That's even better - it means the people with Covid won't even realise how badly they smell, while the people without infection will keep away from them. (The mass media information on Covid seems to give the impression that an infection means you either have little or no symptoms, you get it seriously and are hospitalised and recover, or you get it very seriously and die. People then think "I'm under 30 - my risk of dying is 0.2% so Covid is of no risk to me". I believe there should be more emphasis placed on figures for long-term health problems such as lung problems, fatigue, and loss of smell. When you realise the risk of such things, taking a gamble on not dying is less attractive.)
