Feels like a moderately bad flu. It seems like I might be the only person who had not yet been infected.

I have not.
Felt crappy about 5 days after a vacation and crowded planes/airports in May, took multiple in-home tests, and one in a dr's office, all negative, and just ended up being a bad cold then sinus infection.
Haven't had it.
I know quite a few people who haven't had it. Amongst the folks I know, it's perhaps 50-50.
I have not had it and neither has my wife. 3 of our 4 kids have had it, but we've managed to miss it.
It was kind of like that for me. Over 60 and I KNOW that my exercise habits made a huge difference in being able to come back.. Back to 7 min pace.
I have not got it and my classroom was a hot spot for Covid a couple of times this year.
No real way to know for sure. I’ve not tested positive but could’ve been asymptotically infected. Pretty sure there are many in that category of not ever having tested positive.
There's a lot of us, including my Primary Care Physician who has seen thousands of patients since this all started, who never got it. It does not hit everyone equally, but it did float around seemingly everywhere. Several people died from COVID within a mile of my home, including one a half block away.
I may get it any day. Nothing special about me. It just has not been my turn. Got vaccinated, wore masks a lot, stayed in a lot, but so did tens of millions of people who got COVID anyway.
My luck held out until seven days ago, when I finally succumbed. Mine, too, felt like a moderately bad flu. I had no frightening or COVID-specific symptoms, but I felt quite bad for a few days and now, on Day 7, I'm still sniffling and coughing. My husband got it three days after me and has similar symptoms. We're both in our 60s, vaxxed and once-boosted.
My Archie Bunker of a dad died from covid this past Sunday. I stayed away from everyone who has gone to see him.
I also have not had it. Neither has my son. My wife and other son both had it. We're all vaxxed, so both were really mild.
Hmm...more people than I thought haven't had it. I really thought I was one of the last.
I've been watching my symptoms very carefully (mainly out of curiosity) and have taken no medications. The only weird symptom that I have had is what I would describe as micro-hallucinations. For example, I was watching the 1500 meters world champ final and thought to myself, 'what if Webb was in this race" and for a microsecond Alan Webb glitched into the race and then he was gone before I even realized that I was hallucinating.
Never tested positive. Went thru swim periods where I thought I had it, mostly fatigue but turned out I had other biomarkers to account for the fatigue.
My mom caught it when visiting me for the holidays, but when she got symptoms I wore a mask around her and sprayed the surfaces constantly with Lysol.
Oh, I remember that thread you started a couple weeks ago about him being in the ICU. I had thought you were trolling.
You were never able to make peace with him? Or perhaps he didn't deserve it?
I had something really bad in early February of 2020. Although I travel internationally a lot, I had not been to China. I was told it could not be Covid if I hadn't been to China. I was out of work for three days, and it took weeks for the cough to go away.
In hindsight, it was probably Covid, because we now know it was in circulation in late 2019. So plenty of chances for me to pick it up while overseas even if not in China.
I have since been vaccinated and boosted and have yet to get it again, though my wife has had it, and several close friends and co-workers. I did nothing to prevent getting ill while my wife was sick with it. No mask, no quarantine.
If the 2020 thing was "just the flu, bro", then I guess I haven't had it either.
I’ve not had covid that I know of, and that includes caring for an unvaxxed child (was too young for the shot at the time) who had it. I don’t get the comparisons to the flu though. I’ve never had that either that I’m aware of.
I'm just glad that I didn't get it in the summer of 2020. I would have been paranoid that I was going to get shortness of breath and die in my sleep.
I sort of have shortness of breath now, but that's because my nose is stuffed up and I have this kind of sleep apnea thing going on because of the liquid mucus sliding around in my throat.
That was his spirit. Covid makes you see spirits. Webb is a mischievous devil and spirit-bandits races
I have not had it, at least not that I am aware of. Out of the five people in our household, only one has had it.
As far as I know I haven't. Then again, I don't test.
