If you don't mind, can you please share your age or a ballpark estimate? It seems like you are doing well and just had the minor symptoms.

Sure, I'm in my early 30s. I do believe I had a pretty mild case all things considered, and I'm pretty much fully recovered at this point but still plan to quarantine for another week.
What I experienced was basically indistinguishable from a mild cold except for the loss of smell and taste, which took over a week to show up after the onset of the initial symptom (a fever). While I know loss of smell can happen from non-COVID infections, I can say this is the only time in my life I've had a total loss of all smell and taste. I'm very fortunate that this total loss only persisted for a few days, and at this point based on my subjective experience my smell and taste senses appear to be normal again.
