Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A sudden loss of smell, known as anosmia or hyposmia, could be a symptom of the coronavirus, even if patients experience no other symptoms, according to leading Rhinologists in the UK.
Young people could be more likely to carry the disease without presenting the more commonly-recognised symptoms of fever and coughing, they believe. "In South Korea, where testing has been more widespread, 30% of patients testing positive have had anosmia as their major presenting symptom in otherwise mild cases," President of the British Rhinological Society Professor, Clare Hopkins, and the president of the British Association of Otorhinolaryngology, Professor Nirmal Kumar,The professors said that many patients around the world, who have tested positive for COVID-19, are only presenting the symptoms of loss of smell and taste,...
The lack of other recognised symptoms in these cases may mean they are unlikely to be tested and isolated, meaning they could be contributing to the rapid spread of the disease around the world.

The media ladies and gentlemen, inciting panic and attempting to overwhelm the healthcare system. When will these criminals be held accountable for maliciously spreading misinformation?
What Now u tell us this
What about a 'sudden loss of affection' towards your also isolated wife?
Right!
I'm a hay fever sufferer. The pollen is really high at the moment. I spend most Spring times with a loss of taste and smell. It's a good reason to self isolate, not a good reason to think you've already had it 🧐
JoRoger79045787 we lost our smell & taste!!
This is not normal loss of smell and taste. It is sudden 100% loss of both. Spray perfume in your nose, if you can smell it even slightly then you haven't got Covid.

I lost my taste and smell 28 yrs ago after falling backwards and hitting my head which resulted in a concussion- it’s never fully come back and has been the most difficult adjustment of my life.

Hi! We recently started this tracking project to help collect data on loss of sense of smell/taste. If you have experienced that, please fill it out and help us SHARE. All results will be updated live so everyone can follow. Thank you.

You need to give all the facts because that is also a sinus infection symptom.

megthestylistt robhimsis !!! Maybe you do have it
Total BS. I lost my sense of taste and smell several years ago. It has nothing to do with this virus. Beware the COVIDIOTS and RussianTrolls
Honestly CDC don't know what their doing . The New Corona Covid 19 is related by DNA to SARS . Why is it that the CDC is not recommended that SARS drugs be used to combat Covid 19?
And please note that a HEADACHE IS ALSO APART OF THE SYMPTOMS! I had a headache and a fever of 103 to which a coronavirus hotline told me “don’t worry, it’s probably a flu, headaches are not a part of the symptoms”.... turns out three days later I HAD CORONAVIRUS !
Fuck! My bro hasn’t been able to taste since Last Wed but has recovered. I developed the symptom yesterday, I can partially (%10) taste
Well yay, my coffee today taste just fine ❣️☕️✨
The early symptom like thing is something I am born without. Even more worrying as I live with someone with autoimmune disease. I have no smell or taste but I have been like as long as I could remember.
I’m calling BS on this
Everybody reading this on the toilet “*sniff* NOPE still smell just fine”
_Joorgee_ Just eat a pepper. Guaranteed to bring those senses back 🌶
itstheyrethere I will need all the tasteless people out of my range 😷
Symptoms are different in different people.
Some times they just make up shit !! Ijs they won’t tell you you may not have respiratory symptoms but they gonna say lost of smell hell half of America can smell anyway cause no doctors or health care for the poor & the children couldn’t get to an Allergist. Ijs
DarZahidhamid0
chelseaperetti Now you're going to stress people out who have relatives that already have problems with their sniffer (I'd be that relative). My sense of smell has been bad for a while. Long before CO-VID.
This caught my attention as I know friends who are experiencing these symptoms however it is just now being talked about so it is important to keep up with daily news as the virus evolves. COMM_3321A
I caught a belter of a cold and lost a fair chunk of both senses about 7 or 8 years ago. Had cameras up nostrils, brain scans etc but not a single doctor tested for coronavirus? Should they have?
Every time I get sick I lose my sense of smell and taste...
Oh my
Losing or gaining weight may or may not mean you might could have the coronavirus.
Business Insider is where I go for all of my health advice! 👍

This is scaring me so much can someone help me what to do I’ve have no other symptoms

