So I'm not the only one noticing this? Everyone around seems to need to cough every minute.
I've always coughed after eating, I think it's a lung irritation thing, and Covid's made me really self conscious about it in public but it's not Covid.
Maybe people also have irritated lungs.

Literally exactly me.
This could also be a Vagus nerve thing. Lots of people have a cough reflex triggered by stimulation of the Vagus nerve, including the part in the digestive tract. It's called the Arnold's nerve cough reflex.
Damn, that sucks. Never heard of that symptom.
I definitely had this way before Covid though.
it was actually the worst during the acute phase of covid
I've noticed a lot of people have that symptom (covid or not) it's pretty interesting
I have a coworker who will violently sneeze cough every 2-3 minutes. Straight up dad sneezing. He's been like this since I started my job, so I doubt it's an active covid infection, but I do wonder if it's a prior medical condition or a complication of covid.
COVID fundamentally changed my sinuses and allergy response. Never had allergies before. Now it’s terrible. But I’m sure all the burning forests in California don’t help much.
At the start of the pandemic, and before they recommended masks, I became acutely aware of just how many people will go around openly coughing into the air. It's gone back to that but seems worse. Like they think it's a basic human duty to spread disease.
covid and post covid complications. I think I remember reading that one of the variants in the last year irritated the vagus nerve which lead to everyone just having the same shitty cough long after their infection
