Well... I don't know what it is since the covid home test didn't show positive for neither my wife nor me the one time we did them but since last June we haven't been able to smell the fumes of beer thrown on the sauna stove. She felt somewhat ill during our holiday trip, I got some sniffles a week later. Nothing that would prevent going to work. But the sense of smell hasn't been normal since then. But of course it's just our imagination, even more so because of the negative test results.

State sponsored cyber attacks are becoming commonplace. Biological attacks began with Covid (if not before). The really savage attacks, both cyber and biological, loom around the next corner. We ain't seen nothin' yet.

I'm not sure my mom's sense of smell is quite back to 100% either.  The researchers don't seem to be arguing residual effects.   

“However, we found that the rates of ongoing symptoms and functional impairment are indistinguishable from other post-viral illnesses,” he continued.

“These findings underscore the importance of comparing post-COVID-19 outcomes with those following other respiratory infections, and of further research into post-viral syndromes.”

The loss of sense of smell and taste is one of the symptoms my mother and I both had when dealing with a cold. Any time as a kid or an adult, when I had a cold I lost both. There were a couple times in the last 4 years when I had a loss of taste / smell I went and got covid tested. It came back negative every time. Last month the wife and I both came down with some kind of virus. No real symptoms other than heavy bad cough and fatigue. No fever, aches pains, loss of smell / taste or other symptoms of covid or cold / flu. Took over 3 weeks to get over it though a real PITA. I kept doing my workouts just to help clear the lungs of crap because the coughing fits were really nasty. A check for pneumonia was also negative as was the lung x-ray. All the NP said was take it easy and ride it out as there isn't much can be done for a virus.

A lot of people are moving to Idaho. I moved from there last year. They aren't moving there just for the weather.

I work in IT (still). Cyber attacks are becoming more common.
