People with anosmia should make sure to have functioning smoke alarms in their homes at all times. They should also be cautious with food storage and the use of natural gas because they may have trouble detecting spoiled foods and gas leaks.

People without anosmia should make sure they have functioning smoke alarms too.

I'm sure it's possible for you to start a thread about this somewhere on here.This is the coronavirus thread. It is designed to help those who've probably had coronavirus , for a month or two , and are worried .People who have anosmia will be extremely stressed processing what's happening to them, as well as resting and recovering from chronic fatigue.the safety aspects will be last in their mind.
So, this isn't really a thread for the healthy, bored and aimless..

You said people with anosmia should have working smoke alarms, my point was everybody should if they have it or not regardless.
