Anyone else out there never had Covid?

[Peregrine Took]

I'm beginning to think we are the only two left.

[panader0]

1. I have not (knocks on wood).

[spooky3]

2. I have not. Nt

[jimfields33]

3. I never have.

Probably should have as I went about my business while coronavirus was going on. Not sure how I escaped but just lucky.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

4. Knock wood, and a testament to wearing medical grade masks and following other precautions,

thus far I've evaded getting Covid.

There is probably some luck involved, but I've been very cautious as well.

[luvtheGWN]

161. Another one here to have escaped it so far....

....thanks, I guess, to always wearing a mask when out and about. But I did have an unusual and painful reaction the day after my second shot -- my knee blew up and I was unable to put any weight on it for about a week. Co-incidence? I think not, as I've heard similar stories, especially when I went for physiotherapy.

All the same, I'll continue to booster program for as long as it seems necessary, and I'll continue to mask up!

[Ms. Toad]

186. And likely to living with someone who takes simliar precautions . . .

or living alone.

I got it from my spouse, who is incapable of keeping a mask on her face.

[wryter2000]

5. Yo

Lucky so far.

[Native]

6. Me and my husband, and we're in Florida.

[katmondoo]

202. I'm in Florida and never had Covid. Always wore a mask and only went out to food shop.

[True Dough]

7. You can add me to the list

I would have to say that of all the people in my universe, about half have had Covid. Fortunately none of them has been hospitalized, but my niece has some lingering symptoms that could be indicative of long Covid.

[FM123]

8. And me.

Kinda surprised really, I live in DeSatan's Florida.

[nancy1942]

9. I haven't had it.

[Iwasthere]

10. We haven't

Family of four, and we're very active. Been to Florida 3 times, and Hawaii for a couple weeks. Lots of planes and layovers. We have had many many tests too.

[demmiblue]

11. Not that I am aware of. n/t

[rurallib]

12. Me and Mrs. Lib - AFAIK

had lots of allergy problems that seem to mimc covid, but it is here for several hours then gone.

Eastern Iowa

[geardaddy]

13. Neither mrs geardaddy nor I have n/t

[A Brand New World]

14. My husband and I haven't had it.

We are in our late 60s, early 70s. Very fortunate but also cautious.

[RainCaster]

15. Not me

But my wife & all our kids have.
(shrug)

[Colorado Liberal]

16. Nope, there are a few of us left

According to my exposure notifications app, I've been exposed several times, but never tested positive and haven't gotten it (yet). We'll all be in a research study some day...

[nycbos]

17. I don't wanna jinx it because I'm very superstitious...

... but I haven't gotten it. I've been exposed. My mom got it when I was visiting her overJuly fourth and she's boosted and has been very cautious. At this point I'm almost resigned to the fact that I probably will get it at some point. I think we all will.

I hope I will be able to get one of the vaccines that are specific for the omicron variant. I read that the UK just approved one so we might not be far behind.

[calimary]

121. We still mask up when we go to the grocery store.

And we see few other shoppers doing likewise by now. Store employees still seem to care, or maybe management has ordered it.

[liberal_mama]

140. I'm very suspicious too and so is my family. When we say something that might cause a jinx, we say,

"That didn't happen, that didn't happen, that didn't happen." Sometimes we say it like 10x a day! It's our variant of knock on wood.

An example (an actual conversation from yesterday):
My sister: Chris doesn't feel well! He was going to go to the Bronx Zoo, but now he's taking a nap!
Me: OMG! I hope it's not--- (I can't even utter the word)
My sister: He took a test but it's negative. But this new variant can take like 5 days after symptoms start to show up as positive.
Me: OMG! That didn't happen, that didn't happen, that didn't happen!
My sister: That didn't happen, that didn't happen, that didn't happen!
Me: Call me when he gets up and let me know if he's feeling better.

[barbtries]

144. oh tht's funny

dare I say I hope Chris is okay!

[niyad]

18. I have not.

[JT45242]

19. My fam...4 of us

We mask. We have only eaten in restaurants a total of 5 times since March 2020.

One kid in college, one in HS. Will see if they be get it and give to us.

[Sanity Claws]

20. Never got it

I am double vaccinated and double boosted.

If I got it, the symptoms were so mild or fleeting that I didn't take a COVID test.

BTW, I am in NYC and take public transit. I think many would consider that high risk.

[hlthe2b]

21. Me. Lots of exposure, taken precautions throughout and extremely well vaccinated...

No eating out and haven't attended crowded events the past couple of years, but exposed to a lot of COVID-positive patients. My humility is intact because I mostly credit luck above and beyond the precautions I've taken. I've taken several rapid COVID tests the past couple of years--not really because of any symptoms but because I suspected exposure. Always negative.

That said, Very Very very early in the pandemic (early Feb, 2020) was my last mild upper respiratory infection, lasting only a day or so. It is theoretically possible that was COVID, given there is some evidence it was circulating earlier than believed in many areas across the US. But it was no more than a cold, so..?