I cant taste ....

chelseaperetti Articles like this are not helpful or necessary.
could? or is that what it means? enough with the 'maybe' news
AdamJxck
Smith83K Same could be said when you have a cold duh!
Exact thing happened to my sister in December.
Is there any symptom that doesn't mean coronavirus?
navman00
No shit when you have a cold and your sinus is stuffed up you can’t smell anything
TiffanyDCross How about listening to Trump, should I seek medical help?
Maybe it's because lack of toilet paper means they're not wiping their butts, they always stink, and their own smell is dulling the taste buds
JulieSmith2001 What if you have no sense of smell before the Chinese virus occurred?
I’ve completely lost my sense of smell and taste - no other symptoms - is there any evidence that shows this is an early or a late symptom of covid 19?
God bless us all. This is happening now, I fear the left over effects when it passes. Maybe I fear for no reason.
I've had an itchy forceful cough for 2 weeks, but I feel fine but I never leave my room anyways so even if I had this dumb virus then I wouldn't infect anyone. This wouldn't all of happened if they on the east side of the world didn't eat everything that moved.
People on water diet
This is getting harder, people. We need to stand in unity. Do not entertain memes, please!
chelseaperetti Hiddanas I'm sure you've already read something along these lines.
A sudden loss of either would make me go to the dr regardless.
I think you need a little help with coming up with a vaccine for Covid19 so I am going to hypothesize that those with asymptomatic symptoms have their dna analyzed so you can pinpoint why it doesn’t effect them and use that in your vaccine to prevent infection. covid19 cdc

progressvoice sounds like what you were talking about w/ the Chick Fil A. Wish you the best 😷
HillF1 Is this pertaining to not being able to smell BS and some questionable taste in personal conduct? 👍
chelseaperetti Yeah, I totally have it. Trouble breathing, sore throat, and a weird tasting situation. I had just been thinking about that when I read this. Oh well. Guess I'll see in a few hours if I can get a test.
Wow the media is so fuckin ridiculous! So the entire USA that has allergies now thinks they have the damn virus. Just stay home people wash your hands and cough in your elbow If you can’t breathe and are turning purple then that’s when u need to worry !
chelseaperetti I’m not gonna listen to the business insider for my corona news
Well I have sinuses can’t really smell until its a strong smell. This symptoms are tricky
Ok now everything could be a symptom seems like
HillF1 Looks like the vast majority of GMB viewers and piersmorgan fans have COVIDー19 as, clearly, they have no taste

Oh wow interesting !

Is it permanent the loss of smell or taste
Rubbish
That’s what rudygobert27 experiences now
marcusbrig
I've not been able to smell or taste anything for about 5 days & I've had a cold for around 10 days, but feel fine overall. There's 2 children under 5 & 2 adults also in my house with me. Worried about what to do.
Could also be symptoms for a cold just be aware of the other symptoms too and self isolate
SonyaShuler So a simple fart test. And it’s free
Lovely I have no sense of smell in the first place...

