Coronavirus.

I still haven't had the coronavirus yet. According to rumors, due to illness, you completely lose the ability to feel smells and tastes is it true? And they come back after you recover or not, do you know? I don't want to Google because I know that I will read something terrible because of which I will not be able to sleep later.

Rather depends on a few factors doesn’t it?

FACTors

Don't Google it, Duck Duck Go it

People who lose their sense of taste and smell v people who've lost their minds

Tea Leaf Readers v Sars-Cov 2
( extra time being played , for a lucky few )

Maybe it's time to buy in that really healthy food that you can't stand eating. Then if you do lose your senses you can gorge on it to help you recover

You can Google pica though

Losing sense of taste and smell is usually an early symptom, as in for many it is the first thing that makes them aware they have covid.
I've not heard of many cases where the senses don't return after a week or two, but I do know somebody who said their taste still feels dulled after several months.

Have decided I'm going to risk an indoor gig in November.

Since I won't be eligible for a booster jab and this winter is predicted to be utter shite, I have a feeling I might not want to go to the ones I have booked for Jan/Feb so I might as well take advantage of my vaccine protection whilst it's up there, plus I REALLY want to see Don Broco live and they're playing my favourite venue (Rock City in Nottingham)! I'll be masked up and on the balcony if possible.

Plus everything I've booked (ticket, hotel) is refundable should I change my mind or if things start to look a bit too hairy.

How!? There’s nothing to do here that would cause spread

Unless it’s a case of: all the people in cities have already had it by this point, so only the sleepy towns are left

Aren't we the 5th?

I'm just quoting what it says in the article, "Stafford (324.2 to 519.4) is now the third fastest rising area in the entire country, behind two areas of Wales."

I had noticed a pretty big spike on the Covid ZOE app 'local area' data recently but was hoping it was an anomaly.
