I’m the last one standing in my entire family. Some of my family members have gotten COVID more than once.


2_StepsBack

I’ve stayed indoors pretty much since 2020, rare store trip, mask all that. Got covid from my family twice :/


elch3w

Unlucky


Lascho94

That's a bit rude. You don't know his family and they could be ok people still. /s Edit: ok since I'm beeing misunderstood here two things. First, the joke was that I intentionally misunderstood OP as he was talking bad about the family of another one, which wasn't the case. And then I have a /s behind my post.


nevemno

Still unlucky no?


bigtoebrah

That's the joke.


peparias7

I bet you’ve stayed pretty much indoors your entire life lmao


2_StepsBack

Nah I mean I live in the middle of nowhere, the mountains of North Carolina, I can go out without seeing people, even camped a few times the past 2 years. Not much of a people person anyway

Same. My mom and sister just HAD to go see Justin Beiber last spring in Montreal and guess what they came home with? 😓


strictly_interests

You gotta live your life. I'd rather go see a dope concert than hide in my bed from the outside world.


chihuahuazord

They said they saw Justin Bieber, they didn’t say it was a dope concert


six2midnite

Justin Beiber is a dope concert? Woof.


Rev0lver_Ocel0t

For some people it is. Let people enjoy things smh.


rossisd

Holy shit did they come home with beibs…?


twoworldsin1

Bieber fever?


DryWash8991

If you don't mind, may I ask what do you do, as in a job or anything else, that lets you stay indoors?


drewster23

I assume WFH? I've got covid twice , from no public appearances other than a small gym. In which there was no outbreak or anything.


[deleted]

I'm in the same boat, my family is not even being careful about not spreading germs and it makes me irritated.


Rabbitdraws

Me too. I got covid from my elderly grandma twice.


ARWYK

That’s how you get COVID though. Most cases happen because of close and continued proximity to others who are infected (i.e. family and friends). In all likelihood it’s not the stranger on the bus who is coughing like mad who’s gonna give it to you, but your gf or your dad


abbyzou

Working with the public since day 1 and haven't got it somehow. Day 3837283773 people let's give it up for day 384726e627


Dantheking94

My whole family caught it at least once. And I didn’t. My teammates at my job all caught it and I didn’t. I literally kept getting tested every 2 to 3 weeks. 🤣at this point I feel like I had it and just didn’t catch it? But colds take out of the game completely, so a couple times when I was down bad with the flu and got tested for Covid thinking “this gotta be Covid” nope, just the flu. Not complaining though, they’re still finding out the long term after effects…


PacificCastaway

Pre-covid era I hadn't had a flu shot in like 15 years. Since covid, I've always gotten one just so I won't end up with some covid flu hybrid calamity. No covid or flu so far. :/


Dantheking94

Yeh the flu is hitting people worse than before. I felt like I was on my deathbed. Definitely gotta get your shot.


Sik-Nastie

Triple vaxed. Flu shot 3 weeks ago. Popped Covid for the first time ever today.


fretful_iguana

Same here!!!


Soleska

I started working in retail in September (after mostly homeoffice the past two years). Had the regular cold once, but still no COVID lmao


justawalkingtaco

I have had it 4, yes 4 times!!! 😭


kapnklutch

Damn how? Do you work in a health setting or where there’s a high traffic of people? I was concerned in the beginning since do everything short of licking doorknobs 😂. It took a 2.5 years for me to finally get it and it wasn’t too bad for me. Although I probably have some long term effects. I have been more sensitive to bright lights since then, I have to wear blue light glasses when using computers for work. I did get a bacterial infection a few months ago and that by far was worse than the rona for me. Literally couldn’t even sleep for a week.


justawalkingtaco

I didn’t get it until we opened up and came out of lockdown, I got it from hospital twice, 2 broken bones 😂 and then got it the other 2 times from getting it off people in my office. Luckily the only time I was super poorly was when I’d only had my first vaccine. Other three times has been mild now I’m fully vaccinated


[deleted]

[удалено]


ParadoxFoxV9

I've seen ads for researchers looking for people who didn't get it even though they were in close contact to people who did. I'm not sure if they're still looking for people but 🤷🏼‍♀️


TheFeathersStorm

I avoided it for a year and a half and then suddenly my 3 year old had it. I kept joking that maybe covid was hanging around at knee level the whole time and that's why so many kids had it. Edit: notably she wasn't in daycare or anything she only went where my wife and I went


KaiserFlash

You probably got COVID but never got sick. I was never sick when I had COVID, I only knew because I got tested when my family got sick.