Oh God
Even if there is no sense of smell or taste then we need not goto hospital right bcz it will cure on it's own! We have become resistant & can be just carrier right?
I cant taste air
Well, that's new. lol How about your hair gets curly if it was straight and vice versa?
SavithaKartha one more symptoms
Information is important ! But don't let information to make you scared . Its not a sky thing ! We all have been part of this virus before & have been through worse symptoms of Cough & cold or fever but recovered fully ! So there is no need to panic. Take bath & wash your hands.
Don't do this. Some are going to drink the Kool aid.
Well this explains....
This gets scarier!
I really need to stay off the Internet.
leonline2000 riquirrix
Smoking withdrawn symptoms represent the same symptoms however it's improve day by day until 1 week...
liz_muncy How about allergy? It’s spring time, folks.
。。
This is early warning
Why tweet this if people shouldn’t report if it happens to them ? What’s the point ? Putting fear into people fucking stop it man
Good luck getting a test..
_aurielllle
What the fuck! I had these symptoms a month back coz of my sinuses, I believe!
It could also mean you have about 100000000 other things, or maybe health anxiety, delete this tweet 😃
I still smell shit so I guess I'm good
I woke up the other day to the smell of burnt toast....it was so strong it woke me up. No one made or was making any sort of food. It was quite odd.
I can’t smell my fart!!!
This is also a sign of dementia or alzheimers!!
And avoid Chinese Americans who have traveled to China or places where there are a lot of Chinese Americans like New York City
LiamYates5
maybe its bc of how brutal that test is💀💀
FakeNews
Wow
ReadyBroward Come on... Stop being alarmists. Most people with cold symptoms have this.
Charley_j
Oh no, I was wondering why I couldn't taste the Cheetos.
ariana_sneed
I have had this symptom since Friday and it’s Monday, what should I do? Has anyone else experiencing this had any luck getting it back?
Seems like almost any symptom at any given time could be COVID-19. It’s turning into the modern day “Web MD says it might be cancer”. 🥴
TonyTodd54 Good to know, as I was tested for flu but not corona.. couldn’t taste or smell anything for several days, had a fever and a cough. But hey, I’m feeling a little better bc I stayed home. Makes me wonder how many people have had it but couldn’t get tested.
test your senses by using onions. or something minty
RowanShawAuthor This is not a definitive diagnostic criteria unique to COVID19, please stop spreading it as such.
tmendoza4l cdmendoza13
This the most irresponsible piece of information. Not that, it could be true, but idiots with allergies will triage themselves and overrun ER's. Oye.
FML.... Welp
I haven’t been able to smell or taste for around 4 days. Should i panic ? I feel 100% fine besides me not being able to smell or taste.
I lost my taste and smell last month due to cold, still not recovered could it be corona
MannyMua733 didn’t you have this
We can provide masks and protective clothing that meet European CE certification standards.lf you need please contact me
I had this shit and had no idea I had it. I usually tough it out through sickness, but this shit had me questioning going to the ER. Fuck it. I got all the anitbodies now
Sounds like the flu or allergies. Nice fake try though.
My shit smells like shit does that mean I have the Corona
Well that’s no help my nose has been closed for years
Lucy_mccamley uh oh
How do you know if you don't smell anything. What if theres no smell
TonyTodd54
Effing Chinese people...
🔥🔥🔥
highkey worried- I had recently got my sense of taste and smell back like 3 days ago...
*farts in hand. Im still ok here.
rubyjanecisco
Yes guys I have only this ! No smell so yes guys this is a symptom and be cautious and self isolate yourself if you have this symptom it's unbelievable RT AND SAVE LIVES !
Angellight4u I lost mine back in December. I've been told it could be an early sign of Alzheimer's.
Ha this is bullshit. Explain in immunological terms how you lose smell or taste. You can’t.
The reporting on this virus has been wildly inconsistent and is a huge reason we are where we are
A sudden loss of smell or taste can possibly mean a lot of different things, not just coronavirus.
This happened to me about a month ago along with a little congestion. I wonder if I was infected.
Primetime_76 remember you couldn’t taste 👀
I have a loss of brain cells from hearing you fear mongers day after day.
Then I been sick with this coronavirus for 2 years 😫
Just had some JD on rocks. Still tastes the same!
Quit spreading these lies and freaking people out this is why y’all keep buying mountains of toilet paper. Sheeple
I’ve been living like this forever you mean to tell me
I shall swirl and drink wine until I can no longer smell and taste
I'm too young to die

Wow this is getting ridiculous next thing you know if you see blue skies you have corona
creolesebastian
LumpyLouish- I'm so scared of this- I've been eating an M&M about every 2 mins. to check. So far, I still taste them but I'm already into my backup bag! I, too, hope it doesn't end in a burnt one. (At least I'd be able to taste it.) Solidarity WeNeedBernie
jjauthor I am sure I am negative ....sitting home all day all I want to do is eat...🤔
I literally just sniffed my husbands armpits. I’m okay. 🤮
'In young patients, they do not have any significant symptoms such as the cough and fever, but they may have just the loss of sense of smell and taste, which suggests that these viruses are lodging in the nose,'
I have had no sense of smell for two years. So got you beat there
it’s allergy season and i can’t smell anything anyways 😭
caitiecarr96 how are you ever gonna know
Everyone should take antibiotics if the pharmacist can release them with out doctor prescription, it may help
Finally a child cries out, 'But he isn't wearing anything at all!'
Going to the hospital won’t work they won’t test you there 😷🔫
I lost my sense of trust....

