With the amount of infections you're pretty much guaranteed weird reactions like this.

It could be the person's biology or a mutation.

It's why you have to be vigilant with any new virus.

Can we expedite this patch to the antivaxxers

Did she regain her ability to speak? I can’t seem to find that info in the article.

Not nearly on the same level but COVID completely changed my vocal range and it hasn't come back. I sing much lower and can't do falsetto at all anymore

What a weird virus. It seems like everything about it is so random.

Like when I had it, instead of loosing my taste, everything was super salty and bitter. My doctor friend said he had a patient that had that same symptom and joked that he kept telling his wife she’s cooking the food and other too much salt before they realized he had Covid.

That IS weird.

The strangest experience for me was that, despite having respiratory issues my whole life (RSV as an infant), it didn't affect my lungs at all. The muscles in my neck and shoulders were basically paralyzed for two weeks and I couldn't turn my head....but 0 breathing issues.
