I am recovering from Covid now (I believe the Omicron variant). One odd thing was that I never lost my sense of taste or smell (maybe that's not as common with Omicron or maybe because I was vaccinated). I don't believe I will have any long term effects, but it is too soon to tell. I believe I contracted Covid at a party on Christmas day (2 weeks ago). I first experienced symptoms and tested positive on the 30th. As of yesterday, I am still testing positive.
