I work in the medical field and was providing COVID testing and vaccines for a majority of the pandemic. During this time, all of my coworkers and two of my roommates have caught COVID at least once.
I still have never had it. Genuinely think I'm immune.
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 felt the same way when my initial symptoms cleared up in about a week.
Then I got Bell's palsy which lasted for about a month. That wasn't fun.
Ugh, this would've been me but I succumbed to covid in April this year due to being at a wedding... The one time I didn't wear my mask 😷
I honestly think I'm immune or something. I pretty much followed all the lockdown rules, though I didn't go disinfecting my groceries like some people I know. After things loosened up I went on a day trip with a group of friends, and we all had dinner & drinks together afterwards. One woman unknowing had COVID, and over the next few days everyone else came down with it. Except me. Last Christmas I spent with close friends, lots of kissing and hugging - COVID for them but not me. I still get all my shots (five so far), I'm scared of long COVID more than anything. I'm too busy to be long-term sick.
Edit just to add that I tested negative every day for a week after those exposures.
Made it to July. I don't go out much so not a big surprise. Knew it would happen. Girl I was seeing tested positive but said I could still come over to have sex. Had sex, caught covid. Stayed at home til I tested negative. Totally worth it.
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 was like you once. I lasted 2 and a half years 😔
As I'm writing this right now, I'm getting sick for the second time. Thanks dad.
We provided home-schooling for two and had an immune suppressed person at our home. I added a HEPA air exchange filtration system and upgraded our furnace/AC for a second HEPA filter in our home. Now, the children are back in school, and their dad is back to the office. We are teaching at school, but remain Covid free. We had our most recent shot on Thursday. We know of more infected people this year in our circle this past two months, than the entire time before, so we are hoping for the best.
Thats me! And people laugh at me for still wearing a mask
I'm in this picture (or, if I've had it, it has been asymptomatic - but I doubt that I have), although it's not as much luck as it was precautions on my side. The first year I would only go out when I need to (and I was working from home full time before that anyway). For some time after I even avoided meeting people outside. Got my shots pretty late, I think in early 2022, because I wanted to go to an outdoor festival with a lot of people.
I wouldn't have gotten it if not for a libertarian roommate who didn't believe it existed. They tested positive, said it was a false positive, took no precautions whatsoever at home, and then went back to work at their nursing home a day later.
oh shit, this is me! i'm worried i'm about to tho, uninsured and can't really fork over the money for a shot.
America! Fuck yeah! Coming again to fuck the working class's ass yeah!
70 years old ... lived in a big city ( small town now) and haven't caught it yet
Alright I’m not certain there’s not a genetic variable here but I have not found it very hard to avoid. I wear a mask indoors and eat outdoors and don’t really do anything else.
But like, I travel a lot not for business which I theorize is riskier than business travel. That’s a lot of airports, and even with an optimistic 70% lounge rate it’s probably not great for avoiding illness (plus I managed to get flu somehow). I do eat indoors for special places but I guess those typically have less than 20 seats so the risk is reduced. Still.
My immediate family all got it and were extremely symptomatic so I doubt it’s genetic though. Plus I don’t think I’m related to my SO and by using an N95/KN (I prefer N for comfort on the ears) we’ve managed to avoid it despite frequent travel and separate social lives. I know masks are very uncommon now but honestly, didn’t really change my life that much. I’m pretty sure they work too, the second time I was in Tokyo this year masks were a minority thing and you couldn’t get onto a bus or train without people coughing. I resigned myself to Covid but somehow still didn’t get it.
Anyway now that I’ve gone on this incoherent ramble I’m definitely gonna be sick next week. Probably deserved.
I was COVID-free until the end of July. I've now had it twice.
Probably they got it but they didn't notice. At a place I worked in recently several people had cold like symptoms and I got same but immediately knew it's corona because I got it last year. But almost everyone describes it as cold or allergies.
Somehow I haven't even had the sniffles in 3 years. But I've worked remotely for a lot of it.
COVID sucks. Counting my blessings that Ive never caught it. Every single one of my coworkers and their families had it. But they also don't know how viruses and bacteria operate either.
They habitually stick their philangies in all of their facial orifices without regard for what they may have touched earlier...
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 wish I could say this was me but there's been a couple of times thst I've been knocked on my ass by something, but every test I've taken came up negative
The secret is to barely go outside.
I mean I have grocery shopped one a week the whole time but I've literally not been sick, not even with a cold, this whole time (and I used to get colds all the time). I didnt even mask for awhile there though I decided to start again because of the surge and the fear of long covid.
I had 2 shots and 2 boosters 6 mo apart. I think by now it's about as harmful to me as the common cold, I actually feel a sick sort of enjoyment whenever somebody wins the Darwin award for this. Sucks for the people with auto-immune problems, though, my heart sinks for them.
Wife and I had two shots, two boosters, caught Covid in February, and we’re both still dealing with long Covid symptoms, aside from the fact that being sick itself was a nightmare.
This disease is a freaking lottery, you’ll never know how you’ll react until you catch it. My aunt and uncle are still somewhat recluse, because neither can take the shots. Really sucks for immunosuppressed people.
