Driving the news: Dr. Celine Gounder, a clinical assistant professor of medicine and infectious diseases at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, told CBS News that you can’t tell the difference between seasonal allergies and COVID-19. “You need to take a test,” she said.
Symptoms: Gounder said specific symptoms such as the sniffles, a cough or a stuffy nose could all be from COVID-19, the flu or seasonal allergies.

“So you have those symptoms, just take a test,” she said. The bigger picture: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently shared a chart that explained how to tell the difference between COVID-19 and seasonal allergies.

The CDC chart said the following symptoms are from COVID-19:

Fever or chills. Cough. Body aches. Headaches. Tiredness. Loss of taste or smell. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Sneezing. Itchy or watery eyes. Runny or stuffy nose. Meanwhile, allergy symptoms often include:

Cough. Headaches. Tiredness. Sore throat. Sneezing. Itchy or watery eyes. Runny or stuffy nose.

Of course, “spring allergies”.

When you get hammered at the bar and toss your cookies, it is probably caused by COVID and not alcohol.

Spring Allergies - LOL

Covid is gone and they want to use allergies now to say it’s a new variant

[cotton1706]

You don’t say???

Or perhaps a cold due to weather changes???

[Veto!]

Beat me to it.

These idiots will say anything to keep other idiots frightened and obedient.

Be sure to get more shots that don’t work....../s

You mean the bout I recently had that was cured by Claritin D could have possibly been Covid, who would have ever guessed that.

So, more things that can be labeled as “Covid”. /s

Up next: Symptoms from the new omicron variant’s subvariant — named the BA.2 variant— might be mistaken for climate change.

Uhmmm.....if my affliction in a pandemic might be confused with spring allergies, I really don't think we have a problem. Time to put this charade theater to bed. Don't wake it back up ever again.

Hide your beagles and hide your Bubby, cause Fauci may still be trying to serve his masters.

Why? I have those symptoms from allergies many days and haven’t taken a covid test yet.

It’s all to add to their fear mongering in order to get lots more $$$$$$.

[blackdog]

Oh brilliant hypothesis. You are so correct.

Oh good god, they are desperate. Oh noes, you have allergy symptoms, you have had all your life, go get a test and quarantine for 5 days. Panic everyone.

[I-ambush]

Symptoms like spring allergies? I’m quaking in my boots.

[FlipWilson]

And back to Covid we go.

Everything is Covid, including jock itch.

[Baldwin77]

OMG - SPRING ALLERGIES.

Dear Lord, have mercy on us ! We cannot survive this alone.

[pnz1]

It hit a “lull” so let’s get everybody panicking over seasonal allergies 🙄

[moovova]

[Mariner]

If people are going to mistake it for allergies, it’s certainly nothing to worry about.
