How has the virus affected you directly?

So I think I might have the rona. I literally cannot smell or taste anything. I thought I had a head cold or allergies as I've been stuffy and congested for the last few days but my wife asked me to smell some oil crap she bought and nothing. It might as well have been water. So I've been going around the house smelling things and absolutely nothing. It's really weird to have absolutely no sense of smell.

Then we go and get some italian ice stuff last night, I'm thinking "Wow, this is so bland" my wife takes a bite of mine and says it is way way too sweet for her. I take another bite. It might as well be straight ice with no flavor to me.

So no real symptoms other than loss of smell and taste. So weird.

Sooooo, I'm going to get tested. Dammit.

Dang... that doesn't sound good. Good luck... hopefully none of the fam has it. Test is absolutely horrible from what I've heard.
 
Your wife took a bite out of your icee from which you’d taken a bite?

Best wishes. Seriously.
 
Good luck to you!

The nastiness of the test seems to be dependent upon what's in the way. If you have a deviated septum or something, it is probably worse. I've had 4 sinus surgeries and it is all wide open spaces up there. I didn't even flinch, and the technician said "wow, that an easy, straight shot up there."
 
This really sucks for so many people in so many ways. This is probably the largest event in my lifetime. Its effects are larger on everyones lives than anything I can think of. I honestly underestimated this by a lot. I do think a lot is overreaction but thats besides the point.

One of my best friends found out she has cancer. Its been rough for her dealing with it and not being able to have anyone go with her to the hospital due to the policy because of the virus. When she first found out she was in shock and didnt hear anything the doctor told her. She had to go back a couple days later just to hear the info again and write it down. She had surgery and is doing much better though and should be make a full recovery.

I am supposed to marry her and her girlfriend. But unfortunately I dont think ill be able to even attend their wedding let alone perform the marriage. It really bums me out. They are kind of waiting for me but things keep getting delayed.

The small ways this has effected everyone that I never thought of astound me.
