Do you have Covid-19 Smell or Taste Loss? Is the Burnt Orange a Myth?

Many people can't tell the difference between smell and taste loss. I'll try to explain in this video. I also share my thoughts about the burnt orange "cure" that was floating around social media.

Filming notes:
I've found a great website with free stock video and images (no attribution required and they're not sponsoring me) so I went a bit creative/crazy - www.pexels.com
I've been a bit busy with on calls recently so I've tried recording this at night time, which is why the lighting is a bit different to usual (no natural light).

I'm with you..sad thing is that food was my life..I have not been able to eat anything sweet or have coffee For OVER A YEAR NOW.and nothing is helping.. depression is real..I pray you have got better..hell I even went to a doctor and spent 800$ getting some experimental shot and nothing..I pray every night that it comes back..peace to you.

Diagnosed 3 weeks ago. Have pneumonia. Need generated oxygen. Water taste like saline. I try to drink herbal teas. Coffee has very little odor or taste...:( Cream of chicken soup made with diced onions, chopped carrots and celery seems to help me. The upside? I've lost 15 pounds. I use essential oils like lavender and tea tree oil at bedtime to help me relax. We are going to get better!

[@rebeccaedwards8590]

I CAN tell whether it's salty, sweet, bitter or savory. Savory not so much and nothing has an actual flavors profile but, this gives me hope not all is lost

[@thomasmorin749]

God dammit this crazy idea actually does work. Tried it out and taste improved. Hope it's long lasting.

[@francine8218]

I lost both taste and smell. Miss taste most, half time I don't want to eat because of it

[@frankiefrank4853]

Is anyone upset that the Chinese flights went on for months after they learned of the outbreak?

[@rebeccaedwards8590]

It's been 4 months of no taste or smell...idk if it'll ever come back

[@madamelepine]

I can’t smell but I can only taste . Sour, Spicy, Sweet or Salty. NOTHING has flavor though.
