Sharon, my wife, was diagnosed with it a month ago. Came on suddenly at work one Monday. She stayed home for a week, lost most of her taste but gained it back as she recovered. I did not catch it. I may have in the beginning and not known it but if so, I didn’t get the reaction or the symptoms that many did.
Surprising considering I know my mother has sent off DNA to companies that research family lineage in the past.
If that were to be a factor, you would think I would be more apt to catch it in the bad way,
