The 1st guy amongst us got ill about 2weeks ago but he recovered almost immediately as it came. He coughs and have catarrh too which i believe he transmitted to me and the last guy.
I didn't know i lost my sense of smell until the last guy called my attention to it. He asked if i could percieve the smell of his perfume and i told him no. We assumed it is expired, tried my own but still no smell and then the last guys own.
No smell is also coming from our cream, soap and room freshener. That is how i knew we lost our smelling sense.
I jokingly said to him maybe the first guy have contracted corona virus and shared with us unknowingly.... We laughed about it but deep within i'm serious about it but didn't want to cause panic.
I don't know if it is just the catarrh or there is more to it.
Catarrh never do me like this before o

And sometimes while breathing, it will feel as if someone sprinkled pepper in my nose.

this is serious. You should all isolate yourselves. this may not be serious. The first dude recovered so just treat malaria.

Loss of sense of smell and change in taste combined with breathing problem is a definitive symptom of Covid 19 and not Malaria. The good news is that you guys are probably only exhibiting mild symptoms.

Do you have any other symptom apart from loss of smell and catarrh? i.e fever, diarrhea, weakness, sore throat, cough, body pains, feeling of weight in chest

I used to have sore throat but i'm free from that now...
The symptoms we are all having now is cough and catarrh with loss of smell. Only the 1st guy had malaria but now recovered

Take plenty vitamin c, treat malaria, you will recover fully.

When I started seeing people complaining I had to distance myself from him a little bit cos I don't want to have corona and our parent are not taking him serious they are even asking him who have him corona virus
