Is there anyone who doesn’t think they had covid last winter

[Sosickofasshats]

no trolling or trying to be clever, almost every single person I know thinks they could have had it last year. I was in hospital for a virus which caused breathing difficulties in December. I feel like I’m losing touch with relaity

Me I didn’t even have a cold last winter, which is unusual.

I don't think I had it.

I was healthy as a horse last winter!

I don’t think I’ve had it.

I've wondered if there was another nasty respiratory thing doing the rounds in the early part of the year. I had what I assume was a normal cold in early March but it did come with some breathlessness and a nasty cough.

I didn't have it. Last time I was ill with anything was September last year.

Me. I only know a couple of people that think they had it last winter.

Most people recognise that a cough of some kind circulates every year. So even if you had a the symptoms of covid, it could easily have been one of the other yearly viruses that circulates

I'm not saying you didn't have covid. I'm just saying there's a lot of crossover of symptoms with other common viruses

I don’t think so, I had my usual cold that starts, lasts and ends the way it does every year.

Not me, definitely not had it.

Do you think you had it last winter ?

I wasn’t ill last year though dd was very ill. She had a headache, a raging temperature that took 3 days to go down, terrible diarrhoea and then a cough for a week.
No one else in the family got ill though.

I work in a large secondary school - so many people have convinced themselves that the cold/cough/sniffle they had Dec onwards last year was covid!

Me.
Because we all came down with it in March.

I haven’t had it. I’m pretty sure three of my colleagues had it in January though.

Covid is an attention seeker dream!

So many people "know" that they had it because they were unwell as they are every year but the funny thing is that people who have tested positive either had next to no symptom and thought they were fine, or ended up in hospital because they felt very bad.

Not many people around here seem to have had a bad (but not tragic) covid when they tested positive.

Me. And I don't know anyone else who thinks they had it.

Nor me. I can't remember the last time I was ill enough to stay in bed. Probably 4=5 years ago!

I don't! I had a cough over Christmas but it was exactly the same as other nasty cold / chest infection type coughs I've had before and too early in time so don't think it was covid. We did have a cough go round our household in March during the peak before lockdown which I thought could possibly have been a very mild case of covid but we tested negative for antibodies, so don't think we've had it at all (yet!)

Me and several colleagues- although I do think it's interesting that in my experience some of the people who are only ever talking about how easy it is to catch and how it's going to be everywhere are the ones that are so dismissive of people that think they've had it all ready!

Last November my partner and I had the worst cold/flu ever. Never had a cough like it and felt so ill. A lot of work mates were the same

Same here.

Definitely didn’t have it and I was living in mainland China at the time.

I haven't had a cold since 2008.

Nothing here. But my next door neighbour works in a care home and was very poorly in December 2019

My last cold was in July 2018. Prior to that, it was about 3 - 5 years earlier. I didn't knowingly have Covid last winter.
