Thank you, all the best for you, too :)

Yeah, sick people with symptoms won’t cancel a flight sadly.

Exactly the same here. I tried to train my smell with essential oils like lavender, lemongrass, orange, etc. It took sooo long for me to smell anything at all. I am still just at around 70% of my ability to smell before covid, and it’s been over a year now :/

In particular virulent infections. See Epstein-Barr for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epstein–Barr_virus

I had the real influenza which was a bit worse, but I wasn’t vaccinated 3 times against that. Covid gave me over 6 months of loss of smell, that was terrible.

Welcome, new friend :)

Yes, sadly this is the way :(
