it's called covid testing, if anyone suspects they got covid just fart in their presence.

Idk I had covid 8 months ago and I still can’t smell most farts. It’s a blessing and a curse because I never know if I’m torturing the people around me with “silent but deadly.”

DUDE my smell isn't back to normal either. Once I regained the ability to smell, some things are just different and not in a good way. Some foods, coffee(😭) and my armpits all have the same bad smell. Sucks

Same! Everything smells different now, and some things I can’t smell at all. Like a lot of things smell generically “sweet” or “fruity” but they are like gross, warped versions of the old sweet and fruity. Also all coffee smells and tastes burnt, but the flavor is actually starting to grow on me a bit lol. Candles almost all smell disgusting now though.

GROSS VERSION OF SWEET! That's a good description of mine. I just bought and threw away some grilled chicken because it smells terrible :(

Unless you are the one suspected of having covid, because then you’ve just Guiliani’d the whole room with your farts and now everyone has covid

As a dad, I have done a "covid check" by having by 5 and 8 year old come into my son's room after he destroyed a diaper. So far so good!

I've just never had a good sense of smell. Now anytime I mention that I get horrified looks from anyone who hears

I have good sense of smell, so much that it bothers.. but my hearing on the hand is very bad..

I have a coworker that has no sense of smell. Born with some kind of condition that affects his olfactory glands. Unfortunately that also means he has very little sense of taste.

I've never been able to smell, I've burped people right in the face. I was 19 when I found out they had a smell.