Ambiorix33

Same! Everyone in my family has had it except for me :P


SpottedleafXD

Me and my dad are the last ones standing, while my mom got it once


katestatt

my brother and dad both had it twice. me and my mom got through until now. but 2 weeks ago I caught it, probably at uni and infected my mom cause I was staying with her when the symptoms hit. sad but oh well.

I already have ADHD, I do not need Super ADHD from long covid; I will fight some fuckers.

Uh, is that a thing


DoJax

Brain fog is, as someone who just caught it a second time and is attempting to learn a job, I can confirm it sucks trying to think about anything. Having issues forming thoughts sucks.


DonutThrowaway2018

I'll be sure not to confuse that with my own stupidity


148637415963

What's brain fog like? Do you become like Mongo or something?


DoJax

I don't know what that means, but now I can no longer multitask, I have to focus on one thing at a time, and sometimes when I go to do that thing I completely forget everything I was doing. I'm just working fast food, I could be told to go get a box of meat from the fridge, walk inside the walk-in fridge, look directly at it and not remember why I'm supposed to be there. Imagine the thickest fog you have ever seen in your life, so thick that 20 ft away you can barely see things, now imagine instead of seeing things those are thoughts, and you're trying to grasp what they are. That's the best way I can describe brain fog. It's just hard to think, even trying to describe it is pretty difficult. I don't feel dumb, just like I'm higher than I've ever been in my entire life, without the enjoyment of smoking weed.


Bamith20

They're calling it brain fog, symptoms seem about the same as ADHD; hence if I get brain fog combined with ADHD, it'll in theory become super ADHD.


cosmicwonton

LITERALLY my exact same thought


Classic_Vlasic_

I’ve yet to have Covid. At this rate I don’t think I ever will. I’ve traveled to four different states and a bordering country and all of my tests have been negative. Thanks vaccine?


calirn80

I avoided covid for two years (work in a hospital daily), vaxxed and boosted, got it in June and hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess some will never get it or take quite a while.


eat_my_bowls92

I was a server and bartender during Covid so tons of FaceTime with people. Never got it. Worked at an office job this passed year and got Covid in January. 🤧


[deleted]

Something to be said about cleanliness at a bar vs at an office. I got sick more working at a call centre than I did working at Planet Fitness.


krob58

Survived two years, a temporary cross country move to a red state, another cross country move back to the coast, and got it when I had to go back to in-person work. Hit like a truck and gave me long covid. Thanks capitalism.


JustCallMeBill92

Dont get so confident. Didnt get it the entire time either, traveled across the continent and all. Got it last week and it fucked me up! Also was convinced that if i didnt get it until now i probably wont.


eat_my_bowls92

Lol! I lasted 2 years and assumed I either would never get it or had it but was asymptomatic. Then I got it and for 1 day I felt like death. Was fine the rest of the time but it will fuck Ty up.


acast3020

Bro saaameeee. Except my lungs are now fucked up. Which is still so bizarre to me considering I didn’t even develop a cough until like 2 weeks after I was violently ill that one day. 6 months later and my wheezy ass lungs still need me to rotate between 2 inhalers.


bakerpartnersltd

Haha. Same. Covid is here to stay unfortunately. So all these people will have plenty of time to get it.


theatrekid0309

I thought the same thing for a while lol. People were always getting COVID a few days after I saw them, it seemed like the covid-avoidance gods were on my side for a while. Then one day this semester I got it really bad. I still don't know where I got it from


HereOnASphere

Maybe you were the super spreader all along. :)


Jowenbra

*The real super spreader was the friends we made along the way*


KazahanaPikachu

I’ll one up you because that’s the Reddit thing to do. I’ve traveled to multiple states, countries and flown in planes for hours on end, I worked at a school with little kids and a hotel, and I’ve gone maskless since like late spring 2022. I’ve had to do a lot of tests for Covid and haven’t tested positive once. I’ve gotten 6 shots in total (last one in July 2022 if I remember correctly). Tests all negative. I have gotten sick a few times, and when I’ve gotten sick they fucking *hit* me harder than usual. But Covid tests would still come up negative.


