Is Losing Your Sense Of Smell And Taste The First Sign Of Covid-19? More Research Says Yes.

My cousin and his middle kid had loss of taste and smell, slight headache. Both recovered with no meds, no hospitalization, both had severe co-morbitities.

One of my coworkers said this was her only symptom. However she said it was extremely disturbing. Not like a cold or flu “no sense of taste” but like someone removed all taste buds and olfactory glands.

Indeed they are predromal symptoms. And even those who recover, many will experience protracted and lingering symptoms.
