Who HASN'T had Covid?

[MerryMarigold]

I haven't. I've been in work (out of home) since June 2nd 2020 and I work with 2-4 year olds, mostly covered in bodily fluids. Nearly everyone I know has had it, including 2 of my children. Dh, DS1 and I have not had it. I feel like it's a waiting game now.

@YellowClouds

I haven't, I have had 2 antibodies tests around 6 months apart and both have been negative.

Most people I know have had it, including my DC and close friends who I have been around. So I think I've been lucky?! Only had one vaccine so far.

I had an antibody from infection test about 6 months after my positive PCR and it was negative so I guess you could have had it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Me, my DH and two primary school aged DCs.

@Mrsjayy

How do you get antibody tests I've not heard anything about them?

I had an NHS invitation to do an antibody test

To the best of my knowledge, I haven’t had covid and neither has DP or our parents.

I’m asthmatic, so I was very, very cautious from several weeks before the first lockdown until after my second jab. Because I WFH I figured that I had a good chance of dodging the bullet if I was careful. I barely saw anyone or went anywhere for 15 months, but it was worth it. I’m 90% back to normal life now.

We were the same. Worked all through, not hidden away, just taken the usual precautions. Just this week we’ve all gone done with it! I think it’s getting hard to avoid and it’s just whether you become symptomatic or asymptomatic.

Most people surely? There's like 64million people in the country (but I am admittedly very bad at maths so happy to be corrected!).

I haven't.
DH has we think but it was at the start of March 2020 so can't be sure.
No one in my family has.
I don't know any friends who have had it.

Me, dh and 2 kids haven't had it. Though I have been off for almost a year on mat leave, dh working from home. I'm going back in a few weeks to work and dh going into a new job so hope we don't get it.

I feel bad for people living in places where GPs aren't seeing anyone. How can that really be the case? During covid I've been to GP many a time with the kids (and love their email-first system to see if it's actually necessary to go in), been to NHS hospital loads (pregnant), been to private hospital twice, been to a private sonographer twice, dentist (this has been a nightmare backlog wise to be fair), been to the optician... Things haven't ground to a halt here thank god!

Me and none of my immediate family as far as I know.

I haven’t and I know for certain as I get an antibody test once a month and it was always negative until I was vaccinated. My husband is the same. My eldest child had it last year and I don’t think my other child has had it.

Suspected only - Christmas 2019. We think me and my daughter had it.

I've been to multiple medium capacity indoor gigs recently and did in Feb/March before shut down too, as well as restaurants, cinema etc.
We think dh got it from a gig end February 2020.

My eldest teenager has been a close contact multiple times but has failed to catch it.

I haven't

I wonder how many of us had it and were symptomless , or presented with symptoms that didn't qualify for a test .

Nope worked on a ward throughout. Worked with covid (not all the time but positive patients regularly ) not caught it and two negative antibody tests. Plus been LFT testing since last year twice a week.

As far as I know, I haven't. Never any symptoms, never had a positive test (although I've only ever had three tests).

Worldometer is showing the UK at 9,406,001 cases at the moment, that's still only about 14% of the population, although I appreciate it's probably an underestimate. From reading the news and social media you'd think practically everyone would have had it by now - all the talk of ripping through!

This article from Today may explain why those of us exposed have not had it

I too have been working with young children almost throughout and to my knowledge have not had it

So far, we are all clear here

We haven't, goodness knows how. DH works out of the house in an area that has regularly had one of the highest rates of infection, DD in yr11 and been a close contact umpteen times, DSiL a teacher and tested positive just before half-term after being at ours for dinner the day before.
We've been to loads of gigs and festivals - always negative lft beforehand but others have picked it up at the same events.
Do feel like it's literally a matter of time now

None of us in our house have - most of my extended family have though.

Should add that I know loads of colleagues have had it pre and post vaccines: some on leave for a month, some with minimal symptoms. A friend and my uncle died from it both had health conditions but not at deaths door or anything. My close circle: one of my best friends has had it post vaccine and been quite poorly but at home. Still lingering a month later. It’s such a weird virus that you never know how it will affect you.

I've worked throughout lockdowns, both my kids have been positive for covid. I've never been positive. Bizarre.

Not me or my husband or kids, not any of my siblings or their children, not my parents or in-laws. All as vaccinated as possible. Am convinced it will be soon but not sure I am being rational.

Me nor anyone in my immediate family of 5, none of their girl/boyfriends, not my 89 year old parents. 3 sisters and 1 brother all married with kids and grandchildren and not a single case between us spread over 3 continents. I was actually very ill the Christmas of 2019 and wonder now was it covid but since then, I'm the healthiest I've ever been.
