Is Delta still around?

I thought 99% cases were Omicron now (can't remember where I heard that). But I can't find any data. I am coming towards the end of isolation and very definitely have massive taste and smell changes. It's the most unpleasant symptom
yet. But everything I read suggests that Omicron usually doesn't cause this synptom.

Sanger institute testing is what you want.

Thanks! So it looks like it's pretty much all Omicron now. Anyone else having extreme taste/ smell change?

We did with omicron but after10 days. I don't think I logged it on T and T it was so late.

@Mymincepie I do. I had a glass of Coca Cola last night. That tasted strange.

I have just recovered from covid and I lost my taste and smell for 2 days. Pretty sure I had Omicron. DP didn't lose his!

In January we most certainly had omicron as 5-6 weeks prior we also tested positive, so that must’ve been delta. Anyway out of 5 of us, only one dc had lost taste and smell both times, so in our experience yes it’s less common with omicron, but can definitely still happen.
