I was just reading your posts in the other forum.
I always figured I was infected sometime between the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Monday or Tuesday last week. I lost taste/smell last Thursday.
Makes me think I was infected over that weekend. Problem is, I don't know of any people I came in contact with that weekend who also tested positive. The only place I went was my small group fitness class. People have been pretty good about reporting symptoms, if they have them, but I guess there could have been someone who didn't (or was completely asymptomatic).
The lost taste thing is crazy. I had a drink of coffee and went "yeeccch the coffee is bad" so I grabbed a diet pepsi and went "man, it's flat too", so I grabbed some hot pickle bites and couldn't taste anything and was like "oh, i get it now"
It's really weird.
I had partial taste last Thursday. Nothing tasted bad, flavors were just muted. And I could only smell certain things. It did seemed like smell improved when I took Sudafed, though.
Lost smell and taste completely on Friday. Thankfully, still nothing tasted bad. And I could distinguish between sweet, salty, spicy, sour, and bitter. But absolutely nothing had any flavor.
Taste started coming back on Tuesday, I think. It was better yesterday, and is even better today. Taste is strongest with the first couple of bites and then tends to fade. Can smell certain things, but not everything.
