FYI
Interesting article about how Covid-19 s affects smell and taste.
I had mentioned in a previous post about how, unlike other coronavirus infections which more often than not permanently impact on smell, Covid-19 seems to impact less severely. This article explains why.
In a nutshell, Covid-19 attaches to the ACE-2 receptors, which the nerves responsible for smell do not possess. Their “supporting” cells do. Other coronavirus infections directly attack the nerves, which are much less likely to recover.
Stay safe and be well.
