Anyone ever completely loss smell/taste?

Yep, I've got Coronavirus and I have experienced a complete loss of sense of smell. I have read today that for some people that is the only symptom they have, and they should self isolate as they are a carrier

Thanks guys. I spoke with my GP and he said it sounds like Sinusitis and prescribed me antibiotics. So I'm hoping over the next few days it clears up. The only reason I thought it may not be Corona Virus is because I was in close contact with mum/sister and they're showing no symptoms. This was over 2 weeks ago now.

Fit as a fiddle, no smoking, rarely drink. I've been on antibiotics for 5 days and nose is still stuffy but I'm able to smell things little by little.
