Thought this was interesting. Seems even asymptomatic people may show this one even if they have no other signs.

I am still of the opinion that probably 100,000 or more people in the US have or had the virus already but it was never identified so the death rates and percentages of violently ill people being tossed around are vastly inflated.

I'm going to bet this turns out to be nothing particularly useful, especially for being more represented in otherwise asymptomatic people. Mainly because loss of taste and smell tends to go along with age. The patients are likely all younger because the old folks don't notice losing what they didn't have or didn't have a lot of. So they self select themselves out of the pile of possible complainers.
