It wasn't just food. It was supermarkets, the smell of cars going past it all made him retch. I didn't know what to do or what it was.

Loss of taste and smell are common symptoms of COVID-19. For most people who experience these problems, their senses eventually return to normal after a period of time.
The boy was hospitalized in late October but doctors told the family that nothing seemed to be immediately wrong after several blood tests were taken and he was discharged. "He was initially put on IV fluids but that was taken out the next day and he's just been deteriorating every day. He's lost a significant amount of weight, a huge amount."
