My friend hasn't tasted or smelled for 2 years. The fatigue is still quite prevalent too.

But is it half of your friends? Nowhere near half of the people in my network have ended up with LC.

That you know of. The impairments may not always be obvious.

Up to half in 3 months is simply not a believable figure/statement based on real world anecdotal experience - and how can "unrealized symptoms" not impacting life functions in any way as implied by some be measured from a practical perspective? Also agreed that "up to half" could technically mean anything less than 50% but implies something close to 50% or the statement is meaningless.
