anybody else just naturally snotty/coughy and sick of getting dodgy looks?

Lighthearted.....
I've always been a bit of a sniffer - no matter what time of year. Might be a sinus thing, whatever. Particularly when I exercise I need to blow my nose a lot. Other than that I feel fine, fit and healthy.

AIBU to think that if the lady on the treadmill next to me in the gym was that worried about potential corona-spreading she could have gone for any one of the 30 empty treadmills rather than picking the one directly next to me (my pet hate at the best of times but particularly if you are going to get glares every time you blow your nose)?

For what it's worth I used a tissue which I binned directly, wiped down the machine before and after, used the anti bac gel and showed immediately after....

Yes. I am a chronic sneezer/cougher due to allergies and asthma. Even dust and strong smells can trigger it. Even my DH commented on my coughing this morning!

Yes! I am run down and had a cold now for 3 weeks and the looks I get.

No fever and no other symptoms but I still want to scream - it's just a cold!

I've picked up a stinker of a cold and at the post nasal drippy bit cough too. No temp or fever though, just a painful throat and ear Not looking forward to dropping off DD at nursery. And then I've got to arrange a blood test for the meds I'm on, which means a trip to the gp waiting room where sooner or later I'm going to have to cough, by the sounds of it I'll be public enemny number 1...

I understand - but people are just sacred. When people get scared of a new unknown virus that shows No sign of slowing down, I can understand why they overreact.
