I had things taste a little like chlorine, or something, for about 3 days. It sucked.

Yep, brainfog and I partially lost taste, only to spicy food!
So I spiced stuff up anormally for like 6-9 months then less and like at 1.5 years it just came back just like before and spicy things are super duper spicy again.
Smell and taste took maybe 3 weeks to come back fully, as far as I can tell.
I found that making myself smell strong things seemed helpful, whether placebo or not. Like whiffs of essential oils and stuff.
The fatigue was the worst part. That took at least a month to get over the hump.
Got covid at least 3 times, maybe more. All 3 were pretty minor. Was pretty much couch ridden for 5 days during one of the illnesses, but could still talk and cook and clean and whatever. It was just hard. The other 2 could have been mistaken for minor colds.
Other than that, no long term effects. My girlfriend also had it and she states her eyesight has taken a nosedive since. Possibly related, possibly not.
I've got the first 2 mandatory (for work) vaccines in Canada, but nothing since.
