Summary
They caught COVID in July 2022 after three vaccine doses and were still not recovered three months later, able to work only about three hours a day instead of six. From late October 2022 they smelled cigarettes and sewage that others could not detect. They did their own smell training with an orange and other common scents, and by mid-January 2023 the distortion had gone, about three months after it started.
