Today, a friend from back east, who recently had #Covid ,posted on Facebook asking how long it will take for their smell and taste to return to normal.
I responded that it varies, but she should inform her doctor of her continuing issue with smell and taste distortion/absence because #LongCovid is a real risk, and the more her doctor knows, about her symptoms, the better.
She replied with "long covid?".
My friend, who has now had #Covid19 twice, didn't know what long covid is.
I explained it to her, and she was grateful for the info. I told her she's at risk for another infection, and the only way to prevent that is #LayersOfProtection , including wearing a #Mask .
I've no clue if she will implement more robust #CovidSafety , but at least she knows now.
Btw - the comments on this post were filled with stories of people who had it take weeks to get back, or never got it back at all. There are 28 comments so far.
