    No mention of sensory loss. Even for mild COVID cases, that's the most prominent non-respiratory symptom and the most distinct one.

      hmm, that's true but check this out (October 2019)

      Vaping teens are dealing with a side effect called 'vape tongue,' and doctors still don't know the long-term consequences

      • During a Colorado vaping focus group for teens, many young vapers said they had experienced vape tongue, a condition where vape juice desensitizes a person's tongue so they can't taste flavors, according to The Wall Street Journal.
      • Vape juice ingredients can coat the tongue so taste buds can't receive flavor signals.
      • Compared to vape-related symptoms like a chronic cough, trouble breathing, and nausea, vape tongue is a lesser-discussed side effect, perhaps because it typically resolves on its own.

        Regardless of COVID's origins, I propose we still call it vape tongue.
