I know this theory has been bandied about for months, but honestly it checks out. Thoughts?

That happens to the majority of humans when they get influenza. It's highly rare for a person to not lose their taste and smell when influenza becomes strong enough to sicken the human.

Those people wearing mask alone in their car, they don't remember conversations from last week.
Doubt. I have never completely lost taste and smell with any other sickness in all my years dude, it may be a lesser smell or taste but it has never gone totally away and I find it extremely bizarre.
COVID has yet to be recorded taking all sense of taste or smell.
Influenza also does not completely remove taste and smell. Those senses are just suppressed.
Whatever you wanna call it. I personally could not taste or smell anything for a week. It was highly strange and it reminded me of the saying, 'turns to ash in your mouth.' It was like my brain knew the taste but I physically couldnt touch it. Idk what to call that and I never wanna feel it again. It was weird and I'm dramatic but I don't think im overreacting in my assumption based on experience.
Sure, if my head is stuffed the smell world gets quiet. But with a clear nose and throat, taste and smell worked.
