LOST TASTE 👅 SENSATIONS—This woman had #COVID19 and now cannot taste the difference between whiskey 🥃 hot sauce 🌶 vinegar or Diet Coke. But the “mild” minimizers would hand-wave that #LongCovid doesn’t count right? Stay safe during 🎄 everyone.

2) at a major retail store—almost nobody wearing masks, & even then—only flimsy masks under their noses. I asked two mask wearers why not wear a KN95–response ➡️“I don’t know what that is” & “I can’t afford that fancy stuff”. We’ve failed somewhere horribly.😢(gif @realMeetKevin)

3) why the smell and taste loss? Because #LongCovid suffer from brain 🧠 cell death and thus long term disabilities. Don’t buy the “mild” nonsense.

4) Worse, the coronavirus can induce your own body to terminate certain neurons - to kill your own brain 🧠 cells.

5) the neurological effects of #COVID19 are “frequent” and likely to increase both acute and long term. Don’t risk #LongCovid. nature.com/articles/s4158…
