I got hit with allergies yesterday. Allergies always hits me hard. Stuffy head, some tightness in chest, a little fatigue, a clogged nose, and the occasional cough. It didn't help that I took the wrong allergy relief medicine and that made the fatigue that much worse.
No fever. No shortness of breath. No hacking or wheezing. No sneezing.
I was sent home early yesterday because I told one of my managers that I felt drained, which is partly because they have been working us ragged since this whole thing started.
Be prepared for allergy season, pedes. Spikes of Covid-19 will suddenly happen. The media will go ballistic. More panic will ensue. If you're like me, your gonna be having people pointing at you like Donald Suntherland's character in Invasion of the Body Snatchers any time to blow your nose or cough once to free up some damn drainage.
The typical allergy symptoms are not the same symptoms as the China Virus. It doesn't cause runny noses, sneezing, or stuffed up sinuses. It causes a lot more than an occasional cough if it causes you any cough at all (some people get no symptoms so who knows if there's a gradient on that). I'd say the main things to look out of are fever and shortness of breath. If you don't have those two symptoms, you're likely going to be fine even if you're infected. If you get one of those two symptoms then you may need medical help.
