Summary
They caught COVID-19 in August 2021 and lost all sense of smell for about a month, and thought they were back to normal. In late December 2021 wildfire smoke smelled to them like cookies while others said it smelled like hot garbage, and for about ten days they had a faint taste of soap in their mouth.