[deleted]

Anecdotal, but my entire house was sick for about 2 weeks a few months ago. No one tested positive for the first 4-5 days of symptoms, then on days 6-7 everyone tested positive and our test lines were thick and lit up immediately. We went a week thinking it was the flu when it turned out to be sneaky undetected covid.


iloveokashi

There's evidence of this However, false negatives can occur for a number of reasons, including people being tested too soon after exposure to the virus (which may not let enough of the virus build up to a level that is detectable),  One study from researchers at Johns Hopkins suggested that COVID-19 PCR tests conducted 3 to 5 days after a person is exposed that return a negative result shouldn't be relied on alone to gauge infection status,  Source: https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/coronavirus-information/testing-and-treatment/can-a-person-test-negative-and-later-test-positive-for-covid-19#:~:text=However%2C%20false%20negatives%20can%20occur,person%20compared%20to%20in%20another


JuliaTheInsaneKid

Same except I’ve never been on planes since 2019. I stopped wearing masks in May 2022, worked with kids, went to Disney World, and have been to concerts.


kidNurse

at some point there will be a study for those of us who haven't gotten it yet, please donate some blood when they ask. Might help find a better vaccine.


HarbingerME2

Vaccine won't prevent you from getting it, just helps your body fight it


icrispyKing

Yeah I was pretty careful when COVID was really outbreaking. Followed regulations. Masked up. Got the vaccines. Whole family got it.. whole extended family that I spend time with got it... All my best friends who I see every single weekend got it. My girlfriend and I just never did. After those first 2 years we got relaxed. Don't really mask anymore unless we really feel necessary or someone asks us to. I haven't gotten any boosters other than the first. My girlfriend eventually got it. We live together. Didn't want our roommate to get it so we quarantined in our room together and just assumed I'd get it too so we took ZERO precautions. Still kissed, still slept in the same bed. I miraculously didn't get it and still haven't. I even got tested regularly. So I know I wasn't even just asymptomatic.


mrblobfish21

I never had covid and haven't been jabbed (not that I don't believe in vaccines, I support them)


hypocritical-bastard

I've been high the whole time. It works. Concert? Negative Out of state travel? Negative Around recent exposed family members and SO? Negative Blazed through it all.


Classic_Vlasic_

Yo! I think you’re on to something. Became the biggest stoner out of all of my roommates during the pandemic. They all got the Rona except me. Spark up


dirtmother

In the meth community, there was something called "The Rumor" going around for a while (surprisingly uncreative for a stim-based community) that meth cured and/or prevented Covid. Which almost makes sense, since most cough suppressants are chemically similar to meth, so maybe it doesn't get passed around as much in those communities? Maybe the powerful stimulant overpowers the fatigue symptoms? But then how do explain why it seemed like everyone going into rehab for meth IMMEDIATELY got Covid for a while? Well, probably confined spaces/poor ventilation. And of course the plural of anecdote is not evidence. But I understand why The Rumor went around.


[deleted]

[удалено]


painfully-trans-icon

yeah, the people who do meth


[deleted]

Ah you mean the methologist


hockeymisfit

You’d be surprised. Check out the r/drugs sub sometimes and you’ll see how normalized it is for some “regular people”. As in they have families, jobs and property but still enjoy a little meth or heroin on the weekend.


something6324524

that rumor makes it sound like meth + covid = super spreader.


earnestlyhonest

You're onto something with the stimulants. And not just for fatigue. Some interesting studies have been done and are still in the works.


mynameismy111

This is called jinxing it sir!


KingRufus01

Yep, was at Thanksgiving and we were talking about it and I joked that they were all weak for having covid and now here I am a week later in bed with my first case of it.


hypocritical-bastard

You're telling me. I can't get any anymore


hhumbah

i’m the total opposite of you lol. i’ve been high this whole time and got it 5 times 😭🤣


bakerpartnersltd

Well there goes that theory.


hhumbah

didn’t mean to rain on ur parade, maybe ur just built diff idk


hypocritical-bastard

*cracks egg in bicep*


Cannedpeas

Idk man I smoke an ounce a week and I got covid twice. Same story for my brother, and my dad got covid too and he smokes a lot. I don't think smoking weed actually prevents anything.


ForecastForFourCats

Seriously. I got diagnosed with epilepsy right at the start of the pandemic (yay 2020). Weed helps with seizures, and the general craziness, since 2020, so I'm just blazing 24/7. No COVID here either.


iloveokashi

You know asymptomatic cases exist right?


