    On a serious note, COVID isn’t the only virus that can cause loss of smell (permanent or temporary). I lost it before COVID for a month or so, and it took some time for it to return completely. But to this day, there are still certain chemical smells (like deodorants in spray) that smell a tiny bit off to me.

      My wife has COVID olfactory loss that has never fully come back. I’m thankful in a way because I can fart on road trips and she doesn’t know it.

        Joke’s on you. To compensate for her loss of smell, she developed super hearing. Now she hears you fart every time.
