My smell and taste came back to around 25% after two weeks. Seems to have stalled there for now, 1 week later

My cousin tested positive three weeks ago. He got lost of his smell and taste back, no longer had a fever, but still has a cough. Apparently his primary care physician told him he's cleared to return to work without a test because the cough is most likely due to inflammation. Does that sound right? I was under the impression most people needed a negative test before returning, I'm surprised he'll be back interacting with people at work while having a cough.

Here in Quebec the rule is 10 days after onset of symptoms you can go back to normal activities unless you still have "heavy" symptoms, then it depends. No tests required. You can still have a little cough (it can last weeks), fatigue, etc.

Same in the US. In fact people continue to test positive for weeks or even months after the virus is already dead, apparently

Hell, in North Dakota you get a positive test, tell the nurse to go gently caress themselves, and just head off into the wilderness to keep working your job

Everything was gross water-flavoured chunks and “thick water” flavored liquids, even though I knew I needed to be dumping calories into my body. Under normal circumstances I’d have taken any excuse to gorge, so having no appetite felt extremely foreign. My senses have come back thankfully. that’s so bizarre. i’d try that for a few days if i could avoid the, yknow, deadly illness

Well, it’s likely my housemate has it (runs a dept in a grocery store) so we are waiting on results to confirm him and I am trying to get in for a rapid test today. Windows open, fans on, wearing masks other than when sleeping (separately) and lysoling everything. I feel fine but I am scared. I’ll pretty much be in my own if I get sick, so what are things you wish you’d had in your sickbeds? I’m gonna change out my sheets and fluff my pillows, buy a flat of water bottles and Gatorade’s to have at hand and I made and portioned out some soups tonight. I’ve got a stack of books and laptop ready to go. Any input welcome, I’m preparing for the worst.

banned from Starbucks posted:For those that have lost taste/smell how would you rate it? Is the taste like..muted or just completely gone? Does stuff taste like cardboard? Does the loss of smell come with any other sinus type feeling or pressure? Was it a gradual build up or just bam, suddenly the next meal you could notice it? A family friend got it and it hit him almost instantaneously. Once he realized something was up he went to the bathroom and sprayed some cologne on his wrist. Even holding his wrist directly under his nose he couldn't smell it

I've tested negative four times since May (3-swab, 1-antibody) so whatever crud I had the entire month of February and half way through March apparently wasn't it...but for 24-hours, I couldn't smell poo poo and only my tongue worked for taste. It started when we were eating out and the food tasted like salty cardboard and paste. It was really weird because I have lost my sense of smell before, during heavy head colds, but this time my airways were all clear.
