Has anyone had Covid and been truly asymptomatic?!

[Woffle]

They say between 35-50% of people are asymptomatic but I haven't seen any threads about it on here. Were you? Did you truly have not even a sniffle or a slight scratch in your throat?!

I've been wondering this too. I have Covid at the moment and it's not much more than a mild cold. Only a real subtle change in taste occasionally, a slightly annoying throat and sniffles. Never in a million years would I have thought it was Covid.

My friend was asymptomatic and so was a work colleague.

My son has had it twice, both times completely sympyomatically - and my husband too (but only the once). My other two sons had very mild symptoms. My daughter and I haven't yet caught it, despite living through two separate Covid infections in the household.

My DH, DD and me all have Covid at the moment. I've got a cold, bad cough and loss of taste. My daughter is completely symptom free and my husband has a couple of mouth ulcers x

I've known a few people who only tested because they were close contacts and they were shocked to find out they were positive as they felt perfectly fine.

It's so weird to me that some people get deathly I'll and some others have absolutely no symptoms whatsoever. It just blows my mind.

Yes, my 85 year old friend. Took a test as a courtesy which came back positive. PCR (old rules) confirmed it. Not so much as a sniffle!

One of my DD’s was entirely asymptomatic. She said she felt absolutely fine, no hint of illness.
The other DD was quite ill and took a couple of weeks to recover. Both had it at the same time. No rhyme nor reason to it, it seems.

Someone at work was. He came back from holiday and had to do a day to PCR when he came back and it was positive. He had no idea he had it!

Most people I know who have started as getting a +ve lft and said they were asymptomatic have either later developed some symptoms or said something along the lines of: "I was totally asymptomatic-nothing more than a mild cold..."

I know one person who said they really had absolutely nothing wrong, not even a slight sniffle. However they did manage to pass it to the rest of their family some of whom had it badly, which they felt very guilty about.

But most people (even in the risk categories) aren't very ill.

We've got it in our house at the moment. 3 are symptomatic and 1 is positive but completely fine and driving me crazy. So that's 25% asymptomatic in my small household sample.

There are probably way more people who have covid asymptomaticaly, but not everyone tests regularly so they'll never know!

I know someone who was positive on a routine test and had nothing but a mouth ulcer - something she gets from time to time anyway.

My DD. We only knew she had it because we’d been testing as she’d been a close contact with a friend. She had zero symptoms - not so much as a sniffle

Had zero symptoms in June 2020 when I caught covid the first time. With my recent omricon infection I mild symptoms (runny/bunged up nose and sore throat) for 2 days

My dd age 9 had it and I was completely shocked and so was she. She had no symptoms at all. We were not expecting it at all and only tested because family she stayed with during new years were positive. She is now over it and I am with covid (think im over it now, but still feeling tired and not myself yet). My ds had one evening feeling tired (but this was also after staying up late two nights in a row and skiing all day, so it was hard to tell if it was skiing all day and two late nights or covid. We only realised when we tested them they were both positive....and then 4 days later I was too. But I had cold flue symptoms....feeling rubbish still.

We all had covid in December. Me, Dp and the kids. Me and dp had cold like symptoms, DS had some symptoms but nothing like you'd expect with covid.

Dd was asymptomatic. She tested positive right at the end of the 10 days after Dp and Ds getting it, I was testing her daily.

I thought she might of been a bit tired one day as lay on the sofa at 6pm looking tired. By 6.30pm she was running around 😅

My friends kids both had it totally asymptomatic too. They were close contacts and she thoughts they had missed it until she did a lft just in case. This was before daily lft testing was a thing.

I tested positive for Covid antibodies but didn't have any symptoms of it at all. So I have no idea when I had it, possibly when my DC did?

Yes my 73 year old father. He has asbestos related lung damage so we were worried about him catching it but he had not a single symptom.

Yes, my DSis. She’s a Dr, so was LTF testing regularly. One day it was positive, went for a PCR and was +. She had 10 days in self-isolation feeling totally fine. Not even a sniffle. The hospital was under enormous pressure.

Daughter 100% asymptomatic. Only picked up bye pre school return lft.

My daughter had a runny nose one morning, nothing else. I wouldn’t really count that as a covid symptom but clearly it was. It’s why this thing is so difficult to stop.

Yes, me. Dh had symptoms and we both tested. I was shocked when I tested positive as I felt fine. I never got any symptoms at all.

I did. I came to know only because I was giving monthly blood for a national trial and I tested positive for antibodies to non-spike protein antibody , which cannot be acquired by any of the currently approved vaccines in the UK. But I am fit and well with no medical problems. BMI=24.

Yes me apparently. I did an antibody test through the Zoe app in July 2021 which stated I had anti bodies and it was likely I had suffered with covid in the past 6 months.

I've racked my brains and I can't think of a time when I suffered any symptoms or anything that led me to believe I had covid. I was very conscious of it too as I had two children at school and older parents so was on the watch out for any symptoms. No one else on the family has any symptoms I can remember too, but they've not done antibody tests.

My husband has it right now and has no symptoms at all. He very likely had it in March 2020 too (the rest of us did) but had no symptoms then either.
