I never lost my taste or smell when I had Rona. I ran a high fever, had body aches, and vomiting. Plus I got COVID pneumonia.
My second and third vaccination shots made me ill for a couple of days afterward as well.
But hey, I did all right considering I thought I'd be a goner if I caught it. I have several of the "high risk" factors they warn about. It's weird how this virus effects people so differently.
