Many COVID-19 Survivors Still Can ’t Smell or Taste. Treating Them Isn’t Easy
On the morning after Christmas 2020, Carolyn Hinds woke up and realized she couldn’t smell or taste anything. Other signs of COVID-19, like fever, cough and muscle aches, came in the following days. Those symptoms subsided with time, but her lack of smell and taste did not.
