OAWRS Staff Member Shares Experience Battling COVID, Loss of Taste & Smell

On Air With Ryan Seacrest staff member Jon Comouche has tested positive for COVID-19. Comouche shared with Ryan Seacrest that he and his roommates are battling the ongoing virus together at home.

"I live with a house of five guys … and we had symptoms," Comouche shared. "The first two days we definitely had all the flu symptoms you hear about."

Common signs and symptoms can include fever, cough, tiredness, muscle aches and chills. Other more serious symptoms can include shortness of breath or difficulty breathing and chest pain and loss of taste and smell.

"That's the only thing that's really hitting the hardest is I can’t smell or taste anything," Jon added, revealing he appears to be on the mend in regards to the other symptoms.