[womanofthehills]

22. I've never had it, nor my longtime boyfriend

I’m out in the country and non of my best friends have had it either. My daughter and grandkids had it but mild - they must have had Omicron.

[MiniMe]

23. So far, not me

Nor anybody in my house

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. My doctors are amazed that I have not had COVID

[PaxtonSahara]

25. Me either

[AkFemDem]

26. I have not even though

My husband has had it, as have two of my kids (at different times) I’m quad vaxxed, I’d say moderately cautious- I mask up in crowded indoor situations but that’s about it.

I’m starting to wonder if I am one of those people who are seemingly immune especially since I had very close contact with my husband when he was sick.

[2naSalit]

27. Never got it...

Several folks around me did, lost a few, but I am currently in the unscathed category. Hope to stay that way.

[Happy Hoosier]

28. Not that I know of!!!

So far none of my family have tested positive. I've heard it's possible to actually get it and for a rapid test to give a false negative because the viral load is a so low, so there's that, but so far, all three of us are in the clear. We're all fully vaxxed.

[Talitha]

29. Not that I'm aware of.

Fully vaxxed, double boosted, and will be 70 by years' end.

If I'd ever had it, there were no symptoms so I was never tested.

[piddyprints]

30. Husband and I have not.

And we had a visitor last month who had a nasty case of it while she was at our house for nearly 2 weeks.

[Rebl2]

31. I don't

think I have. I thought I might have had it at the end of May, but tests were negative. Guess it was seasonal allergies, which have been bad all summer for me.

[sunflowerseed]

32. My Mom, she only has one lung, she lost the other to cancer.

[Baitball Blogger]

33. Me. I think.

I did get a harsh reaction from the first booster that still lingers. I assume it was the booster.

[relayerbob]

34. Not yet, at least that we know of

Up to 50% show no symptoms, though.

[Meadowoak]

35. Nope, not me.

[kimbutgar]

36. I had a bad flu like symptoms in January 2020.

My husband also had it. We thought it could have been a early covid infection but since then have never tested positive for covid. We both wore our masks religiously and stayed out of huge crowds.

Our son who lives in a group home tested positive last month for covid and he said it was like a bad cold and he recovered quickly.

[peggysue2]

65. Had the same thing, at the same time--a flu-like illness that . . .

put me on my back for 4 days, took 2+ weeks to clear and left a lingering cough for weeks longer.

Nasty.

Whole family spent Christmas with us and the whole family went home sick with the same symptoms. It was right before the daily reports and rising fear regarding Covid. I'd been tracking the virus for several weeks because the news surrounding it sounded different, more alarming.

Often wondered if we were one of the early birds. If so, my son came down with a second case last month. Same symptoms but he bounced back in 5 days. He was double-vaxxed.

My husband and I were both exposed (we're all living together in close quarters). But no infection.

[kimbutgar]

171. Yes I was really sick for 5 days and took me weeks also to get better.

My son has also been triple vaccinated and got a mild case.


I’m thinking maybe that early case gave us some immunity.

[beaglelover]

37. I don't believe I've had it.

I don’t believe I’ve had it. My husband had it two weeks ago and I’m really surprised I did not get it from him. But I just had my second booster in June. Maybe that helped.

[Archae]

38. Myself, no, I haven't had any symptoms at all.

Did I ever have Covid?
If I did, I never knew about it.

I got the Pfizer double shot more than a year ago.

[fierywoman]

84. Like this for me.

[dewsgirl]

39. My SO and I haven't either.

[CrispyQ]

40. Covid free household here.

But we're pretty reclusive & take precautions when we are around people. My sister was a little put out this year that I didn't attend her birthday party where her many, many friends, some of whom are Covid deniers & anti-vaxers, were in attendance. I imagine she's gonna be pissed at Christmas, too. Oh well.

[peggysue2]

41. Raising hand

Haven't had it. Neither has my husband.

We've been exposed but thus far have escaped infection.

[leftyladyfrommo]

42. Not that I know of. But it's really going around. nt

[mitch96]

43. Nor me.. Florida resident and geezer (70+), masked vaccinated and boosted x 1

Avoided indoor crowds and large gatherings of people at the pandemic height.
I don't know if it makes any difference but I rarely got the flu or colds for that matter.

I worked in a large metropolitan hospital and dealt with many, many sick people and
never got a "regular flu shot". Again I don't know if it matters but I'm a 95% vegan, gym rat meditating washed up hippy..
m

[Jirel]

44. Our entire COVID "pod" has avoided it.

3 couples,4 singles, are part of our “pod” that has worked together, socialized together, and done shows together since COVID began. Not a single one of us has caught it.

