Don’t bother with a lottery ticket, you’re more likely to catch Covid.

I somehow dodged it until earlier this year and it barely affected me. Just woke up now at 6am and I have it again lol. The rest of my family spent the last week dealing with it and now it's my turn again.

I think this number is a lot lower than people may think. From personal experience I have had covid more than four times (not testing anymore), I was only actually symptomatic to any degree with the first one. By contrast, my partner has never once actually tested positive, despite certainly having it at least once, having caught it from me, and being very symptomatic. Some people shed a lot of the virus, and some people shed not any basically whatsoever, since the tests are based on actually shedding the virus, many people who simply don't shed the virus have caught covid-19 and simply don't realize it or won't ever test positive

Managed to avoid it for a long time, but then got it from sitting shoulder by shoulder in uni after mask mandates were phased out. It was not pleasant, but luckily I didn't get any really bad symptoms.

If you "can't" wear mask either your face is uglier than a trolls arse or you're as feeble as a 90 year old.

Given how contagious omicron and later variants were, no one avoided covid without total isolation. At most you never tested positive.

I actually only know three people who've gotten it and two were not vaccinated
