Summary

Quail 20939 had COVID in 2021, likely the delta variant, with oxygen dropping to 85%; they were not hospitalised and credit daily blood thinners. A later illness, possibly COVID again, brought back distorted smells such as sewage and popcorn, and they still cannot eat popcorn. They were poorly at times but not severely affected overall.
