The things we often take for granted are very important.

See how many people are looking for their sense of smell and taste.

After all this is over, let's learn to appreciate the little things.
Yes ooo.
*Appreciation" is the word.
The experience made me belief more in;
"Every single part of our body matters"!
Just loss of sense & taste, and I felt so unease.
Sickness ain't a good thing abeg.
May God heal all the sick.

Shit!! I thought I was the only one experiencing this stuff. It started like a mild malaria me that don't get sick on a regular. But after I took malaria drugs I was better but I later discovered that I couldn't smell or taste anything.. Since Saturday! It's super weird..
Those that have passed through it please what drugs did you take to get ur sense of smell and taste back.. I'm not comfortable with this

Well done. For going to the office with your symptoms and possibly infecting others.

Really!! FYI I told my boss I'd lost my sense of smell and he still insisted I continue working that's it's probably just a cold or something and who knows, maybe I even got it from someone at work and infected my sister who hasn't been out of the house since the lockdown started. One cant really be too careful and stop going about trading blames or guilt tripping people.

my sore throat have refused to go for over 2months now. Our toilet is a bit public and smells so bad but I do sit there now and chat on WhatsApp for 45mins! No smell! My fine perfume and horrible armpit all have no smell or odour anymore. But surprisingly, no headache, fever or anything of that nature. I'm fit as fiddle. Could Africans be immune to Covid or is it God's mercies? I think most of us got Covid and survived it without any qualms. Thank you Jesus!

Because the COVID-19 response in Nigeria has been so heavily politicized and stigmatized. Unfortunately.

I think this is one of the most truthful forum concerning the COVID-19 scenario in Nigeria.
There is massive community explosion and people are only able to talk freely because it's a faceless forum.
I have family members with loss of smell and /or taste as far back as February 2020. Never for once doubted it did not need an Italian to bring the virus to Nigeria ; Nigerians visiting China full ground!!

That's one of the things the ncdc DG mentioned yesterday; people are not coming forward for testing. We don't believe in anything in this country sad

How about Brazil, they also fall within the tropical zone but the virus has ended the lives of over 20,000...
So what makes Africa different..
Why it's just theory..
We shd come up with other theories

South America is the wettest continent and Africa is the third driest continent and the second driest inhabited continent. The Atacama is more scorching than the Sahara, although the South of South America (Patagonia) is much colder than the South of Africa (South Africa) because it is much closer to Antarctica.

I guess that shd explain it
Take a ruler, Google a map of the world n see the positioning of both countries and see that Nigeria is closer or the equator( than the whole of Brazil).. The entire Brazil as a whole..
Focus on the part below the equator...
Anyways the afformention wettness of South America has said it all..
No I still stand on this theory
But in all, we are so lucky in Africa.. Otherwise we will be counting millions of dead people considering our poor health facilities in Africa as whole...
Guys if u have other theories let's share

exactly what is happening in Anambra state ,a large percentage of Onitsha residents treat malaria with a similar symptom you mentioned with cold, and it happened within the same time.Honestly am asking can it be the same thing we are running from?

same thing happened to me. I had malaria symptoms, pains in my joints, slight headache, and a little chest pain.did not loose my breathe. but little climbing step and I will just be breathing like I ran 100 metres. I took malaria medicine and gradually it progressed to slight headache no chest pain and complete loss of smell and partial loss of taste. can taste salt and sugar but not the flavour in a meal. infact it's just like tasting the salt used to prepare any food. now I have regained the my tasting and smelling ability, but now I have mucous like feeling in my nose but no mocous and a feeling of coughing, but no cough.

The same symptoms, I took malaria drugs and I was fine but "I have mucous like feeling in my nose but no mocous and a feeling of coughing, but no cough" this still continues

Almost everyone in my family and church have lost their sense of smell and taste and recovered recently....which is a symptom of corona virus.

Are we all infected and recovering on our own?
after all there is a 98% recovery rate.

My mum experience such recently but has recovered,a doctor said its acute malaria,did u go for test?
Re: Who Else Has Lost Sense Of Smell And Taste? by Endyjay(m): 6:34am On May 29, 2020
If any body is having such symptoms, do the following and u will be okay.
Get garlic, ginger ( say #100 each ), orange peel (skin of orange) and lemon peel.
slice and boil everything in a pot.
Inhale the steam while it is very hot. Drink a small quantity of the liquid (about half a glass) when it is warm.
Do it morning and night for three days.
If you want to continue, throw it away and buy another one.

It happened to me on 16 May, and was the ONLY symptom. Went for a test the next day and it came back positive as i had expected, cos i have never had Anosmia in my 35yrs on planet earth. Got my sense of smell back one week after without any medication aside my normal high strength vit c supplement i take daily. Isolated myself from family since then. No one else has any symptoms. Will retake the test by Sunday, and i'm confident it will be negative. Most people already have or had covid and have recovered without knowing. I already knew sha, even before the test.

But they said no one knows no one who knows anyone.
