The fragrant candles say a lot about the health crisis. The loss of sense of smell quickly became one of the first known symptoms of Covid-19, along with loss of taste. Infected people are unable to discern even the slightest odor, sometimes for long months.
In this case, it becomes quite difficult to take advantage of the last fragrant candles that we have just bought. So, we complain that the candle does not emit any odor and we give it a bad rating. This phenomenon has become recurring to United States as the epidemic has grown.
On Twitter, an internet user noticed a certain correlation between the number of new cases of Covid-19 and the increase in the number of negative comments against these candles. Before the health crisis, the ratings varied between 4 and 4.5 stars, tells us the Washington Post, but since January 2020, the grades have dropped drastically and the number of people complaining that they do not emit any odor has continued to grow.
