If you got COVID and lost the ability to taste things, did it ever come back? Otherwise, did you experience any other long term consequences from the pandemic in general?

Lost my sense of smell and taste for about three weeks but then it went back to normal.

I didn’t have any other symptoms and didn’t realize I had COVID until I tried smelling some freshly blended horseradish and couldn’t smell anything, but man did it still burn the nostrils. Would not recommend.

I have a friend that also had it and lost smell and taste for a month or two and it’s mostly come back, but coffee tastes disgusting to him now.
