Anosmia can have different causes, but it's not permanent from covid, some people have it longer than others, but so far I haven't seen anything saying that the damage is permanent.
I can now put this under TIL. I was speaking with a younger co-worker earlier today. She told me it took her 6 months to
regain her sense of taste. It's still not precovid though. She told me strawberries don't taste sweet to her anymore. She
said they taste sour like lemons.
