There are all sorts of behaviours that are just not accepted in public. Picking your nose, eating noisily with your mouth open, breaking wind in an enclosed space, but now there's another on the list - coughing. However, the Covid-19 pandemic appears to have drastically changed our attitudes to coughing and the amount we do it. But will this change last? We spoke to Dr Kim Dienes, a Lecturer in Clinical and Health Psychology at Swansea University, who's been monitoring behaviour trends since early in the pandemic, and we also have Professor Ron Eccles, the former director of the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University and an expert on coughing.
