• “They tend to be distraught about the loss of sense of smell. It’s such an important part of our every day and what makes us human,” Jafari said, adding that he’s treated a professional chef, a chocolatier and others whose livelihoods depend on their ability to determine smell and flavor. “The most common thing I hear is that it leads tosocial isolationand feeling disconnected from the world and society as they know it. And that can be really bothersome.”
  Jafari said many patients also describe a transition period “that can be distressing” as their sense returns in which they smell things that aren’t present — like burning rubber or smoke — or experience abnormally foul smells.
  People who are unable to smell or sense flavors can have higher rates ofpsychiatric illness,depressionandanxiety,Jafari said. In an extreme case, Jafari said he treated a patient who becamemalnourishedafter losing the senses of smell andtaste.
  Smell underlies the way we interact with each other and make our way in the world, dictating “yourfirst impressionsof other people, the people we choose for sexual encounters or for lifelong partners,” Patel said.

• “Many previous studies have shown that objective smell testing can identify far more people with smell loss than if we asked them to self-report,” wrote Professor Song Tar Toh, an author of the study and head of the the department ofOtolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery atSingapore General Hospital,in an email. “The true number of people affected is likely to be far higher than our estimate.”
  Patel suspects the true rate of smell dysfunction among those who have experienced Covid-19 could be above 20%. It could be that women are not more likely to struggle with recovery, but are more perceptive of a prolonged deficit in their ability to smell.
  “Womenoverall, have, on average, a more acute sense of smell thanmen,”Patel said. “We know people with a more acute sense of smell and taste are much more likely to recognize when they have a loss and are more likely to seek care for a loss.”
