Hay Fever or Coronavirus?

[good times]

Apparently an important enough topic for the BBC to make an advisory video about, but not important enough for them not to feature a man dressed as a flower prancing around a public park to music seemingly lifted from an Apprentice: You're Fired montage.

Could be a good lockdown quiz show concept.

If you're out somewhere and you feel a sneeze coming on (hay fever, dust, etc) and you don't want to get disapproving glances from people thinking you have the lurgi, hit yourself in the leg somewhere around the point just below your trouser pocket and the sneeze magically goes away.  It's probably something to do with the nerve impulses having priority, or something.

Sore throat, bit of a tickly cough and a tight chest for ages now. Was pleased when the sneezing came.

Making you watch a video to find out if you've got Coronavirus is shittery of the highest order.

Do any other hayfever sufferers find it almost random when it comes on? I don't get it as bad as when I was a kid but still have bad years. However some years I get nothing at all.

Absolutely. I thought I'd grown out of it in my teens, but it's flared up quite badly at several points in my twenties. I assume there's some reason why the pollen is more intensely concentrated, or certain kinds of pollen dominate in certain years.

Same here. I didn't get hayfever until I was twenty, then had it every April - June for the next ten years or so after which it seemed to tail off. I had a few years without any symptoms before it reappeared, this time seemingly accompanied by mild eczema (which I'd never had before) on my neck. Mild symptoms started again about two weeks ago.
