Do you know anyone who has never had Covid?

Most adults I know have had it multiple times, especially people with kids at school. Most kids have had it multiple times. But a lady at work says she and her husband have had it, and they are going to participate in a medical study. And now I just wondered if not having Covid is unusual or whether lots of people have managed to avoid it all this time.

Sorry I mean a lady and her husband have NEVER had Covid, I’m really tired and can’t type very well.

My son and I haven't had it.

I don't think my mum thinks she has had it, but she was shielding during the whole pandemic and even since has been extremely cautious.

I can't think of anyone else I know who has never had it!

We haven’t had it and neither has my son.

My elderly mum. She followed all the rules. Saw nobody. Went nowhere except food shopping. Got all her jabs and wore masks.

NotanotherboxofFrogs · 04/10/2023 23:12

I haven't had it at all. Friend has also avoided it even when his wife had 3 infections.

MinnieMouse0 · 04/10/2023 23:13

My parents have not knowingly had it. They remained in contact with my elderly gran and another family member with stage 4 cancer throughout lockdowns, then my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer last year, so they have had to be very careful for the last almost 3 years. But even so it’s surprising they haven’t had it, even my wee old granny had it twice!!

Slippersarethebest · 04/10/2023 23:13

I've never had it, worked on a hot ward and varies other places throughout. Mother never had ot either. Neither of us were particularly careful outside of the instructed restrictions.

Indiana2021 · 04/10/2023 23:13

Me despite working in a high risk environment and other people in the house having had it at various stages.

Alstroemeria123 · 04/10/2023 23:13

I haven’t had it as far as I know - or at least I’ve never tested positive.

I kind of assume I have had it at some point asymptomatically, though, as I’m regularly on public transport.

Istanbulnotconstantinople72 · 04/10/2023 23:14

I haven't had it, neither have my parents. As far as I know. I could have had it at some point and been asymptomatic.

Scutterbug · 04/10/2023 23:14

Neither of my parents have had it.

Noodledoodledoo · 04/10/2023 23:14

My husband and daughter, shared a house/bed with me when I was positive, tested daily never showed positive. Son had it 8 weeks earlier never passed it on to the rest of us - tested daily due to jobs.

StJulian2023 · 04/10/2023 23:15

Me, my parents, my son for starters

SmallTreeDeepRoots · 04/10/2023 23:15

I’ve not had it and neither has DD. DH & DS had it but we didn’t catch it.

Sodie · 04/10/2023 23:15

I haven't and neither has my husband.

seashaken · 04/10/2023 23:15

I haven't had it and neither has my husband. Our son has had it twice though, both times I was with him a few hours before his symptoms started, still didn't catch it.

TheShellBeach · 04/10/2023 23:16

DH and I have yet to catch it.

Mind you, in December 2019, before we knew about it, we both had a terrible viral illness for a fortnight. That might have been Covid. I'd just been to London.

mummy21blueeyed · 04/10/2023 23:16

My mum her partner and a friend have never had it that’s 3 people I know of.

TrailingLoellia · 04/10/2023 23:16

My DH and DCs haven’t had covid. I got it and it knocked me for six.

Belfastbird · 04/10/2023 23:16

I haven't had it, neither have my mum or siblings. I was in a trial & tested fortnightly for infection & antibodies so pretty certain I haven't!

VariationsonaTheme · 04/10/2023 23:18

Neither DH nor DS have had it, despite being in close daily contact with others that have had it. Recently I shared a room for two nights with my mum and sister who both got it whilst we were away, but I didn’t. It’s a weird one when it comes to transmission.

mondaytosunday · 04/10/2023 23:18

Me! My daughter, who is on the tube every day, has also never had it. I suppose I could have and been symptomless but she had to test herself regularly for school.

WaxhamSeals · 04/10/2023 23:18

I’ve not had it, and I worked in a public facing role throughout lockdown.
DH, DD & DS haven’t had it either, nor have most of my colleagues.
It would be easier to list the people I know who have had it!