Huh, when I was first getting sick I thought I was having a migraine prodome. Then the fever sore throat and cough hit. Definitely not worth going to a doc over but interesting symptom
MelissaLovesHOU Interesting
LauraPrior 👀🥺
Poverty in America will rise to unprecedented heights.
What if your sensory olfactory just.. sucks? Man.. now I will have anxiety whenever I eat something that is not straight up salt.
🤦♂️
Also pollen is in the air this time around.. it could also cause those symptoms.
davejonesmono4
I’ve had this for years then.
ninaturner So if we cant get tests we should try jalapenos or perfume
I've hold up I'm my home due to chest pains for safety reasons, not only to myself but to others, not feeling any of the others, other than I random mild cough, unsure if metallic taste in mouth is symptom as I get that random times.
Are you guys stupid
Can anyone explain if COVID-19 is bad case of Pneumonia and normal cases of it have the similar symptoms a cough, difficulty breathing, a high temperature and chest pain... why doesn’t antibiotics work
I thought this was normal when you get sick
Ooooor the pollen is attacking you. Either one.
If you get a sudden hankering hot cheetohs - CORONA!!!! Jokes aside, as long as you get adequate sleep and eat well you will get through it.
Nephew reported that to 111 yesterday along with a cough. Was told he was panicking and was fine.
What does it matter if you can't get a test unless you're famous or are in some high position?
Had those symptoms last oct
Thanks this is great to know
Rose52413 Or you may have lost your sense of smell because of other factors including, possibly, chronic sinusitis.
isn't that every sickness though?
I saw this on tmz about some basketball player. I thought it was a joke. What the heck? That's crazy.
This could mean sinus blockage.
NayneeGettum 😰
I was sick for 5 weeks with violent cough, fever for 5 days, felt like a brick on my chest and zero tastebuds! I wonder if I had it?
Is it permanent?
All the ignorant people under this, good god. 30% of people report having this symptom, it’s not made up or vague. And so what if other illnesses have this symptom, that doesn’t mean it isn’t the case for this, nor should it discredit it? There are tests for reasons? Do it
This symptoms occurs in normal flu.....or seasonal flu.....not for corona..........this is rumors.... only
Very interesting

Takviri Dokter dirgarambe, apakah ini bisa jadi rujukan?
Most people have mild symptoms. Stay home and medicate like you would with the flu. If it gets worse call your doc. Also, crop dust your friends. If they can’t smell it have them quarantine for 14 days.
My friend is a nurse in San Diego. She lost her sense of smell but her hospital refuses to give her a test. They offer 80 hrs of COVID 19 pay ONLY if you test positive but they REFUSE to test without a fever. Then, they had her work yesterday, exposing everyone else.

bradfordlit Vanilla or white chocolate I CANT TELL.
So much more effective than a test. Thanks for the tip COVIDー19
KatCapps My poodle stinks because I can't take him to the groomer. I guess I'm OK for now.
My nephew and girlfriend in their twenties got sick for a few days during quarantine. Both now feel fine but the sense of smell and taste is coming back slowly.
It gets worse and worse....I’m about to lose my mind!!!
jwgop DO NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL REPORTING THAT YOU CAN’T SMELL OR TASTE. Thank you.
What if you forget how to pee?
SheilahBird And it could mean you have a common cold. Or you are taking certain medications for irregular heartbeat. Or that you have allergies and nasal polyps. Or that you are using nasal sprays or drops for congestion. Or that...Wait! Why are you putting out this useless information?
So why won't they test you ....
Hahaha Courteous enough not humiliate people .... ... I prefer rectifying such in private. Kenyan
If you think you have coronavirus right now. Odds are you don’t. Stop panicking.
I still taste my good french food. Thanks god. God bless Italy they zre really struggling
New symptom got now what’s really we on this is a major issue with panic now how can you isolate the symptom and fear ehhh
