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.
Hi, cough comrade!
covid made me start to cough after eating
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
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.
Hmm. Couldn't find too much on it but maybe.
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.
But then I remember that I am a 5-year old child who is a pro at coughing directly into the face of everyone I interact with 
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.
