When I had COVID it knocked me on my butt for a couple of days, but other than feeling very tired it wasn’t really that bad. It basically felt like a mild flu, which is why I thought Mrs. Geek was being silly when she wanted me to take a COVID test. But then she was right and it came back positive. I suspect that if I wasn’t vaxxed it would have been much more severe.
My sense of taste/smell kinda came and went. I never knew from one meal to the next if things would taste off or not. When I was getting towards the end of COVID my smell and taste recovered completely.
Hopefully your symptoms stay mild and you recover your smell and taste soon.
