Yes u got it, around five weeks ago, dats when I encountered mine too.

But what do you mean by the Chinese Doctor s, are they here to spread disease or what?

Am just thinking out loud.
It's too much of a coincidence.
It was immediately they arrived these weird symptoms started.
Just wondering

I thought I was the only one experiencing this.it all started with catarrh,sneezing and malaria symptoms,nothing out of the ordinary.As soon as I started taking malaria drugs the catarrh and sneezing stopped now I still had the chills,sweating and body pain then severe sore throat followed.My partner who we do supplies together also came down with malaria and typhoid but she didn't have catarrh or sneezing.I have lost my sense of taste and smell.Malaria symptoms have reduce and sore throat gone cause I am on my second dose of malaria drugs but I haven't regained my sense of taste and smell. I almost burnt down my house this morning while warming rice and when I got to the kitchen I couldn't smell anything.I have experienced loss of smell in the past but that was when I had severe catarrh and it was not completely gone like this

Thanks to the op many people are coming out of their shell. I hardly fall sick and I praise God for the blessing. Money is not only the blessing God can give. Good health, peace of mind, favour etc are some of his other blessings.

If you feel/believe you, your family, and other people you know are infected with Covid19, whether you're recovering on your own or not, please isolate for the required number of days.

There are cases where people recover but still able to infect others because of the long incubation period of the virus.

Btw, I believe there are other things other than Covid that can cause collective loss of smell but if you cant test, then isolate as much as possible.
my started fever after I when to the market without nose mask. I awoke up a fever in the morning, the next was head. Another day, I can't eat food no appetite. I was not taking it seriously because he doesn't hold me down. Another day I couldn't feel taste of food and same time I can't smell anything. I got some herbs, cook and take when it's hot. Just few days later I can perceived and taste food.

This is interesting.

I started feeling weird a little over 2 weeks ago. General body weakness. It felt like I was dragging my body. Days later, chest area felt soothing heat with a tinge of headache.

I called a doctor who prescribed Swidar, some multivitamin tablets. I felt relief 2 days later but I perspired a whole lot for same number of days. I then noticed I lost sense of smell totally.

Corinna virus is over hyped here in Africa. Believe me more than 76% Lagosians has contracted by one means or other. But their immune system fought and beat it out.

I noticed it in my body twice and just drank a lot of water and fluids, I didn't even use Vit C and it left.

If you don't chronic or complicated health records, there is 99% chance that you willneasily overcome it in this part of the world.

It has come to stay, we are already getting use to it too.
when you say it has come yo stay, you talking about staying like Malaria??

See this whole crowd just confessing to the fact they had or have this virus. Wow, really?

In addition, during this period, I was frequently hungry and I ate a whole lot too.

I recently regained my sence of smell and taste, but its not due to d corona virus.. though path of the symptoms but its caused by cold in the body.. you should get ur smell and taste receptors working after a week or two.. get a drug for cold.

There are several factors that leads to loss of sense of taste and smell, it happened to me in 2018 after visiting Enugu and lasted for 3 weeks, recently after taken the malaria drug Lonart DS, I immediately lost my sense of smell. I am not bothered, happy to pass decayed fish , rat , foul smelling farts and not smelling a thing

My brother had similar experiences some days ago,but we cannot ascertain it was corona that caused it for everyone because loss of sense of smell n taste can be caused by a whole lot of other things too..generally no cause for alarm

The fact that it's rampant now signifies the same thing: Coronavirus.

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.
Colleagues at work complained of this today. I have no idea what it is.

mine was total o. As harsh as the smell of Gaelic and ginger, I couldn't perceive it. My taste was completely gone, I felt like I was drinking water all through, not even the slightest taste

Same with me. I hate the smell of garlic ordinarily, I wouldn't go closer to whoever ate it. But I drank warm water prepared with garlic, ginger and turmeric, it was only the pepper that I felt a bit. It was as if I was drinking water. I couldn't even perceive the smell, but I can now.

Then you should be a fake pharmacist. Pronouncing someone a covid-19 carrier without proper testing.


Your license should be seized.

When the truth of the situation comes out, then you change your mind again.... funny people
Don't u have small sense,cant he suspect someone of been a carrier again using symptoms?

When people say i get really surprised cuz I've never treated malaria in my life.
incogni2o:
I think its cos the average nigerian has gone tru a lot.

Thats why the virus doesnt seem to affect us that much.

An average Nigerian(African ) has treated Malaria more than ten times.

An average European hasn't even for once.

Chloroquine treats Malaria right ?

I didn't even know it was a symptom of the virus, I was just scared cause I have never experienced such before. I went to the pharmacy and was given drugs and started recovering after about one week. My smell is still not back completely and I still feel sick especially at night. But its much better now

It wasn't earlier announced. The moment I had it in April, I went on Google and read that they were researching on it. The UK just announced it on Twitter last week as part of the symptoms. The reason for the delay was because many people complaining about the loss of sense of taste and smell didn't show the other symptoms of corona.

Interesting! So why do people still believe that COVID 19 is a scam? It's here for real as I've always known. We're just lucky that our traditional methods of dealing with malaria and flu which are the major symptoms have worked for most people.

Anyway, the Lagos Commissioner for Health told us before that many will have it without knowing because the symptoms will be mild.