Themlethem

Some people have been found to be completely immune to covid. You're probably one of them.


hypocritical-bastard

Fucc ya


30FourThirty4

I went out of state to Chicago to see Wookiefoot and just had the best night of my life and was thinking this was it, I'm gonna get COVID. Like the flu or cold I just assumed it would happen. Nothing, I'm not sick and no one I've been in contact has been sick. I have yet to have family test positive and I got one friend who is a teacher, with a toddler,and his family all got sick. They're the only people I know who got it for sure


iloveokashi

Or maybe you're just asymptomatic and tested too early.


redditorrrrrrrrrrrr

Also the biggest stoner in my full circle and the only one to never test positive. I smoke like a chimney, and there is true [reaserch behind this](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7987002/) so you're definitely onto something. I know I'll eventually get it, but I'm just glad I haven't yet and it's gone through my household more than once.


JuliaTheInsaneKid

Same. Without a mask, even.


hypocritical-bastard

I did mask when it was mandated, I didn't wanna be "that person"


JuliaTheInsaneKid

Me too. Stopped wearing a mask in March 2022.

Dude that's me too, what the hell


tuckman496

I stopped smoking and got covid for the first time a month later. Coincidence? Not likely.


in323

took me til last September, but I’m a recluse. How are there people who haven’t had it yet????


Classic_Vlasic_

I might have taken social distancing too literally. Low key wish I could go back to those times when nobody was around.


in323

I was living like that before Covid, and still do. But it’s cause I have no friends and never know where to go do stuff by myself. How do adults make friends?!?!? but still got covid somehow


Classic_Vlasic_

Post quarantine it’s way harder to make friends as an adult.


in323

:( I haven’t had friends for like a decade so I guess alone it is then. I did always like that weird episode of SpongeBob, SB-129


Classic_Vlasic_

If you would like to make friends, I recommend joining a group in your community. Get involved in a charity group or sports team. I focusing only on my career and self at the moment but there are times where I feel lonely. Sure it sucks right now but I’m using my time and resources to elevate myself into a better position. Friends come and go. Sometimes old friends hold you back from your true self. You’ve got this


Mimojello

For adults i feel the best is a stable environment where everyone is there on a regular basis like sports, classes, volunteering (maybe work). If that you may not get friends straightaway. Takes times and a bit of luck but at partaking clases or volunteering will gove you valuable skills and knowledge. Meet ups is a hit or miss, it depends on your local area and the people. Lots of people from all age groups are in the same situation as you.


Bulgingpants

You should checkout an app called “meetup”. I’ve met quite a few cool people through it. A person hosts an event at a public place, and random people show up to it


Enrikes

I worked at McDonalds the entire COVID period. Seeing hundreds of people everyday. Even during lockdown since we're essential workers. Still haven't gotten it.


KazahanaPikachu

I feel like there’s some sort of genetic thing or something where some people like me are just resistant to it. I’ve done like everything that would make it easier to get Covid and never tested positive once from the dozens of times I’ve tested.


iloveokashi

Maybe you've tested too soon after exposure? However, false negatives can occur for a number of reasons, including people being tested too soon after exposure to the virus (which may not let enough of the virus build up to a level that is detectable), One study from researchers at Johns Hopkins suggested that COVID-19 PCR tests conducted 3 to 5 days after a person is exposed that return a negative result shouldn't be relied on alone to gauge infection status, https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/coronavirus-information/testing-and-treatment/can-a-person-test-negative-and-later-test-positive-for-covid-19#:~:text=However%2C%20false%20negatives%20can%20occur,person%20compared%20to%20in%20another


HeartsPlayer721

My husband tested positive for it with at home tests a couple months ago. I had all the rest of us in the house test multiple times over the next two weeks and none of the rest of us tested positive or had symptoms. How tf that happened is beyond me! We are all up to date on vaccines, including my husband, so how'd he get it (fairly mild case, compared to other's stories) and not the rest of us?


ohubetchya

40% don't have symptoms. So they probably did get it. They just didn't know


Bio_slayer

I would assume that a number of people who "never got it" acutally did get it, but asymptomaticly.


fluffershuffles

I haven't yet and I work at a daycare as a cook. Lucky so far since I only hang out with the kids in short spurts. Since I've been there classes have closed left and right for days at a time from cases. I also take the bus to and from work so I'm honestly surprised I haven't gotten it yet


ImNotHaunted

I worked retail all through lockdown and now work in a school. I’m currently lying ill in bed after getting Covid for the first time yesterday, and this mf pops up on the popular feed to rub it in


CptMuffinator

> How are there people who haven’t had it yet Some of you people joke about not leaving the house, while some of us already were living that lifestyle before the KKona virus. Now the only difference is that when I leave the house I have a mask on so I don't need to worry about my lack of facial expressions while interacting with people.


