I work with the public and I didn't catch it until 2021. I felt slightly groggy for a day, and coughed a bit.
Felt fine the next day but tested positive
I felt like writing a strongly worded letter of complaint about false advertising but I didn't know who to send it to
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that think they never got it, but just had zero (or almost zero) symptoms and just never knew.
My son was born 4 months before the pandemic. Because he went to daycare me and my wife always felt like we had a cold or something. I tested and tested and tested even more. For me it was also really late (at least 2021, maybe even later) that one was positive. The actual thing was so much more mild than all those flu's and colds we had before.
Depends I guess how you define "getting" something. We're constantly getting things, viruses and small infections, and having no idea about them. Especially if you're in a cubicle at work near somebody with young kids, oh meh gerd. I wouldn't want to know about everything my body is fighting off on a daily basis.
