Summary
Wave 21517 caught COVID-19 in January 2021 and went on to have long COVID, losing taste and smell and having varying degrees of parosmia for over a year. A reinfection in July 2022 was as intense as the first illness on days one and two, but by day three they felt slightly better and began tasting things again, with cilantro tasting like cilantro for the first time in about eighteen months.
