Yeah, I don't understand the insistence that it isn't real. Just because the gob'ment and media lie about it and use it for power gains doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I've met a number of people who mentioned the same symptoms after getting it. It seems unlikely that it was all just a mass delusion that they couldn't smell anymore.
Virus is real, and fully capable of taking advantage of our piss poor diets and lack of sunshine and exercise.
Yeah I believe that; particularly the lack of sunshine for most 9-5ers

I've met a number of people who mentioned the same symptoms after getting it.
Here's the thing though, the common cold has the same symptoms. Occasionally a mutation will bring out different amounts of these symptoms, but they aren't an unknown thing for the common cold.
I understand the "it isn't real!!11!" thing though. Too many people don't/can't understand nuances and end up conflating things that don't exist with things that are called different names around the world.
Good point.
It seems unlikely that it was all just a mass delusion
Just like the hospitals were full and overflowing too lmao.
Have you seen the entire populace walking around with cloth on their faces pretending it protects from viral infections?
Yeah, I believe the cant smell meme was the same bullshit.
Just like the hospitals were full and overflowing too lmao.
They clearly weren't, we have lots of proof of that.
Preaching to the choir on the masks, but I've met trustworthy people who got some sort of illness and then lost their sense of smell and taste for a while. It stands to reason that a bunch of people experiencing the same symptoms probably got the same thing.
I get it, bro, the gob'ment and media lied about so many facets of the thing, that it's reasonable to question every part of it, but that doesn't mean that there are that many people lying about a particular symptom. Anyway, have an upvote.
I work with someone who is out right now, feels kind of meh but just lost taste and smell like me.
Another former coworker said that he lost taste, but everything smelled weird, kind of but not really like strawberries. Said it was really fucked up when smell started to come back, because everything smelled like what it was and strawberry.
I don't worry about the people here who screech about it not being real. I've had influenza, this was completely different in how it acted.
They think it's fake because there have been so many obvious lies about it. I can understand the impulse, but yeah, it exists. It would be like thinking blacks didn't exist because the media portrays them as just like us.
That's a good point. There have been so many lies that fatigue sets in, you believe everything is a lie at that point.
I've had that shit before when I've had a regular cold. The reason you lose your sense of smell is because your sinuses are clogged up with mucus. Once you feel better its usually back to semi-normal, if not entirely.
I've had that kind of cold, I used to get them all the time at my last employer because of the dirty building.
This was not like that. I was not clogged up, just had that itchy nose you get when you have a mild cold.
Sure sure sure. On the flip side, not being able to taste should have made your lard ass lose considerable amount of weight
No, your mom's nymphomania keeps me slim.
