COVID and side effects EDITOR: I've gone six months without being able to taste or smell anything. Thanks, COVID. I didn't get to taste Thanksgiving dinner. I couldn't enjoy the smell of my Christmas tree. I can't appreciate Mom's home-cooked meals. I'm a wine buyer who can no longer differentiate between wines. I can't taste the food served at my own restaurant. I didn't know the field next to my house was on fire until firetrucks pulled up. I'm grateful we're still wearing masks because I never know if I have bad breath.
