I had it, caught in early January of this year, and had no sense of smell, or taste, until early July.
Yup, lost almost 25 lbs., with no real exercise, aerobic, weights or otherwise, due to NO desire to eat at all, until hunger pangs set in, and even then, much less than I used to consume.
My worry now is how much of that loss was any muscle mass, and not body fat, and was there any permanent alveoli damage done which would curtail the hard aerobic/anaerobic activity I want to get back into.
(Undergoing tests with a pulmonologist currently to determine whether this is the case, or not.)
