Kirk Herbstreit says he's still feeling COVID effects

Imagine going five months without being able to taste food.

That’s life for ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit who recently shared that he is still feeling the effects of COVID five months after testing positive for the virus.

Here is the update from Herbstreit, who is viewed by many as the face of ESPN’s college football coverage, from Tuesday morning.

Been 5 months since I tested positive for Covid. Still can’t taste or smell. Anyone else experience this?? Did it ever come back?? Haven’t tasted a meal since late December. After 5 months…is this my new normal or will taste and smell come back???