[usedtobedemgurl]

45. My partner and I have not had it. nt

[jerseyjim]

46. neither my wide nor I had COVID

Fully vaccinated. Used and still use masks (while everyone else thinks it's all over).
Stayed away from crowds or clusters of people. That also means we have not gone
to the movies and stayed out of restaurants. We have refused to invite anyone, including relatives who are
not fully vaccinated. When asked, my very conservative sister-in-law did not get the boosters because
had COVID so she has "plenty of immunities". This after her husband died on their bed after jogging. He had a strong
case of COVID but refused to go to the hospital or his doctor for treatment.

You would think she would be more cautious after finding my brother facing up with dead eyes open.

My wife wanted to invited her to a small get together. I said absolutely NOT if she still hasn't had her boosters.
My wife called her and started a conversation that led to her to ask my sister-in-law if she got the boosters.
She began to whine, well, noooo, whine whine. She was not invited.

Another couple we know (Democrats), who got COVID, said they didn't understand why they caught it. They even got
all the shots. But they ate indoors in restaurants. NO NO.

We can't afford to catch it. We both have heart and lung issues.

[onecaliberal]

47. Dare I say it.

[bamagal62]

48. I know a lot of people

Close to me that have not had it. My mom (91), my MIL (85), my son, my brother, and a bunch more family members. But, they are all very strict mask wearers and/or work from home, don’t travel, etc.

[MLAA]

49. So far managed to keep my husband and myself safe. Still wearing masks and not

going out much. Though we do go to matinees where I can see online how many tickets are sold. I pick off times and movies that have been out a few weeks so typically only 4-6 people in a large theater.

[louis-t]

50. Never had it. I know 10 people that died, relatives and friends.

Every other week I get news that someone else I know has it. Well over 100 people I know have had it. I end up filling in for those that get it, and I get paid for it. I suppose it's only a matter of time....

[Betty88]

51. So far so good

I take any shot available to me as soon as I can. Been lax with the mask lately but still put one on if a place is packed.

[Solomon]

52. I made it up to 2 weeks ago when I caught it. My wife still hasn't gotten it.

[ramapo]

53. Family is Covid free

So far…

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. I have not. And got myself all scared again because #covidisairborne

And #maskup were trending on Twitter last night.

Learned:

In newest strain, you can have it for 2 weeks, test negative, and then immediately get it again and again and again

Your brain ages 10 years if you've had it. (Although not sure if that applies to every strain there was)

[Ms. Toad]

193. I'm back in classes,

(as a student, rather than faculty) and not a single person in either of my classes is wearing a mask.

My class today ran over and the next professor to enter the room came over to me and said, "What is this, a hold-up?"

He had to explain he was asking about/making a joke about my mask.

I responded that I was just diagnosed with several immune deficiencies. If I hadn't been caught off guard (since it has been a long time since anyone commented on my mask), I would have just quoted the infection rate in our county and suggested he should be masking, too. You shouldn't need an excuse to take steps to protect yourself/

[JanMichael]

211. He sounds like a dick head.

[Ms. Toad]

214. He does.

From my brief interactions with him, I think he just has no filter.

But I was really taken aback in a University which, until recently, had random mandatory testing, mandatory vaccination, mandatory mask wearing through most of last year, and still optional at the professor's determination.

It's been a long time since anyone, even in the general public, commented on my mask wearing.

ETA: On Rate My Professor 4 students commented on his sense of humor - 3 said it was the worst/bad jokes/has none. The 4th said hs had a good sense of humor. Overall, though, his rating is one of the better I've seeen 4.8/5. That matches with my sense that he just lacks a filter.

[LakeArenal]

55. Count both of us noncovid.

[GAdem2016]

56. Neither me (60yo) nor my husband (66yo) have had it. (nt)

[claudette]

57. I don't want to jinx it

[Raftergirl]

58. Still haven't had it.

Also, no one in my immediate family (H,kid and gf) either. My 93 yr old mom has also stayed CV free, and my sister, her H, kids, and grandkids. A few cousins have had it, some before vaccine.

Out of all my friends only 3 have had CV. One couple who just got it on while on vacation in Iceland and one of my tennis friends.

[mvd]

59. Not that I know of

Still masking up to keep it that way. Thinking about getting a booster in the fall.

[hedda_foil]

60. Me. I haven't had it.

[karynnj]

61. My husband and I never had it

[Picaro]

62. No Covid

No Covid even after my wife brought home Covid from Vegas.

[marybourg]

63. Me.

[caraher]

64. My wife and I haven't had it yet

Nor have my sons, our daughter-in-law, our two grandchildren (both under 3 years old). My mother and her husband haven't, nor have my three sisters.

My brother (a RWNJ, for what that's worth) and his family have had it, as have two nephews. In my family overall fewer have had COVID than not.

