Narrative:

During landing as I sat in my jumpseat near the 1L/1R doors; I noticed a distinctive odor coming from the airplane cabin. It smelled sweet and of sweaty gym socks. I could smell it through my face mask. I briefly brought my mask below my nose in order to further evaluate the odor. I did this a few times because I wanted to determine if it would dissipate or linger; it lingered. I then called the flight attendants in the back of the plane to ask them if they also smelled this odor. They did; and they told me 'it was really bad;' that it was quite strong in the back of the plane where they sat at their jumpseats. I then broke sterile cockpit and called the captain to alert him of the situation because I was concerned that we were having a toxic fume event. He told me he was busy with landing; but that he could turn the heat up to dissipate it some; and that he'd write it up on landing. The fumes never dissipated. For the rest of landing; we smelled this distinctive odor. Upon arriving at the gate; the captain wrote up the odor in the log book for maintenance. No flight service manager (fsm) met the plane. I noticed a little bit of a burning sensation in my nasal passages; throat; and lungs. When I got in the fresh air later; walking to my car; I felt a slight burning; tingling sensation in my eyes. When I got home; I then received a call from a flight service manager. The fsm wanted to know how I felt; and I told her that I just got home and was still monitoring my symptoms. I am still monitoring myself for any latent or delayed effects and reactions. Please note: due to the covid-19 pandemic and the new rules that go with it; unless I am having a life or death emergency or suspect I have covid-19; I was not able to go to the emergency room within X hours of this fume event to have my blood tested; which is standard operating procedure under normal circumstances.pilot should have called a medic and a flight service manager to meet the flight to evaluate crew's health and wellbeing.
