It's been about two months and I'd say that I have about 80% of my taste and smell back. I kind of wish that I could permanently lose my sense of smell. I get headaches from odors all the time. Scented candles, scented cleaning agents etc. often give me such a bad headache that I feel nauseous. They didn't bother me at all when I couldn't smell and it was wonderful. I didn't even care that I couldn't smell fresh bread, steaks etc. because my quality of life was better. The whole not being able to smell smoke was worrisome however.

***NON-POLITICAL COVID-19 Discussion Thread***
Quote:
The people responsible for reporting data and interpreting it for the masses have spent years building bad will with people by lying or being deceitful about nearly everything they write and say. A lot of this is absolutely on them. They put clickbait and politics before news and reporting for years and helped create an emotional and reactive public not encouraged to think. It’s really not surprising that people decided they would continue being distrustful of them because they’ve already spent years being this way. The people then don’t care about reality or facts about vaccines and instead seek out whoever is providing information that is different from what those others are saying and convince themselves it’s the actual truth. They convince themselves they are seeking and finding the actual truth when they find someone who says don’t take the vaccine, but it’s simpler than that. They are actually only seeking something different from what their “enemies” are saying, regardless of what it is. They don’t realize at all what’s actually going on in their minds. It then becomes a source of pride for them to say they don’t believe those people pushing vaccines and found the “real truth.” And far too many opposing outlets and people are willing to indulge these desires and provide different information for their own benefit. This process is true of basically any other topic as well. |

Our little village did its best to keep my sister's kids firing on all cylinders. A good chunk of their peers in the mid and lower socioeconomic groups are in a mess though. Before break the amount of school suspensions were climbing higher than they've ever been. It's hard to even think about all the kids who rely on school for a decent meal and a safe space away from whatever is preying on them. |

Got a COVID test this morning and tested negative but I've been sick as shit for the past 4 days. Chest congestion, cough, fever. A lot of the similar signs. I went ahead and bought one of those blood oxygen monitors you put on your finger just in case.

Also, far too many people only read the headline and/or the first paragraph. Often to read the actually important bits, you have to read all the way to the last paragraph where they give all the caveats and context.