[Mad_Machine76]

66. Covid finally got us in June

Had a good run of it until then. My wife came back from Europe almost literally the day they stopped the testing requirements and she said that somebody on the plane sitting near her mentioned they had Covid, so we're pretty sure that that's how she got it and spread it around- all except for my daughter, who was on the plane too. But it's just amazing how it just quickly spread around the house. First, my wife and I tested positive, then my stepkids pretty shortly thereafter. My daughter was the only one who somehow never got sick. We were all vaxxed and boosted, so our symptoms were pretty mild but it still sucked bad for a couple of days. Lots of people I know who never had it are suddenly getting it, so there's almost nobody I know left who hasn't. The reports of the current variant(s) being VERY transmissible seem pretty darn accurate. Looking to get another shot once the new formulation is ready in September(?)

[Mr.Bill]

67. Me, right up until last night.

I posted about it here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181698869

[Irish_Dem]

68. I have not had it.

I have been extra careful with masks and not going into crowds.

[ananda]

69. Yes.

And I can't wait for the next booster.

I NEVER want to get Covid.

[FoxNewsSucks]

70. Not as far as I know.

But I know of a few people who did get it, had symptoms and tested positive. Had they not been exposed to someone that tested positive, they would not have known they had it. I never had a reason to get tested because of exposure to anyone, so I don't really know.

I still avoid crowds and small crowded places, and stay home a lot.

[indigovalley]

71. I have not and I'm a teacher

Knock on wood I've avoided it so far. I wear a KN95 mask at school and in public places. I've had students sick with COVID sitting 3 feet away from me more than once. I am sure at some point I will catch it.

[Kaleva]

72. My wife and I haven't.

[sarcasmo]

73. No covid here, delivery orders only. No stores, No crowds.

[quaint]

74. Still healthy while family and friends have had third and fourth light bouts while fully vaccinated.

I mask when not isolated and vape cannabis daily.

[BannonsLiver]

75. Right here.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

76. There is no

way we DU'ers are getting Covid.

[BannonsLiver]

79. We've had a bunch of people who have had it and posted about it

Including two or three of the forums biggest Covid scolds.

[MyMission]

77. I'm part of this minority too

Never had covid.

Vaxed, double boosted AND I wear a mask.
I work in retail and 2 coworkers had it last month.

[bikebloke]

78. Never has it either.

Double jabbed and boostered. I still mask in stores and the library.

[phylny]

80. I have not had Covid, although my husband has.

He stayed on a different level of our house and we wore masks if he had to come upstairs briefly. Neither our three daughters nor our three sons-in-law have had it either.

I wear a mask in public always. I don’t go to indoor restaurants, wash my hands frequently, especially when I come home, and when we have had big family get together’s (for instance, our granddaughter’s first birthday party), we all tested before we got together.

I was at a church meeting last Thursday where we were all masked. I put myself at the other end of a long conference table and there was no one around me. We got notification on Friday that a pastor who was in the meeting had tested positive for Covid. It may be his third time having Covid. Yes, he is fully vaccinated and boosted. He even had long Covid and he’s still recovering from it. Today is Wednesday and I feel fine.

[LuckyCharms]

81. Myself and my spouse...as of this minute, anyway. n/t

[lamp_shade]

82. Nope. At least not as far as I know.

[KentuckyWoman]

83. As far as I know ... no.

The research is starting to show a good many of us who thought we never had it actually had a very mild version or were asymptomatic.

I still mask indoors and pick my poison so to speak.

[luvs2sing]

85. Not to my knowledge.

Hubster and I have both had a couple nasty respiratory bugs but consistently tested negative. We are obsessive maskers, only go to restaurants or clubs when cases are less than 50 per 100,000.

I almost got caught in a superspreader event in the spring. Cases were low when this event, which was outdoors, was planned, but exploded the week of the event. Just my luck, good or bad, take your pick, I fractured my shoulder three days before the event so didn’t attend. Ten percent of the attendees caught Covid, about fifty people. They were all vaccinated, since that was a requirement to attend, and everyone recovered without problems within a couple weeks.

It’s a strange feeling to balance out whether getting Covid would have been worse than the fracture, subsequent surgery, and lengthy recovery.

[BComplex]

86. So far no covid in our household!

Just me and the hubbers and 2 dogs.

[bif]

87. My wife and I haven't

[Generic Brad]

177. Same here

And I’m out in public every day.

[Emrys]

89. I'm in Scotland, not had it yet.

Which is little short of miraculous considering my wife had it (plus a nasty suspected deep vein thrombosis as a sequela, though it didn't end up being that after scans).

We did follow all the recommended precautions, but even so.

[scarletlib]

90. So far so good. My husband and myself.

[Arger68]

91. Not that I know of

Double vaxxed and double boosted

[Hekate]

92. Not us two, knock on wood

[Heather MC]

93. Nope!

Never had the Flu either🤷🏾‍♀️

[Fiendish Thingy]

94. Two more here...fingers crossed. Nt

[Hobo]

95. Luckily I have not had it

I am triple vaccinated and I mask up when I go outside.

