I never got covid and if I did it was completely without symptoms.
Rest of the family got when visiting me in the city but somehow I did not get ill.
I am sure, at this point, for some people the tests don’t work. I have lupus and take immune suppression medication and my only means of transportation is public transport. Normally, I collect every germ possible. But somehow not COVID? Nah.
That’s me!
Me too. Though I’m wondering if I ever caught it and just ended up being asymptomatic. I can’t say that I’ve been particularly careful and pretty much everyone in my social circle had it at some point.
I’ve probably gotten it at least once, since most people are asymptomatic. I’ve never had symptoms and never tested positive. Still, I feel like there’s a good chance I just got it and it was never detected.
I do think that is true. I’ve worked in a clinic through the whole pandemic, which meant mandatory tests everyday. Cought two asymptomatic infections this way. With the first one I had a very light headache - I would have thought absolutely nothing of it if it weren’t for the test. Second time I’ve got no symptoms whatsoever. I then got it again for round three and that one suuucked.
Who knows how many had it were none the wiser.
At this point it’s highly unlikely that there remains a human in an urban center that has not caught covid once. Maybe they didn’t have symptoms, maybe they didn’t notice, but they’ve had covid.
That or they’re a hermit.
I live in one of the largest US cities, attend concerts, use public transit, and fly internationally. No covid in this house, and we go through a box of RATs a week. Not immunocompromised, we just don’t want covid.
The secret: we wear respirators everywhere and use nasal spray before & after risky situations.
