My daughter had COVID very early; March 2023 - she's a teacher surrounded by 5 year old virus generators all day. She lost her sense of taste before it was recognised as a symptom.
It was only in February this year that she said she was back to normal. Prior to that some tastes returned but in weird ways - onions apparently tasted like petrol. Red wine like chocolate.

"Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved."