Hobo

[Cozmo]

96. Me

[CaliforniaPeggy]

97. Neither me nor my husband has ever had it (as far as I know!). We are still being careful. n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

98. Never had it. Don't want it.

Living like a hermit, but not getting it.

Will be first in like when the new boosters come out next month.

[samplegirl]

99. We escaped it

Thank God.

[NoMoreRepugs]

100. Live in DuhhSantis FL and neither wife or I have contracted it - YET.

[CMYK]

101. Count me in

My wife and I have stayed safe in this Red NC county, with only 45% vaccination. We still wear masks going out.

[BradAllison]

102. Me and my direct family.

[RustyWheels]

103. Nope

Have never tested positive.

[Handler]

104. We never caught it. Being vaccinated and very careful helped a lot

[BradBo]

105. I'm an emergency worker. I've had that crud twice now.

[Aviation Pro]

106. Me

...

[NNadir]

107. My wife, one of my sons.

[secondwind]

108. No Covid in our house.............

[SharonAnn]

109. Me and none of my friends

[TexasTowelie]

110. I haven't had COVID.

However, I'm almost a recluse since I'm in a wheelchair living in a second floor apartment.

[SharonAnn]

111. Me and none of my friends

[h2ebits]

112. To my knowledge I have not had COVID either

[llmart]

113. I haven't had it.

Neither have my oldest sister and my son. All three of us have followed every protocol and gotten all the vaccinations.

[moreland01]

114. Nobody at my house has had it.

Add us 2 to your list.

[calimary]

115. Husband and me.

Our son who double-masked from the beginning.

And our daughter and son-in-law. Hopefully his side of the family as well.

We take the warnings seriously.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

116. Not as far as I know.

Just spent the weekend at the lake house with a big group so fingers crossed.

I’ve had the sniffles a few times in the last couple years so who knows. My partner is super paranoid and tests himself all the time. So I figure I’m tested a lot by proxy.

My buddy who is fully vaccinated and boosted was very sick about a month ago. He said it was the sickest he’s ever been in his life. He picked it up at a local music fest (Fitzgerald’s Bar) that he tried to get me to go to. I’m glad I was too tired from work to go.

I really really really don’t want it.

[deRien]

117. in my family

my husband, two daughters, son-in-law and I haven't had COVID as well as a number of cousins, etc...

[TNNurse]

118. Me, my husband, my sister

and several of my friends. But we have made the effort to avoid it. We are vaxxed as much as we can be. We are over 70 and we wear masks and avoid groups. Yes, some of it has been sad or disappointing, but we feel it is worth it.

[tblue37]

119. I haven't had it yet.

Of course, this claim should be qualified with "As far as we know," since some people never show any symptoms .

But I'm pretty isolated and very careful, so I believe my claim that I've never had it is accurate.

[Katcat]

120. I could have replied I've never had it.

But that would have been last week. Before covid I babysat my 8 year old GD when school was out and holidays. Then covid hit.
On 6/22/2022 I was stepping down from an outside building and stepped into a hole that I didn’t see. Broke 3 bones in left foot and ankle inc tibia.
Since I’ve been laid up, son and GD came down Saturday and he left her with me while he golfed a bit. When she got home Saturday night she threw up everything she’d eaten. Still sick on Sunday so covid test time. Positive. So he tells me because the time she’d spent with me was mostly on the bed, close. No covid Monday, got up Tuesday and knew I was sick even before the test. Took it and 2 lines showed up almost immediately.
Worst year ever!

[Stinky The Clown]

122. We have not. We follow all precautions. And mask, mask, mask!

[pandr32]

123. So far so good for us.

Our daughter picked it up coming back from Mexico, though, but she has her own house now. We mask up everywhere.

[RussBLib]

124. 4 of 16 in our fam have never had it

Me, my wife, her youngest sister and her husband

[Ninga]

125. The Mr and I - nada so far.

[BadGimp]

126. Never...

[Half-step]

127. I think I have dodged it...

Unless I had it and was asymptomatic.

[babsbunny]

128. Hubby and I haven't had covid

We are vaxxed and double boosted.

[hot2na]

129. Never had it

[WinstonSmith4740]

130. Don't think so.

I was exposed at my great niece's 1st birthday in 2020, and the vaccines weren't available yet. My nephew tested positive a couple of days later and it hit him hard, but he's OK. Laid low for a few days, loaded up on vitamins and anti-oxidants. Never experienced any symptoms, but doesn't mean I wouldn't have tested positive.

I credit weed. https://potterhemp.com/blogs/immunity/is-cannabis-antiviral-heres-what-the-research-says-in-2021
Even if it turns out it doesn't have the anti-viral properties it looks like it may, pathogens don't do well in heat, which may be the reason cigarette smokers had a lower incidence.

[SergeStorms]

131. Not here. There's more of us than you think.

Knock on 🪵 wood.

