I take a fairly hefty zinc supplement but still had the loss of taste and smell with the corvids. It went away fairly quickly, so perhaps it just swamps the body's ability to process zinc temporarily?

This wasn't reduced, it was like someone had flipped a switch. Monday morning I ate breakfast and had a coffee, Monday afternoon I couldn't taste anything other than salt and couldn't smell a thing.

Fakest and gayest shit ever. Covid isn't real. Nobody flipped a switch where you weren't sick at all and you magically lost your sense of taste and smell.

Its such obvious attention whoring bullshit.

Good for you. Unfortunately, what I experienced seemed real enough, but hey, random poster from Voat, YOU obviously know how I felt when I was sick, and the few weeks I couldn't taste anything.

It sure seemed real enough to me, but again, YOU obviously know everything. Good job. Now go back to voat.xyzlgbtpbbq11

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.

Could you taste black pepper?

Salt?

P.S. why is there a reddit-esque comment filter? "Wait a bit to comment" even though I've only comment once today.

I lose my sense of taste and smell for a few days every time I get a cold. I'm not s scientist but your zinc hypothesis sounds plausible to me.

loss of taste and smell is normal for the flu.... have you forgot the time before the covaids?

Once you've seen how strong placebo effects can be you learn quickly to second guess such symptoms. I'm not perfect, I've experienced such things myself. You know it's fake and all in your head but your mind still tricks you all the same.

Loss of taste and smell is subjective to a large degree. Whenever I've been sick throughout my life, the initial congestion and grogginess has always reduced my smell and taste.

To me it's like saying that Covid makes your fever sweat smell more foul and pungent. All viruses give you a fever and your BO can fluctuate so much for so many reasons, you could easily convince yourself it "more pungent".

If you take the time to see the bigger picture in the world today and when Covid started it becomes insultingly obvious that Covid is fake and gay. Though my opinion does not ignore the possibility of governments releasing actual bio weapons in small isolated groups to help pump the Covid numbers and public fear.

Remember the Salem Witch trials... People can be stupid as fuck when they blindly follow public fear campaigns.

Even if you were sick you little faggot, you are describing flu symptoms

$10 when the names are back the user is /BurnInHelna(sp?) who has all kinds of covid sob stories about knowing multiple people who dropped dead and blah blah blah nobody fucking cares.

How dare you. My entire family and every neighbor for 10 miles around me is dead. The military is bulldozing bodies in the old pit mine, because the morgue cant keep up. What we need here are Nazi's, they knew how to work a furnace beyond physics realities. This is hell on earth, poor me.

Same for me, almost exactly.

Same thing with me, I'm finally not smelling the smell of cigarette smoke every day. It's worse than cig smoke, it was always taking my breath away to the point that I wanted to breathe through my mouth. My taste came back after a month, but a month of great tasting food was the worst.

Oh also, I don't smoke and neither do people around me.

I’m pretty certain there are about three types of false smells when you’re recovering - sweet-ish onions, cigarettes and rot. Be happy you didn’t get the latter, lol

Yeah I hear my aunt smelled rotten smells, certainly glad I didn't.

If it weren't for loss of taste and smell, I wouldn't have noticed I had COVID. I didn't have a cough nor any strong symptoms. I had some body aches and felt somewhat tired and chilly for about 24 hours.

Then a day or two after that, I noticed I couldn't smell anything. NOTHING at all. When I heard of that symptom I didn't believe it. I thought it must just be a reduced sense of smell. I have an extremely sensitive nose, almost annoyingly so. But post-COVID, I could not smell even gasoline when it was 1 inch from my nose. Absolutely flabbergasting.

Smell returned after about 10 days to two weeks. Someone less healthy than me had it several months ago and his sense of smell has yet to fully return.

I quickly recovered to 100% in all areas. Like I said above, if it weren't for the loss of sense of smell I basically wouldn't have noticed that I had COVID.

I thought the same, it's just reduced like any other cold. No, this was a complete and total loss of smell. Nothing, not even overheated cooking oil, not that super-strong pine cleaner that makes your nose burn, nothing. About two weeks and it was back.

Some things still taste wrong, the commercial brewer coffee we use at work tastes off, and artificial sweeteners still taste - wrong. That's the only way I can describe it. Maybe watery?

I had a couple days where I had that got a cold achey feeling, and a runny nose for a couple weeks. That's about it.

There are a few things that still smell a tiny bit off for me. Certain oils like olive oil, or more chemical things like rubbing alcohol have a different scent to them now. But other than that, my sense of smell has basically completely returned.

Wow the commercial coffee and artificial sweeteners taste wrong to you now? Seems like corona fixed your previously gutter tier tastebuds

How many mg of zinc?

[–] 2 pts

100mg, and there's some more (I can't remember how much) in the magnesium supplement I take.

Do you have a link? I don't do amazon, but whenever someone links amazon, I just copy paste the title and find it elsewhere. I want to order whatever you are taking. Thank you.

ZINC MAKES YOU SLOWLY BLIND due to leaching copper from human retina.

800mg a day proven to make some men blind.

stick to RDA of threefold 8mg female adult, 11mg male adult to not harm retina.

threefold US RDA of 11mg for men is 33mg daily zinc NOT 100 !!!!

And science papers show 800 to 850 makes you BLIND (men took it to make penis harder).

ZINC LEECHES COPPER FROM RETINA!!!*

33mg is threefold. 100 is asking for retina problems.

100mg of what exactly? Zinc comes in many forms, each form has a different amount of elemental zinc. Understand what this means.

No. You're a kike puppet pushing jewish propaganda. There is no virus.

Show me an isolate. An actual isolate. Not a proof empty claim of DNA sequencing.

He is a jew, and he is no longer correct this specific month.

For a very long time, for months, that jew was correct, and that no SARS-2 actual isolate, unique to itself and uncontaminated existed in any lab.

They did not think it a important priority as they had a full sequence of its single RNA strand in a computer file.

Then, quietly, many many months later, the CDC after being mocked by this fact, announced the virus was isolated in a proper sample.