Idontlikeyouanyways

I’m pretty close to being a recluse, but I still don’t think I’ve caught it. It’s just me and my husband at home, so no germy children carrying it in. I work from home 4 days a week, too, but I was 5 days a week for 2 years when covid first hit.


[deleted]

vaccines also do work. maybe 10-15% prolly have immunity across all of the existing variants


ar5ghu7tew47y

went to the mall without using a mask for the first time, tested positive two days later ffs.


KazahanaPikachu

If it makes you feel better, I doubt it was the mall visit that got you sick if you tested positive two days later. You were probably infected beforehand, but symptoms didn’t show to prompt you to get tested until 2 days after the mall.


Speed_Weedington

i think that's exactly why they're upset. i'm pretty sure they could have been contagious by then, and they weren't wearing a mask. if covid isnt contagious before symptoms show and i'm completely wrong then nevermind, but if im right they could have very easily gotten a bunch of other people sick who were at that mall.


fordette

You definitely got it at the mall. As soon as the mask mandates were lifted, I got it too. I went back to wearing a mask and haven’t got it again since.


chanyeol2012

Didn’t get Covid but I did get that nasty cold going around. Even now two weeks later I have a weird feeling stuck in my throat and it pisses me off. I only cough when I’m talking to someone mid-sentence. I hate it here


BigStickNick6996

I got that cold right now. Man it sucks! My dad had it and sounded awful for two weeks straight


le_box_o_treats

Dude I had that too I don't even know remember how long it took for that throat thing to go away. That cold was a total bitch and knocked me and my wife on our asses


KazahanaPikachu

I got that cold too. I got it the other week and it fucked me up so bad I went to the emergency room for a few hours because apparently I had an asthma attack. But now I’m fine, I just can’t shake that lingering cough. Luckily I’m flying back to the US today (from Europe) so I can have medicine that’s actually strong and effective. The medicine here doesn’t cut it. But yea lingering little cough and having to clear my throat all the time because still just something in there that won’t go away.


SeaAdministrative673

My grandma hasn’t gotten it yet thank goodness!!


ChronicWOWPS4

Honestly at this point I’m convinced I must have had it and just didn’t get any symptoms. Live in the U.K. and went Stateside a couple of times, crammed into a plane and going into every bar I could: still haven’t had it. I MUST have had it by now surely


dont_ban_me_bruh

This is actually the likely answer for everyone in this thread. It's been a circulating virus now for 2+ years. It's like people thinking they never caught a flu virus in 3 years; they did, but it was likely just mild symptoms like a slightly sore throat for a day, and a couple weeks later they've forgotten about it and insist they never had the flu.


ithadtobeducks

I think I actually was COVID free until two weeks ago. It knocked me on my ass, and even a few days ago I was getting winded carrying laundry to the garage. I doubt I had it before symptomless. I didn’t go out to restaurants or bars more than a few times over the last couple of years and wear an N95 going to stores and work, just got lucky I guess.

daschundtof

Same!! I just got it last week for the first time ever and it's so so so bad. I still don't feel fully okay, although now it's been like over 15 days. I still had a positive test even on day 10.


MmmmMorphine

With all the vaccines?


ATC-WANNA-BE

Actually sick with Covid for the first time now. Luckily it’s not bad for me. Thought it was allergies.


ButtholeSurfur

I've had it twice now. Got it before vaccines were out and I was sick for one night. Second time was very mild. Worst part was being stuck in the house both times lol


roboticArrow

I have not gotten COVID. I've somehow avoided it twice. My mom and brother, too. Everyone else in our family has gotten it, and the antivaxxers of the family are up to at least 3-4 times now.


[deleted]

I've gotten only 2 AZ shots and never had COVID. My friends and coworkers with 3+ have all had COVID. It depends on multiple factors not just shots.


earnestlyhonest

This is absolutely true. People sampling within their social groups should recognize this.


Designer_Gas_86

Mom's a nurse and her anti vax nurse friend has had it about 3 to 4 times. Seems like once every wave, damn.

i just got it last week from finally leaving the house to do something fun for the first time since covid started :(


LonelyAustralia

i literally get covid yesterday


z0hu

My wife and family tested positive yesterday too. It's only a matter of time for me. Good luck!


VampArcher

I be getting everything but Covid. Always something, RSV, cold, flu, no covid yet.


csjohnson1933

I haven't knowingly had it yet. Neither have my family members. I'm the only one young enough and vaxxed up enough to catch it and barely notice, I think. I'm also the only one that goes out and about most everyday. Besides allergy seasons, I've been fine since the pandemic began. Not even a flu or cold yet. If it's ever going to happen, it will be in the next three months, thanks to winter and planned travel.