[highplainsdem]

132. I haven't.

[luv2fly]

133. As far as I know, a big nope

And I intend to keep it that way.

[colorado_ufo]

134. My husband hasn't.

[PennyC]

135. Not us

We've been careful...except for my trip to NYC and then Hawaii for my daughter's wedding. In HI, no one wore masks at the resort. The bride, her sister, and the groom later had it (they're in NYC), but Hubby and I are still good (and still masking).

[MiHale]

136. Both my wife and I never had it...

My neighbors on either side of me have never gotten covid, adding it up that’s another 6 people.
Truthfully in our great town not too many people were ever affected.

[Joinfortmill]

137. So far, so good for me.

[Dave says]

138. I have not had COVID

…knocking on wood as I say that…

[Bettie]

139. If I've had it, I did not have symptoms

at all.

So, maybe?

[barbtries]

141. Maybe.

There is a chance that in Oct2019, when I went to CA and ended up really sick for 9 whole days, I had COVID. But it wasn't a thing yet. It's known that it was in CA at that time, but we're never going to know if that's what I had. Probably more unlikely than not, however, that's my caveat.

My 37-year-old son lives with me, worked at a grocery all through the pandemic, and neither of us have had it. My 30-year-old son and his fiancee have never had it (she's been exposed more than once) to my knowledge.

My 46-year-old, his wife, and their 3 children have all had it (they live in CA). So have many if not most of the people I know, even those who are baffled as to how they got it.

I do know how you feel, I wonder why we haven't gotten it yet.

I have a very strong feeling that the events of 30Sep2022 (rehearsal) and 01Oct2022 (30 yo's wedding) may change all that. Also I expect I may be the only person at these events wearing a mask.

[BootinUp]

142. I either had it very early and mild or not

At all

[MissMillie]

143. I have not had COVID

I am fortunate enough to be able to limit my contact with other people. When I am around other people, I take every precaution.

I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

[Lunabell]

145. I have never had any severe symptoms.

So, I don't believe I have. I've had some mild cold like symptoms in the past few years, but have never tested for it. I'm fully vaxxed and boosted.

[Golfnbrew]

146. Nope

Wife and I have become hermits. Grocery shopping and doctors offices, nothing else. And we're the only ones in the grocery with masks, these days.
But two vaccines, two boosters, and people-avoiding has done us fine.

[IronLionZion]

147. I haven't yet (knock on wood)

and I'm not even the most careful person these days after being vaccinated and boosted. So it is bound to happen sooner or later.

I wear masks for indoor concerts, transit, airlines, etc. I don't for the office, gym, or restaurants but mostly sit outdoors if possible. As an introvert I generally avoid people regardless of the pandemic.

[Chainfire]

148. I do not think that my wife or I had had Covid, but I am not sure.

We have had some sneezy, sore throat, achy spells, much like the common cold, but of shorter duration. We are both double boosted.

[Luciferous]

149. Nobody in my house has had it.

[Higherarky]

150. Me.

V&B

So far, so good.👍😎

[BlueJac]

151. Never!

[Mz Pip]

152. I haven't

My husband and I are the only ones in our family who haven’t had it. It’s only a matter of time though.

[themaguffin]

153. Not me, my wife or son have had it (that we are aware of)

[Red Pest]

154. Neither my wife nor I have had covid-19.

Both of us have been vaccinated (all four injections). I have been exposed to some co-workers who became overtly ill the next day (so they were contagious when they entered my office) and I did not become infected.

Both of our daughters have been fully vaccinated (3 or 4 shots) and neither has been infected. In fact, one daughter cared for her covid-infected husband (also fully vaccinated) and did not get infected.

Similarly, my five younger siblings & their spouses (all vaccinated) have thus far been covid infection free. All of us have been tested by PCR &/or rapid antigen tests. I attribute this good fortune to good immunity and good infection-control practices.

I am looking forward to the release of the new bivalent covid vaccines in the coming weeks.

[Siwsan]

155. I was exposed so if I did I was totally asymptomatic

My brother had it, late Feb/early March of 2020 so right at the start of the spread. He was at my house twice when he was probably still contagious. I had a slight head cold at the time. There was a theory that already having a type of corona virus might help protect from Covid 19 but I don't know if that was ever actually proven.

So, who knows.

I've also never had any symptoms of flu.

[SilverDawg]

156. I haven't Or

Haven’t had symptoms enough to test

[CottonBear]

157. Me, my partner, my mom, & my sister.

Unfortunately, my kid got it when he went back to school in person. He was fully vaccinated & double masked, and so only had a mild case. He received the monoclonal antibody treatment, which was amazingly effective.

My son, partner & I are fully vaccinated & double boosted. We wear N95 masks in indoor public spaces and don’t eat inside restaurants.

