Zero. I have to test twice a Week so unless it was asymptomatic and lasted 3 days or less I haven't had it.

mrsdolittle · 03/04/2022 12:32

Twice. First time in December 2021 - completely floored me for weeks. Then again in February this year (so not even 3 months in between). Much milder - more like a cold. Both confirmed cases.

Echobelly · 03/04/2022 12:38

Had it in January this year. I think I also had it just before lockdown, March 2020 - I had a virus that gave me slight sore throat and mild but persistent headache but most unusually fatigue. Not totally debilitating but enough for me to work from home as commuting was too much. It came and went over the course of just over two weeks - I know people who tested positive in the following months with similar symptoms.

maddiemookins16mum · 03/04/2022 12:38

Never, nor DH, DD or MIL (90).

vdbfamily · 03/04/2022 12:43

Never, and I work in a hospital and have worked with Covid positive patients. I have slept with a Covid positive husband and traveled 8 hours home from Scotland in a car with a Covid positive daughter! I think I should offer my body to science!!

Babyroobs · 03/04/2022 12:44

I've not had it at all despite living in a busy household with four teens/ young adults all at work or college. Ds1 has had it twice, Ds2 has had it once.

lavenderfine · 03/04/2022 13:14

Never, worked in a supermarket all the way through too. No one in my house has had it even my DS when he stayed at my mums while her whole house was covid positive as I was in hospital giving birth to DD.

HairyToity · 03/04/2022 13:16

Twice that I know of.

lobsterkiller · 03/04/2022 13:22

I haven't, as far as I know.

CapitanSandy · 03/04/2022 13:28

Once last week. I’m in the clinically vulnerable category so have shielded and avoided going out a lot of the last 2 years.

Had to attend a fairly big gathering and got it there. Luckily I wasn’t affected as badly I thought I’d be. Don’t think I’d be worried if I got it again now

DramaAlpaca · 03/04/2022 13:29

I haven't yet.

CornishGem1975 · 03/04/2022 13:32

Never, nobody in our house has had it yet, despite having kids in primary, secondary, nursery and DH working out of the home.

hesbeen2021 · 03/04/2022 13:36

First time January 2021. Thought I would die I felt so Unwell but made full recovery in 10 days
Second time February 2022. Unwell for 24 hours then felt fine

Vegansausageroll · 03/04/2022 13:38

None. Constantly exposed as a teacher with many confirmed cases around me but never got a positive myself.

Magissa · 03/04/2022 13:45

Never. I work in an office where in the last two weeks eight people have had it. There are twelve of us in total. I imagine if I'm going to get it surely it will be soon.
I test regularly owing to the nature of my work and have been tested several times for antibodies over the last 18 months so definitely not had it.

oldtableleg · 03/04/2022 13:46

twice, both times after being triple vaccinated. I wasn't particularly ill either time (used the isolation time for DIY/decorating projects).

bloodywhitecat · 03/04/2022 13:48

I haven't yet and nor did DH, the kids haven't either.

JessCat75 · 03/04/2022 13:49

Never had it.

Romemarie · 03/04/2022 13:58

3 times. Twice after being double Jabbed.

Crunchymum · 03/04/2022 14:01

Haven't had it (yet)

DC1 and DC2 had it (one after another, not at same time). DC3, myself and DP haven't had it.

DC2 has a cough every 6/8 weeks and has had probably 12 PCR's. Only time DC2 tested positive was asymptomatic, we were only testing as DC1 had it (headache and nausea were their only symptoms)

Wazzzzzuuuuuuup · 03/04/2022 14:07

Once, December 2021

DH twice,once Dec 21, and had it for a second time last week

DD 1 and 2, both once, Jan and Feb 22
DS, never

Other than the infection last December, none of us have caught it from the other

I only know a handful of people who haven't had it now. I work in a hospital and many of my colleagues have had it two or three times

OldChinaJug · 03/04/2022 14:09

@Lighthouseblue

Never! And I'm a teacher! 🤨
Same!

My daughter had it over the summer hols. She isolated but we had normal contact in the house. I've been in close contact with people who then tested positive.

Kids in my class are dropping like flies too.

I thought I had it once but tested negative on lateral flow and pcr.

balalake · 03/04/2022 14:11

None, unless I had it asymptomatically. Live alone currently, have only been into the office five times in over two years, maintain distancing indoors or face coverings.

Not being complacent though, the pandemic is not over.

OldEvilOwl · 03/04/2022 14:14

Twice. Last January and this January. Had 3 jabs

Keepingmytoeswarm · 03/04/2022 14:18

Twice. It’s never gone away, I can’t work or go shopping or do the school run. Exercising is a distant dream. Socialising is very limited.

Please protect yourselves.
