I can't smell a thing but can still taste.

Been ill for about 4 days.

Have you tested for Covid ?
Symptoms vary person to person

No.

Don't have any.

Your sense of smell and taste are linked, and you can lose your sense of smell but still be able to taste some things. They just won't taste quite like they do when your sense of smell is working normally.

I lost my sense of smell years ago, and I had to re-learn what things taste like all over again.

You can lose your sense of smell with a cold, and taste.

Yes, I did with Covid a couple of times. Try some salt, then try eating English mustard. If you can eat a jar of mustard and also taste the salt, you've lost smell.