[liberal_mama]

158. There are 15 people in my immediate family. Only 2 of them have had Covid.

My husband (who was careless with wearing a mask) got Covid in January 2022. My sister's husband got Covid in April 2022, he said he wore a mask and was careful, but he might have had a weak moment and didn't tell us because he knew we'd be mad. The rest of us, despite living in a county in New York that has had high transmission during most of the pandemic, have managed to protect ourselves with well-fitted N95s. It's best to avoid getting infected with a novel virus as so many things are unknown.

[zappaman]

159. Here!

[HipChick]

160. Never had it, and I travel lot internationally...

[BumRushDaShow]

162. So far so good

[orleans]

163. i haven't had it

neither has my daughter, her husband, their toddler

i work with a lot of kids--a lot of kids have had it

i've always worn masks--the parents of kids i work with (90%) think it's okay their kids are not masked. they also think it's okay to send their kids to class when they are SICK! so that way their kids can give it to the other unmasked kids whose parents think it's fine their kid doesn't wear a mask!

it's a stupid, never ending cycle.

and i cannot require kids to mask up.

[40RatRod]

164. Nope and I still wear a mask when shopping. Looking forward to the next booster too.

[BlueMTexpat]

165. So far, not. eom

[mtngirl47]

166. Never--unless I was asymptomatic n/t

[ChazInAz]

167. I'm one.

Everyone around me has had it.
Got the vaccine, all the boosters, isolated when it first started and pretty much stayed there for a year.
Still tend to be reclusive.

[Marthe48]

168. As far as I know

I've avoided getting covid. And I hope I keep avoiding it

Glad you are part of the gang who is steering clear of infection!

[Lonestarblue]

169. I have not, and several friends have also avoided it.

I still wear a mask when I’m in a store—usually the only one.

[treestar]

170. Knock wood , no

[moonscape]

172. No Covid here, and lots of

friends who haven’t either. Most of us are very careful but still just got lucky.

[iscooterliberally]

173. Neither I nor my wife have had it yet.

We're both vaxxed and boosted. She works for a medical lab and swabs people for COVID. We have both been tested quite a few times and have never had it. It's not like we haven't taken any risks though. We're very fortunate to have not come down with COVID.

[JustAnotherGen]

174. Me and my husband

[LisaM]

175. My SO and I have not.

Granted, we are careful. He works in the medical profession and wears N95 (he is not in direct contact with patients). I work from home and am relatively isolated. We have gotten all of our shots and boosters as soon as possible.

We mask pretty well. I need to ride transit once in a while (in Seattle) and always mask. We both mask in elevators and in stores. We have both taken a few airline trips but mask in lines and on the plane except when eating. We rarely go out but distance and mask until we are seated separately from others.

We have been careful but not perfect. I think at this point, the best you can do is just mask and distance as much as possible.

[judesedit]

176. Me...knock on wood lol

[happy feet]

178. Not me - yet, anyway.

Knock on wood.

[tanyev]

179. Mr. tanyev and I have avoided it so far.

But several people in my department who had also avoided it so far are now out with it. Fingers crossed.

[Hela]

180. Five more for your list!

Me, my husband and our two adult sons have not had it, and neither has my 94-year-old mom. Everybody's vaxxed to the max, and we are still masking and limiting social interaction.

I guess it helps to be something of a hermit!

[TygrBright]

181. Me. Also the darling esposo. n/t

[TomSlick]

182. Not to my knowledge.

It is possible that being fully vaccinated and boosted, I've been infected and didn't know it.

[Postal Grunt]

183. No Covid here

My wife and I who are both vaxxed and double boosted are fortunate enough to say that neither of us has had Covid.

[Historic NY]

184. Nothing that I recognized as such

2x vax 1 boost. 2nd one due oct.

[cilla4progress]

185. Me and

husband.

[japple]

187. My sister and I haven't had it.

[ancianita]

188. Never. I suggest you create a poll. The numbers might be useful here.

Whether we're any representative sample of the larger population or not is another question. But for here a poll might be useful.

[Magoo48]

189. Neither my wife or I have had it. I've never been tested. So who knows?

[blueinredohio]

190. My husband and I have never had it.

We are also vaxxed, boosted and wear our masks when we go out.

[Nevilledog]

191. Hubby and I are Covid virgins.

[LAS14]

192. Neither me or hubby. Fully vaccinated. Wear N95's when mixing with strangers.

I wish I knew more of the circumstances when DUers report they caught COVID. Did they mask? Does the public in general mask? etc.

[Wingus Dingus]

194. I never tested positive for it, neither has my younger son--

neither have my elderly parents. But I'm willing to bet we all had it in some form or another. I'm pretty sure I had it.

[tavernier]

195. I have not despite living in Florida and

taking many flights over past two years, eating out, going on vacations, working part time.But at the same time I have had two shots and two boosters, regular flu shots, wear a mask, follow proper hygiene, daily exercise, and healthy diet.
Still and all, it wouldn’t be a shock if I tested positive. I’m pretty cute and I’ve attracted all sorts of varmints in my 75 years.

