Covid

If you've had it, where did you catch it?

I've just read another thread where someone was stressed on an outdoor walk seeing people touching gates, brushing past her etc. The responses were that the risk outdoors is very low, and that the real risks are in care homes, hospitals etc.
So I'm curious as to people's experiences on here.
I work in healthcare. The (very) few people at work who've had it seem to have had DC's with symptoms first. One friend had it, but had no idea where she got it from.

Where did you (or think you you did) catch CV?

I caught it (not test confirmed) back in January, I work in a hospital. My baby also showed classic symptoms but again not confirmed.

About ten days before lockdown DP said he felt like he had a cold, headache and sore throat (which went on for nearly 2 weeks). He had been travelling on the tube and also DJ'd at a bar. At the same time I was working in GP surgeries and sat next to a coughing colleague. Five days later me, DS and his babysitter all had fevers and other symptoms for two weeks; DSD had the mildest fever overnight and a bit of a cough.

I understand there was a fair bit of influenza B (same symptoms) as well as another coronavirus circulating over the winter.

I think I've had it. (classic symptoms, early March so no test, negative for antibodies). Baffled as to how, either randomly in supermarket, through a friend who'd been to Italy but Ionly had very short outside contact with or most likely but most weird, from husband (whose symptoms we barely registered because he had a hoarse voice and sore throat) who'd been to a concert in a higher hit area. I gave it to one child who had mild/moderate symptoms. One child had very mild (almost unnoticeable except they were looking out for it) symptoms and youngest had none at all.
