He did not even get very sick, he was tired and had a runny noise for about 5 days, but he lost his sense of taste. And he still hasn't gotten it back, and it's been a month now since his other symptoms subsided. It is really freaky and is making him miserable. He's 60, so he's not even that old, nor is he immunocompromised.

That's why I still wear a KN95 mask, even though I'm vaccinated and had both boosters.
