Spring allergies can present with the following symptoms:

Runny nose
Watery eyes
Sneezing
Coughing
Itchy eyes and nose
Dark circles under the eyes

As to just going to the doctor, are you serious? A man and his child got released from a federal government mandated quarantine to find close to $4k worth of medical bills he's expected to pay. People who can't absorb an unexpected $400 expense are not going to the doctor unless they are on death's bed.

Many people will not stay home from work or go to the doctors and allergies will be a good excuse not to go and get checked out. Then there will be the people who freak out because they have an allergy but think it might be Covid-19, that's my point.

Just one more complication in an already horribly complicated scenario.
