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.
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.
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.
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.
