Stop in for a cup of coffee

I have a partial can taste spicy stuff. All food though still taste flat or like cardboard to me.
Pretty much cleared up, but I had a problem with taste this week. Not caused by covid though. At least not directly. I've been taking zinc which is supposed to be an immunity boost. Either ones that just say zinc, or Zicam. Both dissolve in your mouth. I also recently had issues with sensitive gums/teeth. I'm sure part of that is cause I am a year overdue for a cleaning. I was scheduled for that the week all the restrictions started here. So, the wife got me some hi-test mouth rinse... I used that and then did a Zicam. Think the combo 'burnt' my tongue a bit. I could still taste, but not as strong as usual, and my tongue felt weird and had a lingering medicinal taste for a week.
