Been down sick for 3 days. Took a COVID-19 test yesterday; it came back negative. Doesn't explain why I can't taste or smell anything, though. Think I'll schedule a retest.

Appreciate the thoughts, everyone. Just rebooked both of us for testing again tomorrow, so we'll see what shakes out. We're being very careful about this as my wife had COVID last February when we still didn't really know what was going on, so neither of us wants to take any chances. The most annoying part is that the symptoms are mostly-interchangeable with colds and the 'flu, and not everyone will have the same (or any) symptoms, so it's hard to tell what it is that I'm potentially dealing with.
The loss of smell and taste is what has me most concerned, though - I've been using increasingly-insane amounts of different hot sauces on things to try to get a read on where that one sits, and so far I'm getting a lot of heat with very little to no flavour. Did manage to successfully mace myself with udon steam last night, though, so at least my eyes are working properly.
