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.
Well, I fully believe that this stuff is like any other respiratory disease. Some will die, some will just get symptoms and be like yeah whatever. Every illness that comes along affects us in different ways because, despite medical science's desire to put everyone in a single "human" box, we're all slightly different.
The symptoms I experienced were scary strange. I've never had this kind of loss of taste or smell, I wasn't clogged up like a cold, this was frightening in it's quickness and severity.
