It is hard to believe we are entering our third year of the COVID-19 pandemic; Rhinology was one of the first journals to highlight the association between COVID-19 and loss of smell and taste(1, 2) and articles on olfactory dysfunction (OD) continue to make up a significant proportion of our submissions. Lee et al. present detailed electron microscopy images showing loss of the normal olfactory epithelial architecture, with the invading SARS-CoV-2 virus clearly pictured. Bhutani et al. studied self- reported loss of smell after COVID-19 infection, finding similar rates in those with and without obesity, which add further ‘weight’ against a higher prevalence of loss of sense of smell in more severe COVID-19 disease.