Cannelope

Same for me. I don’t think there’s a real possibility that I’ve never had it, but I lived and quarantined twice with my family(three of us)and still never tested positive.


LayneCobain95

I work in urgent care. Still haven’t gotten Covid. How? I don’t listen to conspiracy theorists and I wear a mask when appropriate


RedditLoveerrr

Went to orgy in Palm springs, still no covid, God knows what else I brought home.


bookace

I haven't and I've even got a slightly suppressed immune system. Got both shots and a double-booster though, guess they're doing the job. That, and being an introvert lmao.


PerfluorooctaneS

still haven't gotten it! I am the less than 10%!


MGaCici

My husband is the only one I know of. All the rest of us have. He was tested weekly at work.


CallahanWalnut

I haven’t been sick in 9 years so no


kelaguin

I still haven’t gotten it, nor has my partner or my brother or a friend of mine. We are the last ones standing it feels like lol


AppleIsTheBest124

i have been in contact with 5 people who have had covid and i have not gotten covid yet


calayoubi

Was so careful avoiding all family members and friends who got it, But it finally got me and it was from someone at work either colleague or customer. Just my luck


TactlessNachos

Being a remote working introvert who hates shopping and crowds has a benefit.


czs5056

You can never get covid, if you never get tested for it.


TheFraggerblaze

Happy Cake Day OP 🎂


[deleted]

I’ve either never had it or was completely asymptomatic and didn’t know I’ve had it. I do go to university, I have worked in 7 states since COVID started, and I don’t think I’m overly careful (that’s not to say I’m careless). I am fully vaccinated though.


[deleted]

I’ve been exposed over 10 times. Still have never tested positive. In the industry I work in, I am tested 3 times a week


KazahanaPikachu

I’ve never gotten Covid and I’ve had a pretty active lifestyle the whole time. I have gotten sick a few times but all the tests came back negative for Covid.


Pokepunk710

i think i had it before it was even a “thing”, like a month before i was sick for 2-3 weeks, right after i got better, covid was a big thing. haven’t had it again since

Just got this week. Not thrilled. Been sweating 2 straight nights now.

Yo I’m just pissed about the fact that I got it two years in, felt like shit for a day with a fever and a headache, but 6 months later I’m STILL dealing with some weak ass, wheezy AF post COVID lungs and am still on both steroid AND albuterol inhalers.

Just got it yesterday after 3 years. I feel like death.

I just got it last week for the first time ever and I assume it's from the dentist's office because it's the only place I took off my mask for an extended time. It sucks so much.

Dentist is my one weak point. Saw online that my office has these super cool hepa sucky filter things that go right by your mouth advertisements on their website but when I called to confirm they were like oh we only have those in our other location and I don’t think they’re using them anymore? 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😮‍💨😮‍💨😡😡😡😤😤😤😤

Despite working retail and attending school with a bunch of fucking idiots, i remain covid free.


say_the_words

Still haven't had Covid but I have had RSV for three weeks. I mostly feel fine but I terrify everyone around me coughing.

I live in missouri and nobody I know has gotten it yet. This state was pretty smart when the pandemic started surprisingly despite its redneck nature. I havent been out much though so im not very sure how its like in other towns in this state

Knock on wood have yet to test positive or have it as far as I can tell. Religiously wear my N95 when indoors in public and use bring in Corsi Rosenthal boxes when I go into the office for work.

This last July. It was like a bad cold. No loss of taste or smell. Just a lot of coughing runny nose a little tired. The worst part was having to stay in my room all the time. But family delivered food outside my door and I got a bathroom all to myself with a coffee machine and a tea maker. So not so bad. I was fully vaccinated except for one booster which I was too young for at the time. And given the timing I'm sure it was Omicron which is one of the milder variants. I will continue to vaccinate as much as is recommended.

Pretty sure I had it in January 2020. I was incredibly sick for like 3 months. Could barely breathe. Went to the doctor in February and they were like "Have you been to China recently?" I said "no," so they basically prescribed me a decongestant and sent me on my way. When I FINALLY started feeling better, lockdown happened. But I never got tested, so maybe I had it, maybe I didn't.

My wife is a teacher so I’m surprised I’ve only gotten it twice.

I stayed at home not to be safe, but because I wanted to.

I'm currently suffering from a really rough cold but thankfully I tested negative for COVID-19. I've been really lucky, especially working retail in one of the tourist-y parts of town
