If we're throwing around anecdata, I was a first responder during COVID and several people I worked with lost their sense of taste and/or smell. I would guess at least 25 percent temporarily and I knew a couple who still had altered senses many months later, including one who could only taste sweet properly and everything else tasting like sulfur. The first few times we worked together I thought she was trying to give herself diabetes. Protein shakes didn't taste good either.

My daughter had COVID in January and lost her sense of taste and smell - it was the only symptom she had. It took about three months to regain her senses, and she still has one food ingredient (we think it's a red dye) that tastes like she imagines licking a dirty bathroom floor would taste. Whatever it is, it's in some nacho cheese flavorings and red Sour Patch Kids. It's an improvement from everything tasting like bathroom floor, though.

Can you take a look at my post from today's Wordle and see what it looks like on your end? I have attached a screenshot from today, as you can see the spoilers are hidden.

Hmmm... They're working on Sync. I'll edit my comment to see if it works on Jerboa but I've got no way to verify.

Edit: weirdly enough, the code on my comment changed to >! spoiler here's the text <

Is the new formatting working for you? I have no way to tell.

And even stranger, when I went in to edit it again to see the formatting again, it removed all spoiler formatting without me saving the previous comment. Yay beta! Or maybe it's my hangover.

I have to wonder if the editor planned this week.
