Loss of sense of smell during virus worrisome
29 Dec 2020 The loss of sense of smell is one of the early symptoms of COVID-19 infection. The coronavirus continues to be a wrecking ball the world over. With over a million killed and tens of millions affected, there seems to be no sign of any kind of ‘leniency’ on the part of the disease.
Among the new developments: international visitors will be barred from Indonesia for two weeks to try to keep out a new, potentially more contagious variant of the novel coronavirus.
The distribution of an initial 200 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, across the European Union will be completed by September.

Long Covid sufferers developing symptom where they smell fish and burnt toast constantly
The long-term symptom, known as parosmia, seemed to affect young people and healthcare workers in particular
27 December 2020 • 2:05pm
Long covid sufferers are constantly smelling fish, sulphur and burnt toast according to the doctor who identified the “strange symptom”.
Professor Nirmal Kumar, an ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon, said the very strange and very unique long-term symptom known as parosmia seemed to affect young people and healthcare workers, in particular.
The surgeon, who is also the president of ENT UK, was among the first medics to identify anosmia, loss of smell, as a coronavirus indicator in March, and urged Public Health England to add it to the symptom list months before it became official guidance.
