映画ファンタスティック・ビースト・シリーズの主要人物クイニー・ゴールドスタイン役を演じるアリソン・スドルがインスタグラムで自身の健康状態をシェアしました。

どうも新型コロナウィルス感染者と同じ「味覚・嗅覚が全くない」という症状があるとのことです。







投稿によると…

初めは風邪かと思ったが、味覚と嗅覚を全く失ったそう。
「ニンニクや強烈なユーカリも全く臭わず、味もなく、水槽を頭からかぶったような感じ」

それに「倦怠感がある」とのこと。

新型コロナウィルス の検査は受けていないそうです。

その理由は、検査の数が限られているのでもっと必要とする人に譲りたい、検査に行った医療機関で誰かを感染させたり、自分が感染していなかった場合にそこで感染したくはないから、とのこと。

感染したかもしれない経緯については心当たりがなく、現在は友人の農場で自己隔離をして回復に向かっているとのこと。

ニューヨークタイムズ紙の記事によると、新型コロナウィルスの症状は咳や熱だけではなく、嗅覚・味覚障害もあるので気をつけて欲しいし、そのような症状が出たら家に帰って自己隔離をするように呼びかけています。

hi again friends. So I wanted to share an update as I know I’ve been super quiet. Am coming out of a bit of a haze. I haven’t been tested for Coronavirus, tests are hard to come by, and I haven’t wanted to a) take tests away from people who need it more b) risk going into a hospital and potentially catching it if I have not indeed had it. I am in the slightly higher risk category, have to be quite careful. Anyways, whether I’ve had it for certain or not, I just wanted to share my experience with you, as this virus is a bugger & it seems like it may present in different ways than just the awful cough and fever that we have all been on alert to look out for. And if we don’t know we have it, we can spread it, which is the bigger problem. Who knows where I might have caught it from- I had been out and about, taking the overground, went to a play, this was before I knew how contagious it was, before it ripped through London like wildfire. I used hand sanitizer what I thought was religiously, washed my hands till they cracked, but still… We touch our faces without realizing it all the time. At first I came down with what I thought was a cold, then I lost my sense of taste and smell. Absolutely gone. Couldn’t smell garlic, smoke, super strong eucalyptus, absolutely nothing. No taste. It was like my head was in a fish tank. And I was exhausted. Went into isolation out of the city at my wonderful friends farm, which has been the greatest gift.A few days ago, a friend sent me an article, similar to the one I posted from The NY Times, saying the virus could preset as lack of taste/smell and nothing else 🤯 OH! So maybe that was it? I have no idea why it didn’t hit harder but I am counting my lucky stars it wasn’t worse + that I isolated when I did. It’s hit some loved ones much harder, so scary. Going to continue in isolation, am lucky enough to be able to stay where I am, and am feeling much better thankfully, but I’m worried about everyone else.If you have lost your sense of smell or taste & not isolating, please go home & isolate- even if you feel fine! Let’s look out for each other. Sending big love and hope you’re keeping safe out there x
