    Bon Appetit, mon ami! It sounds like you are less worried of your travels to the bigger city, which I'm glad to hear.

    Naw, I'm abit worried. And just read that numbers are raising in Sthlm. So hopefully I'm going just in time to avoid being there when it is really bad.

    And will avoid the subway/crowded places as good as I can.

    I've got a friend in the hospital right now (or at least as of a couple of days ago) getting oxygen.  He'd fit in well on this thread; knows the seriousness, masks, distancing, staying home, etc.  Meanhwhile one of our MAGA friends acts like nothing has changed (except when he's whining that he can't take his trip to Banff) and...nothing.  Covid 19 is random and has NO sense of poetic justice.

    Nothing serious thankfully, my wife and I just got taste and smell back after almost 7 weeks. And it’s not even 100% still.

    Wow.  Eating food is one of the best parts of the day and to not enjoy that for 7 weeks sucks.

    Wow. That is a long time. My sense of smell and taste was only gone for about 10 days before it started coming back. I think it was fully back within 2 weeks. I am glad you and your wife are doing better.

    So what were your initial symptoms?

    Thanks everyone! Yes it’s a “minor” thing but it sucks! Even worse, somethings taste weird or off when your taste starts to come back. My wife still can’t enjoy coffee and we’re big coffee drinkers.

    My dad died of pancreatic cancer and while his quality of life was diminishing in so many ways, he pointed out that you just don't realize how much the taste of food matters until you cannot taste it.

    100%. I hate complaining about that symptom because compared to severe cases I may come off bad. But it SUCKS not tasting food. I started to get nervous because it lasted so long. Luckily it’s coming back.

    I used to work with a man who permanently lost his sense of taste during and after cancer. The guy adored food too, shared some exquisite meals with him. 

    I can’t imagine that, nor not being able to smell. The olfactory sense is so powerful.

    I’ve learned - well, still learning - that you can’t compare. Your pain or suffering is your own.

    Glad to know you got through the worst of it, nick.
