I’ve had these discussions privately with family etc, but, reading some of the stuff that comes out is depressing. Seems like the “metrics” for any kind of normalcy continue to shift toward unreachable territory. Numbers improve, and restrictions relax and now the director of the CDC comes out and throws cold water on all the progress and the opening of things, and how it will undo everything. I mean really? I know there is supposed to be no Covid talk, but it does seem like we slowly continue to push towards metrics that are unattainable as far as a return to normal.

Uhm my wife tested positive Sunday feb 14th... and I tested positive Tuesday Feb 16th... so I’d guess sometime that weekend. I had total taste and smell loss for about a week

Thanks guys. feeling good. Taste and smell has returned about 75%

Mine is today and all I got was a hideous freezing cold day.

When we bought our home in March 2019, our purchase was contingent on my parents selling their home, since they would be moving into the in law downstairs and we would be using some of their sale proceeds to put a down payment. We would literally be laughed at today if we tried to buy a house with that kind of contingency

C+

It’s pretty insane that selling your existing home disqualifies you from buying another one in a lot of cases right now . That seems like pretty commonplace stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever known anyone to buy a home that wasn’t also selling their existing home. Most people don’t have cash of financing on hand for two homes.

So many great courses in this area. We play west Bridgewater CC and olde Scotland links a ton, they are both only like 10 mins from my house. So great

Interior SE Mass has some nice places, and the snow is pretty comparable to Boston in the grand scheme. Raynham, Taunton, Bridgewaters, Easton, Mansfield.

Bulbs starting to poke through the mulch along the house and driveway. We engage in spring.

Currently soliciting quotes to have my house power washed.... bring on spring.

Yeah... I would consider my case pretty mild. Had body aches for like a day and that was it other than taste and smell. It also seems taste lags behind smell. Tonight I had chicken and could smell it somewhat but couldn’t really taste it. I guess it’s good that I’m getting hints of taste and smell at this point. My mother has neither taste or smell back at all yet

I tested positive last Tuesday. Can smell some stuff and taste some stuff but it’s fleeting. Doesn’t last.

Looks like golf season will start probably second weekend in May for me. looks like the college is going to try to get spring sports in; which means pretty much 7 days a week for me from late March through early May.

Thanks... that’s actually not my mower. Just used it to illustrate what I was talking about. Ill do that though. In the spring, I’ll clean it all up and see what happens. Maybe I can buy a new spring and it’ll fit better too. I only bought the damn thing last spring. It has probably 15 hours on it. Wish I wasn’t having these issues.

Anyone here familiar with small engines. I have a Troy bilt mower with a Honda engine. I fixed a gummed up carb today. And when I ran it, it was running at low rpm... so there are two holes on the governor arm, I moved it to the further hole, and it ran at pretty high rpm. Is this bad, or can I leave it? to illustrate below. You can see the linkage in the first hole of the governor arm. I moved it to the second hole. there is now more tension, thus running at higher rpm.

Nice day out... fixed my lawnmower that wouldn’t start for the last mow last year. Carb was full of gunk

Could slightly taste my coffee this morning. Just a tiny bit. for folks that lost taste and smell, how long until it returned?

Pouring rain.

Probably garbage

How long was it gone if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been reading horror stories of people who don’t get it back

He’s fine, Thanks for asking. We are all on the mend, all have no taste and smell though lol

Yeah, we all have varying degrees of cold symptoms... I’m not even sure I’d qualify myself as “sick” but I do have loss of taste and smell. My wife is done with quarantine tomorrow... I guess you aren’t contagious anymore after like 10 days.

That sucks.... my wife myself and both my parents have it right now. The loss of taste and smell is maddening. And so strange at the same time. I literally can’t smell or taste a damn thing
