I had COVID-19 and lost almost all smell senses (no symptoms of a stuffy nose or mucus). I could still taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami. But I could not tell you where those tastes came from. It was difficult to cook in that time, and food was very bland and meaningless. Lasted for about a week.

I could smell laundry detergent very faintly so I know I had not completely lost the sense. I also felt a pain in the back of my nose/top of head as if I had water go up it, so I assume something was irritating that part of my nose. A dry cough has started to take place only after the fever stopped and I noticed my breathing is a bit harder than before the virus took over.