[In It to Win It]

196. I haven't had it and I'm in Florida

[IrishEyes]

197. I've never had covid. I don't know many people who have had it.

Of course, I live alone and work remotely right now so I don't interact daily with as many people in person as before covid. My parents, step parents and brothers haven't had covid. My mom would have told me if any of my aunts and uncles had tested positive. I have a large but pretty close Irish family.

[roody]

198. I have not had it.

I have the luxury of being retired, but began substitute teaching last Feb. I was very strict about masking, but have gotten a little loose this summer on vacation. Have had 4 vaccines.
My nephew-in-law did not get it even though his vaxxed wife and 2 daughters were quite sick with it last December.

[IcyPeas]

199. never had it.

[Raven]

200. Worked hard not to get it.

[zuul]

201. I've never had it.

Ditto for all family members except one niece in Texas.

[malaise]

203. Never had it

One of my siblings had it (in Florida), but she had very few symptoms.

[malaise]

204. Never had it

One of my siblings had it (in Florida), but she had very few symptoms.

[Beausoleil]

205. We never had it

at least not that we are aware of!

Fully vaxed and boosted.

[inthewind21]

206. Nope

Never had it.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

207. I've never had it that I know of.

Fully vaxxed and boosted. Will get the next one as soon as it's available.

[onetexan]

208. 2 of our kids & i have not had it. 2 other kiddos & the hubby did.

[Mosby]

209. You should have set up a poll. Yes, no, more than once.

[JanMichael]

210. Nope. Neither of us have had it.

Both vaccinated. I have had two boosters she has had one. We both wear our masks at work. We rarely eat out now and when we do we sit outside.

But we figure eventually we might. Because the rest of the world doesn't seem to give a s***.

[Biophilic]

212. So far, so good. Don't know whether it was luck, care, or the vaccines.

[nolabear]

213. Nope. Nor has hubs and only one extended family member.

We're all careful--well, most of us are--but somehow we've avoided it.

My daughter in law's preschool-kindergarten opens in a couple of weeks though, so fingers crossed. They require vaccinations and are extremely careful but random is random.

[Karma13612]

215. I haven't ever

Been diagnosed with it, no.

Hubby and I lived like hermits initially. I did the shopping once every 7-10 days and in those days you washed all outside packaging with a bleach solution.

Even went thru the gloves phase. Wore mask and used hand gel constantly, even when it was 25 deg F outside with a strong wind blowing-this was prior to getting back into car after food shopping.

As facts clarified, we adjusted behavior to only masks and alcohol gel.

As soon as vac were available for our age (66+ for me, 72 for hubby), we got the jabs. Also got boosted twice.

If I HAVE had it, it was milder than a case of flu.

[roamer65]

216. No one can be truly sure if they've had all their shots.

Asymptomatic cases have happened.

I’ve had the 4 shots and I suspect I had it this last January. Recently was around a whole bunch who came down with it and I didn’t. That’s now why I think I had it in January.

[meadowlander]

217. I've never had a positive test.

About two months ago I had to travel for a work event where two other people tested positive. I had flu-like symptoms when I got back but had four negative Covid tests.

So I'm semi-assuming I've had it but may not have.

[shanti]

218. Not that I know of

However, I was really sick (and in bed) for about 5 days in February 2020, way before Covid testing. Never really knew what it was though.

[Delmette2.0]

219. I have never had it, neither has my sister.

[mopinko]

220. me. just got my 1st boost.

until recently i havent been around many ppl.
lots of folks around me now.

[Eugene]

221. Haven't had it. Still wearing masks around people.

Vaccinated, boosted and still social distancing as much as possible.

[Iggo]

222. Right here.

Far as I know, I’ve never had it.

[we can do it]

223. Not that I am aware of. Still masking.😷

[Dorian Gray]

224. Me

Though I should have gotten it. My daughter and husband had it. When she was positive, I decided I’d go down with her. She slept in bed with me every night and hung out with me during the day, as I worked at home. My husband didn’t want to miss work, as it was the final week with his students. So he slept in a different room and isolated from us.

Lo and behold, he ended up getting it days later. I never tested positive. (And I took two PCR tests and daily rapid tests.). I did get boosted not long before, so that may have afforded me extra protection. But my child literally slept in bed with me and spent 24/7 with me, unmasked. So either I am super immune or it was a fluke and I’ll get it soon. (They both had it and recovered in May.).

[drmeow]

225. As far as I'm aware

Neither my spouse nor I have had it.

My brother, his wife, and two have also been spared.

[DemocraticPatriot]

226. I have not, so far as I know...

(unless it was non-symptomatic). Never have felt the need to be tested...

but I have masked since near the beginning, still do, and fully vaccinated and boosted,
still practicing social distancing as much as possible (no inside venues more crowded than the grocery store, and the one I use is rarely crowded)
