Comments by "Charles Eye" (@TheCharleseye) on "Omicron, Common cold symptoms" video.

As someone who works outdoors all winter, I pretty much have those symptoms for three to four months straight, every year. Cold air gives me a runny nose. Post-nasal drip gives me a cough and a sore throat. Being out in the cold all day and then coming inside gives me a mild temperature (my body compensates for the cold and then I'm overly warm all evening) and often, a bit of a headache. Doing physical labor gives me body aches and fatigue. I think I'm just going to change my middle name to Omicron and call it good.

@nonyab5640 Just get tested? You mean, every, single day for 3-4 months? That's about what it would take to be sure. Again, I have these symptoms all Winter long. The local facilities won't allow me to test anywhere near that frequently and there's no way I'm spending that kind of money on home tests (I have bills to pay and a family to feed). Even every few days is too much. Maybe if there was something to fear from it but there really isn't.

@ldoe8731 Been there! My uncle had a dairy farm where I spent a lot of time working in my teens. Fulfilling work but I'm glad to be doing construction, instead. Hat's off to you!

@LTPottenger I appreciate the advice but it's not so much nasal infections as it is that my nose runs when it's cold. I would shoot myaelf if I had to deal with nasal infrctions all Winter. One a year is bad enough.
