Ah, I didn't look at the dates very closely, thanks for clarifying. I didn't lose my smell after having covid, but I know others did, and I'd honestly forgotten about that symptom until you mentioned it.

No worries man, I had just seen it before and recognized the context. I didn’t lose my sense of smell when I had covid either, but everything tasted awful.

So weird that they considered Covid Elf a class back then..

It’s all a blur in my head. I thought we were well into omicron territory by late 2021.
