My first symptom was loss of taste/smell since last Friday afternoon. I tested positive yesterday after going to a drive thru test on Monday. I'm 32. No indication my taste/smell is coming back at all.

I'm now freaking out a bit.

Honestly wouldn't see much of a point in living if I couldn't taste good food. My life already blows anyway.

Seriously it's already been sort of depressing just dealing with this for a few days. I'm reading it could take up to two weeks to fully regain these sense (from someone I know in Canada that had COVID). But if I never got these senses back? What would be the fricking point.

Not concerned yet, but if you still can't taste or smell in a week I'd stsrt to worry about it.

99.5% of people aren't dying.. but I doubt there's been a real study on the number of people not regaining these senses. Especially since it wasn't an initially known symptom. Even my printout they gave me when I got tested doesn't list these symptoms on it.

Not dieing dumbest, not being able to smell or taste. A lot of people that had those symptoms haven't had their sense fully come back. Can you not read or are you too stuck in your talking points to be honest?

Call your doc, get some xanax, drink a few beers. You'll be fine.
