People Are Showing How Little They Can Taste Due To Coronavirus

As the Coronavirus pandemic has spread across the world, we’ve come to learn that one of the symptoms of the virus is losing all sense of taste and smell for some reason and people have now decided to make a challenge out of this by producing videos displaying just how shot their taste buds are courtesy of the virus.

You can watch a whole bunch of these videos of people downing a whole bunch of combinations of disgusting stuff like hot sauce, shots of vinegar, onions, lemons, shots of whiskey, shots of vodka, mustard and chili in the videos below that are doing the rounds on TikTok and Twitter. They definitely have no idea what they’re swallowing – or their senses don’t at least.

The challenge was kicked off by Andy Goldstein:

First tweet in forever- things I can’t taste after may or may not having corona virus (fairly mild symptoms) but no taste or smell for 4 days now! @andygoldstein05 #icanttasteanythingchallenge pic.twitter.com/eYYB5Q1LWi

Heard there’s a little taste challenge going around. As I’m on day 12 of not smelling or tasting anything, I thought I’d give it a go 😂 pic.twitter.com/WH1apSGtCs

Geez that really is rank isn’t it? I suppose you could argue that they’re faking it for some reason, but you’ve gotta hope that people won’t be driving up the panic and paranoia in these times just so they can get some more views on their channels, right? Surely not?
