Yes Annie0710, it's a symptom. No taste, no smell, but a horrible taste in the mouth.
Thing is, they don't know how this virus reacts to everyone, because everyone has slightly different symptoms, apart from the cough, ( but not everyone has a cough, nearly all do, but there is a proportion who don't) and a high fever. Anything you else you get, is just a bonus, unfortunately. 😢
Thank you Barnacle. Xx
