Not really an AIBU subject so apologies, thought it might reach a wider audience than buried in the Covid section!

I’ve a nasty cold and just taken yet another Covid test which is negative. Beginning to feel like a bit of an anomaly & freak of nature as I don’t know anyone else that’s never had it (always tested when I’ve had colds and weekly when tests were free). Slept next to DH when he had it and DD has had it twice. I assumed I’d get it when they did & didn’t really take precautions as it seemed inevitable I’d get it too.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not keen to come down with the bloody thing, just seems a little odd!

I’ve never had it and I’m amazed!

I test if anyone I know has a cold even, I test regularly as I visit an elderly relative. I’ve been on planes, buses. Have a child at school who has had it twice. My husband has had it, my other child has had it 4 times!

I am very vigilant though, ventilation and masks, I still wear masks on planes and crowded buses, I keep windows open if anyone has a cold.

And since the pandemic I’ve also never had a cold! I wonder whether I’ve learnt about transmission and have just got better at it.

It’ll probably get me in the end though!

I'm the opposite. I'm not vigilant at all. I will never wear a mask again. I went to work instead of working at home (which was an option) throughout lockdown in an office with lots of people. As soon as we were able we went abroad on quite a few holidays. We went out to restaurants, pubs etc as soon as any restrictions were lifted. I take no precautions at all. I stopped wearing masks as soon as I could. Mixed with family and friends who had it. My immune system is pretty good anyway I think.
