At my quarterly MD visit today I got results from my blood draw antibody test. Unlike the BS PCR, this test is highly accurate.
Both exposure and infection positive.
My symptoms were exactly as you describe.
When I was at my worst, I drank a couple of cups of Chinchona bark tea (quinine).
Within 2 hours I felt MUCH better. Stuff really works. My wife had the same experience.
After that it was just like getting over a nasty cold.
However, 4 months later and my sense of smell is still ~ 75% - 80% of what it was previously.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76081982 I think the ACE2 cells are involved in the smelling, and the more zinc that's in them, the more sensitive. When I take a zinc ionophore, I get increased sense of smell! I can smell and taste the iron in our hard water, when normally I cannot. When Covid infected, they're busy and damaged and don't smell as well. All zinc is being used to fight the RNA replication. I'd suppose your long term reduction of smell is that some ACE2 cells were destroyed. I think they regenerate over time though, because supposedly old people have more of them than young people.
