nose. Perfume - nothing. Cleaning alcohol - nothing. 😳😳😳
No just bought them recently when I was starting to feel poorly. But who knows. I’m supposed to be on holiday next week so as long as it gets better soon I don’t really care. I’ve kinda already called that I am WFH all week (and reduced hours when naps happen)

There’s a RSV going around, it can do that too.
I recall many colds where I couldn’t smell or taste very well but the Covid pandemic made me more aware of it as a symptom
It could be something else. But apparently the tests are less accurate with the newer strains. You might’ve been covided.
I had that, too, and couldn’t taste much. 5 tests over 5 days said no covid, but whatever it was was pretty bad
@imoldgreeeg are they old RATs?

What about sense of taste?
Bit dull but not gone (yet).
All signs point to Covid
