How have you managed to avoid contracting covid?

Just luck, and being super careful until we were vaccinated. We took our child out of nursery in Jan/Feb last year as it felt too risky. We have been out and about more since, but much less socialising than pre-Covid as we only do things that feel worth the risk.

Child in nursery so I'm sure we'll get it via him eventually, if not elsewhere. If we had an older child we'd probably have had it already.

Honestly I don’t know. I’ve got an antibody test coming through the ZOE app. I am wondering if I had it but was asymptomatic. We’ve got two young kids and we both work in healthcare 🤷‍♀️

Must be luck I think, as my DP caught it back in March, all had to quarantine, me and our DS had two PCR tests, both negative each time. We live in a small appartment so not really possible to isolate from each other, not sure how we managed not to get it!

I am blood group o which apparently helps. I also take zinc vit d and vic daily as well as eat plenty of fruit and veg. I dont smoke and mainly stay at home as I work at home. I expect me and 16 yr old ds have had it asymptomatic.

I really dont know because I didn't really not socialise or see family / friends etc in 2020 or earlier this year and no one I our household is vaccinated. I also don't wear a mask. But I do clean and sanitise religiously and disinfect everything

That's fairly pointless because it's mainly airborne.

It’s strange, DH had it a couple of months ago. Despite sharing a bed, car etc I didn’t get it. Then last week I was feeling poorly and tested positive. No clue how such close contact and living with a positive person without catching it last time, yet somehow have managed to contract it outside the home a couple of months later.

@TulipsGarden yeah it probably is. Just lucky I've not had it them

Then!

I’m not vaccinated and haven’t caught it but I’m quite careful. I don’t go to busy places and wear a mask when I do go anywhere.

My kids are at school and college, have been in very close contact on numerous occasions with people who have later tested positive but have never caught it, if LFTs were correct. One of them had a private antibody test which showed no antibodies.

My partner is the only one vaccinated and he’s not had it either, he works at home, wears a mask when he goes out and doesn’t really go anywhere busy,

I think Son the whole we’ve just been lucky and I’m sure some or all of us will get it at some point, but the people we know who have had it had it, got it after going abroad and to a festival or socialise more than us and think they’ve caught it at various gatherings.

I was ill for a week mid-March 2020 with covid symptoms but there was no community testing then. Antibody test in November last year was negative. DD6 tested positive beginning of last December but none of the rest of us got sick. All had horrible cold and flu symptoms last month but tested negative. So honestly don’t know if I’ve had it or not!

I've avoided public transport since Feb 2020.

No idea how. Was pregnant and unvaccinated until 6 months (when they confirmed it was safe for pregnant women) the entire pandemic I worked in hospitals and treated patients with covid and suspected covid, I have a nursery aged child. I was also exposed via positive family members.

Never had a single positive test

No idea! I teach 240 children every week and was in school throughout the pandemic!

I can only assume I have had it without symptoms..... 🤷‍♀️

No idea. DH and I mainly WFH but two children in school and have never been particularly careful beyond sticking to the rules - we've been in shops throughout, never bothered trying to get groceries delivered etc. Didn't host or attend gatherings during lockdowns or anything but definitely not in the washing the shopping/ masks at all times camp.

I’m baffled I haven’t had it. Work in healthcare doing aerosol generating procedures. Work with many different surgeons/anaesthetists who work and travel across many other hospitals. Also spent time myself working in other hospitals within London. Been on the tube, clubbing, out having a good time, mask wearing has been lax I’ll be honest. Even went to turkey just before it was on the red list - never wore a mask there and the Russian guests didn’t understand social distancing at all. I’m surprised i haven’t had it.

I got it in the middle of January lockdown after not going anywhere so no idea how that happened (maybe from online shopping?)

My parents shared a house with DB when he got it and didn't catch it.

It's strange how it works

I’m not careful at all other than doing lat flow tests 2/3 times a week (customer facing environment for work, kid at primary school, go gigs and bars and travel on the tube), and I had totally escaped it - until now. It just got me! I had a brutal hangover Saturday and I think that and the lack of sleep from a party allowed it so take
Hold. Is that possible? Nobody else from the party tested positive yet and everyone did lft’s before we went …
