Summary
They caught COVID in September 2021; the cough was mild but other symptoms were not. Monoclonal antibody treatment made them feel much better within about a day. Their sense of smell never fully returned, though it was somewhat more back online by December, and eggs suddenly smelled and tasted like cigarette smoke.
