19-Year-Old TikToker Realizes She Lost Her Sense of Taste

A teen who thought she was just filming a bit for TikTok ended up recording the exact moment she discovered she had a tell-tale COVID-19 symptom. Maryn Short, 19, was sampling what was supposed to be a sweet drink when she discovered she couldn’t taste a thing. In that moment, Short tells Inside Edition, she realized an awful truth. Short quickly went to get tested, and it came back positive for COVID-19. She is now quarantined at home in Louisiana, and documenting her struggle on TikTok.

Finally. A cheap and delicious way to check if you are covid.

A nice Dunkin Donuts iced coffee with a shot of espresso will do the trick for me!

Maybe if one loses their ability to taste they would be less inclined/motivated to poison themselves with such foods/drinks. Just trying to look at the bright side of getting a potentially deadly virus. Have a nice day

Oh wow, for her to say she's really starting to feel the gravity of what Covid means because she can't taste her damn chocolate peanut butter cups does not say a lot about kid's awareness at that age.

That's not what she says at all. It was the thing that alerted her to the fact that she has the virus so it's something she talks about. And I'm sure it's a pretty jarring symptom. But to think that means it's the only thing that's worrying her is not justified. I'm sure she's worried about all sorts of things. She's reacting properly, got tested, she's isolating.

She's doing everything right and putting the message out there for others to do the same. Why did you feel the need to take her out of context to try to belittle her?

Ya, I looked at that part of the video again and while I stand my my overall impression, it's not her fault, it's the way the news has cut a clip of her talking about how she can't taste chocolate with a voice-over of her learning to "take the virus seriously."
