I can't find any mention of RSV causing loss of smell or taste. In fact, it seems that a lot of information out there indicates that loss of taste or smell is sort of a hallmark of vivid as it is not something that happens with other viruses. Is loss of taste or smell actually rather common?

Loss of smell (anosmia) is a symptom of many other viruses.
