Has anyone else not had covid?

[Allmyghosts]

For the whole of the period covid was rampant I wasn't ill once. Just before I had pneumonia, went away with antibiotics. Ds2 tested positive, but wasn't actually ill, the rest of us were all resolutely negative. I find it weird, surely I should have had it by now?

Wow! I wouldn't have expected that.

Not knowingly - we had a stockpile of tests so I tested every time I had cold-like symptoms, all negative. DS and DH tested positive at different points and I assumed I had already been exposed and would get it both times, but nothing.

Thank you.
I usually get abuse on here when I talk about shielding and restricting me social life, but at least I'm alive and living how I want to

20% of population not having got COVID is actually 13 million people
I have not had it, my DD has not had it despite 28 out of her class of 30 having had it,
I am not anti- vac but definitely anti lockdowns

From what I've observed, a fair number of the staff had had enough of masks by the time they went.

I'm not surprised. I can never stop the damn things fogging my glasses - even the Elastoplast across the nose trick doesn't work - and I can't imagine trying to work all day like that. I used to shudder for any cabbies who wore glasses, too.

Masks are still worn in hospitals in NZ too - or they were when I was last visiting one in January - and many people still wear them if they are sick (not with covid, they are supposed to be at home if they have that!).

I’ve had it twice knowingly and once which I suspected but didn’t test. Each time milder - feel like I’m building immunity. Therefore I’m not sure not having it is necessarily a good thing? I want to get to the point where it’s a very mild cold which can be brushed off easily.

I wonder if a certain percentage of the population are just naturally immune though.

Could be coincidental but it seems as though it’s often the front line workers, supermarket workers, teachers who appear not to have had it. So the ones that didn’t lockdown and had to go to work. My theory is they were exposed to continual small doses of the virus which built up the immunity. The rest of us had to lockdown and had no exposure to any illnesses and then we got the full exposure when we all mixed again.

And thus lockdown wasn’t the best idea for healthy people.

Never knowingly had it. Worked In care during lockdown and was working directly with Covid positive patients. Tested constantly throughout the year.

We still have to test for work. Currently positive!

That’s quite a statement to make. How would you know who’s healthy enough in advance etc.

Until two weeks ago no I hadn’t and as a pretty healthy person it’s absolutely floored me.

No not had it at all - DH has had it twice and DS15 once . I count myself very lucky

I've no idea really. I know I tested negative in July 21 when my husband and oldest two kids tested positive. My then 4 year old and I tested negative.

I haven't tested since but have had a couple of coughs/colds so I could have had it without knowing. If I have it must have been very mild. I have had 3 vaccinations against it.

I had covid pre vaccine and was very unwell for a few months, have also had it this year and felt a bit unwell for a week and then tired for about 6 weeks. DH and DS caught it at that time, we all tested. DH was like me and DS would not have known he had it as barely affected him. His GF also had it and it was like a slightly bad cold.

DH had an elderly relative die and I knew someone who was only 35 and died in the early days, that was horribly sad and very frightening.

Never had it. I did hibernate the whole time it was supposedly rife though. Did all the washing shopping, quarantining post etc. Got ill a few times but never tested positive. Never lost sense of smell or taste.

You've all had it but just didn't know you had it.

I've never had it... no idea how, I was working and training with an employee who had a "cold" that night tested positive, got very poorly, we closed every single worker got infected... except me even though I was her trainer that day.

That's happened twice where I've been with infected but never got it, when everyone else around me did.

My parents home all caught it, my mum very poorly with it, my dad asymptomatic (he was the one shielding with no immune system whilst on chemo) it's weird haha

I mentioned it to a doctor, he said some people are naturally resistant which is why some healthcare never got infected whilst working day to day with it and others sadly passed away :(

I would say the more than 7 million dead worldwide and the millions with Long Covid and the other long-term health ramifications of having had Covid are proof that the lockdowns were necessary. The death and ongoing illness rates would be astronomical without that circuit breaker in the early phases of the pandemic.

Neither me or my DH have had it. We both continued to work outside the home and carried on life as normal, shopping and socialising etc.

Dm, late 80's and DF, mid 90's. Both went about their daily lives through lockdown, their regular walks into town even when nothing was open. They abided by rules but, I think, secretly thought it was a lot of twaddle.
They're never ill

I haven't had it, neither has my husband or any member of our family and we don't know anyone that has had it, no friends of ours or colleagues of my husbands.

My 2 kids have had it but neither DH or I have
