    On 04-25-20, WARD DOSSCHE said to DANIEL:

    My sense of smell has drastically improved.


    Fascinating. Someone I know who had it says his sense of smell is drasatically
    reduced. And thusly, his sense of flavor when he's eating too.


    That is correct too.


    Right after being hospitalized I thought the coffee we got tasted like WD>piss while others thought it was excellent.


    Now I think it's OK again.


    I was in the hospital myself recently. Had to go in late at night.


    I learned three things from the experience;


    My heart is in pretty good shape for my age (almost 79);


    I did NOT have coronavirus;


    They didn't know WHAT was wrong!


    They wanted to keep me overnight but I refused to stay. If the bed they
    had me laying on was any hint of what the one in a room would be like, I had rather be in my own bed!


    Came home and after a day or so was much better.

    Tim,

    They didn't know WHAT was wrong!

    That confirms our suspicions ... we don't know either what's wrong with you. 8-)

    But hang-in there, even if I don't share some of your views.

    While most folks have not had the same experience as you,
    many who have have wondered if they might have to go through
    it all over again. Well, I've got good news for you.

    Scientists have concluded that those who have had it, and
    recovered, cannot get it again. Real scientists, not the fakes.

    A number of reported cases of coronavirus patients relapsing after
    overcoming the disease were actually due to testing failures, South
    Korean scientists say.

    Researchers at the South Korean centre for disease control and
    prevention (CDC) now say it is impossible for the COVID-19 virus to
    reactivate in human bodies.

    [..]

    A total of 277 patients in the country were believed to have fallen ill
    for a second time, as had patients in China and Japan. This prompted
    concerns that the virus could be mutating so quickly that people were
    not necessarily immune to catching it again.

    However, genetic analyses of the virus have not found any substantial
    changes which would effectively disguise it from the immune system.

    In a sense, you can consider yourself lucky. On the other hand,
    a vaccine (if a vaccine is found) will not do you any good.

    They must have suspected something based on your symptoms and what you told them
    how you were feeling. No?

    I'm fine now given my age. I did more with a new type of heating pad
    than several doctors and a bunch of nurses managed to do! Feel a lot
    better and have gone back to the usual activities. Try to keep busy.

    Glad to hear you're okay Tim.
