I would have said the same. 3 and a half years working retail during the pandemic and last week was the week it knocked me on my ass. Be careful.

I'm just lonely, that's my secret :)

That's me. I stayed home, avoided events, and waited to go to restaurants until cases were down. When I did go places, I went when it wasn't busy and sat outside. Avoiding COVID wasn't rocket science, all you had to do was follow the basic principles of disease prevention.

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 really should. I haven't had the 'rona and also survived a stroke and two rounds of brain surgery in 2022. I'm one lucky bastard.

Yeah. You'll win nothing. :-D

Just like the guy whose name was Peter Ninth, born on 9.9.1999, who was living in flat number 9... On his 19th birthday he bought a ticket on horse race for the horse number 9.

The horse ended up ninth.

I'm one of those who still haven't caught covid. But every time I leave home, I still wear a mask. I vaccinate whenever a booster's available. And i still wash my hands all the time.

that you know of. I'm sure there are sections of the population that were silent carriers. you fuckers got us sick!

meanwhile i got vaccinated 4 times and still caught it twice - is there a prize for that end of the spectrum?

Feel like I had very covid-like symptoms a couple of times. Not quite like a flu, similar, but a little different.

Tested myself every time, always negative. Not sure if it's a false negative, or a variant that doesn't get a result on those tests tho. Almost hard to believe i never caught it tho, as I have been exposed a couple of times too.

I worked retail through the worst parts of the pandemic, there is no chance I didn't get it, but I never had symptoms.

This is me so far

That's me!

That fucker got me in april. Even with precautions. Thank god i got vaccinated or my immunocompromised ass would be six feet under.

I'm one of them! It has been in the house three separate times and I've managed to make out without a single positive test. I don't even bother with masks outside the house

Avoid kids, don't go outside unless you have to, don't touch everything you see like you're some kind of toddler; hands in your pocket. Don't slack on basic precautions, gravitate towards old people and if you see a white girl cough, drop your path and reroute to avoid them.

The first and last ones are by far the most important to follow; by far the biggest vectors of the disease.

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.

I made it to last week. Sorry guys.

I'm going to guess that a lot of people ,like myself, who believe they never caught COVID actually have. A large percentage are likely just asymptomatic carriers. Or light symptoms that didn't show up on any tests.

I haven't ever had COVID (that I'm aware of, and I tested regularly for the first two years of the pandemic), because I never stopped following the science and taking precautions.

I recognize that I was and am able to consistently take those precautions only because of a lot of privilege.

I just got my first positive covid test a few minutes ago. My luck has run out.

I realized a latent autoimmune disorder instead! Winner!

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.

About 1 in 4 haven't had it https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-many-americans-havent-caught-covid-cdc-estimates/

My immunocompromised wife is now on day 3 of her 3rd case. She's a preschool teacher, and one of her students is always sick at any given time.

So far I'm lucky and only had it once (after the first time she had it) and it was barely more than a tickle in my throat. I'm still coming up negative despite still sharing a bed with her (I keep the windows and bedroom door open and ceiling fan on high hoping to dissipate the germs).

Thankfully my 6yr old has been rolling negative tests all week too. Crossing my fingers we get through the next few days clean.

I totally thought I was never gonna get it and then I got it a month ago and was so sick.

I suspect that I had an asymptomatic case at some point, my dad was testing positive and was not showing symptoms and my mom and sister were both showing symptoms but tested negative (even though given the circumstances, I don't think that result was correct)

I never showed symptoms or took a test as I wasn't showing symptoms so hard to know

You might have, but it could have been asymptomatic.

I wonder if I’ve had it. I got tested the few times I felt sick and always negative. But it seems a lot of people have been asymptomatic so it is probably more prevalent than we know.

Didn't get it until July this year. The kids brought it through the house in 2021, by some miracle of vaccination the wife and I didn't catch it then. Then the wife brought it home. Was pretty mild for both of us. We've kept our boosters up and we're in Australia so it didn't go nuts here until omicron

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
