Has anyone not had covid yet?

[Pinksnowcookie]

I haven’t as far as I know and I’m absolutely lost as to how I haven’t as I’m a teacher and loads of our kids and staff have it.

Not having antibodies doesn’t mean you haven’t had it. You can be exposed and clear the infection with just t-cells (especially if mild/asymptomatic).

Neither me nor DH has had it to our knowledge. We don't have school age children so that's probably helped.

There are 4 in my home that haven't had it.

Not that I know of,nor has anyone in my family including dps, dsis and dn...as a family we do have good immune systems in general although all the adults had dbl vax as soon as was possible, not the 3 dc under 10 obviously

No. My son is coming home from deployment next week and I had better not catch it this week in school.

I sometimes wonder if DH is immune.
Last winter DS2 had Covid, DH drove him to test centre, nobody else got it.
This autumn DS2 caught it, gave it to me. DH drove us to test centre on different days, a 20 minute journey.
He didn't catch it.
There has to be some natural ummunity, right?

No one in my family has. Parents are elderly and being really careful, dh worked from home, now back in office. Dc are back at school now with positive cases rising so it's only a matter of time. Apart from dc we are all triple jabbed.

Unfortunately I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet. Dh has booked 17th off for our annual christmas shop. We always do it in one day amd wrap while grandparents have the dc. So I hope covid doesn't hit soon x

Nobody in our immediate family has had it , and that includes our son who is a teacher .

Not that I know of.

not yet. I have 2 kids at secondary school and DH and I commute to London for work every day. (DH worked throughout the lockdown earlier this year, so has used the trains all year) DS had it a few weeks ago, but so far, AFAIK none of the rest of us has had it (we do LFT twice a week and I have had probably 6 PCR tests in the last 2 months)
Im really hoping DD can complete her mocks without getting it. Otherwise we will just have to deal with it when its our turn!

I thought I’d done realllyyyy well to escape it as a primary teacher….

35 weeks pregnant and 2 weeks before I go on maternity leave - positive.

Unless you have had a negative antibody test then you may have had it without any symptoms…..either your innate immune system fought it off very fast (as is does with most kids) or that you have been infected asymptomatically and now have antibodies to Covid.

None of us have had it. In fact I only know a couple of people who have.

TA here worked in School all the way though all lockdowns ...not had it yet !!!
I'm 54

About 90% of my friends and family have had it - myself included.

Find this thread quite interesting.

Out of 8 of us at my work, 3 have had it and another ones adult son has had it. This has all been in the last couple of months. Before that no-one had had it.
No-one in mine nor DH family have had it, including 2 people who work in GP surgery’s, another who deliverers food for co-op and another who works in a pre-school so all have been working and in contact with lots of people throughout the pandemic.

I'm the only teacher in my school (primary) to have had it. Several TAs and support staff have had it, but not the one I work most closely with.

There really is no rhyme or reason to who does/ doesn't catch it. I've had cases in my class every week since September but rarely more than 1 or 2 at a time.

Nope, despite working through the pandemic in close contact with people.

None of our household have had it. I'm a teacher and have been exposed to it many times -i'm testing myself every 2 days... It's currently rampaging through my secondary school, one fully vaccinated healthy teacher is very sick in hospital.
My teen boys have somehow avoided it too despite it being rampant in their school too. DH also hasn't had it.
I'm just hoping not to get it at Christmas...

On the other hand I know a couple of people who have had it, thier whole family plus all the extended family - elderly parents, siblings, nieces and nephews etc! Makes you wonder if some people are more susceptible to it and others have more natural immunity.

The figures are nonsensical.

I had it in March 2020 :all the symptoms - including loss of taste & smell that was not recognised at the time in UK.
But when I 'phoned the NHS they weren't interested & it was not recorded.

And another thing ! MIL - in a care home - had it but was asymptomatic. Wasn't until she had a hospital appointment that it was diagnosed.
So how many other residents' infections were unreported ?

@BrieAndChilli

I know situations where one got it in a family and ottheers didn't despite sleeping in same bed, I think some have different immune response.

I think there’s a genetic element to the seriousness of Covid. You hear very sad cases where a few members of the same family die. Therefore maybe it works the other way? Genetics mean you are more likely to be asymptomatic. I’m sure I read a certain percentage of the population do have immunity, maybe from a previous similar coronavirus.

My entire family, DH and 3 young adults had covid in the summer.
I did not catch it despite us all living together and DH and I sharing a bed. I pretty much decided that there was no point in isolating from each other as I was sure I would catch it from one of them.
My youngest son, 19 at the time was the sickest but he had only had his first vaccination a couple of days before.
I'm a nurse and have worked right through and that is the only time I've ever had to isolate.
Maybe I had asymptomatic covid before lateral flow tests became a thing as I do my mine at least twice a week.
Many of my colleagues have had covid and some of them have been pretty unwell with it but there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it... same work, same patients, same ppe.
I've always just thought I'd catch it at some point but who knows!
