It's one of the most confusing and frustrating symptoms and long-term effects of a COVID-19 infection: loss of taste or smell. Stop and think about that for a second: what would it be like to not be able to smell fresh baked bread or the perfume of a loved one, taste sweet chocolate ice cream or a slice of pizza dipped in ranch dressing — or worse, what if those smells or tastes repulsed you?
We speak with a St. Louis woman who's dealing with that more than 6 months after her positive COVID-19 test, plus two local doctors who explain what we're learning about the phenomenon and how they're trying to treat it.
Ahead of the holiday weekend, we have a roundup of tasty food news and your fireworks weekend planner!

Plus we'll give you an ALL GOOD NEWS(!) update and weekend planner that is (we’d like to think) Simone Biles approved.
