Still not had Covid. Anyone else?

[Sunbeammoonbeam]

It’s making me nervous now because I feel like I still don’t know how my body would cope with it

Teenage Ds had it last year, the rest of the house didn't. Younger Ds tested positive on Saturday and so far the rest of us haven't caught it.

I've been testing twice weekly for work and haven't had it.

Only time will tell if I catch it from the younger Ds...

This was me until 2 days ago. Worked on covid wards throughout the pandemic (before vaccines) until I went on maternity leave last summer and I've been a close contact around 99999 times without catching it.

I really thought that if I haven't caught it in some of the situations I've been thrown in to (positive patients with delirium grabbing at my mask and so on....), that I never would catch it.

My husband brought it home from work last week and then I tested positive a few days later. Just had a blocked nose for a day but feeling back to normal again already.

I still know quite a lot of people who haven't had it.

I had been exposed many times, both working on Covid ward and with DH and 2 of our children having it at different times. I had seemingly avoided it. However, on Monday I had a runny nose and sore throat, testing negative, by Wednesday evening was coughing and had very faint positive and now am left with just a cough but testing strongly positive. I am morbidly obese and asthmatic and for me it was a fairly mild cold!!
The week before I caught it, I had to stop my steroid inhaler for a few days for a medical test and I am now wondering if they had been giving me some protection as it does seem odd that I had not got it before.

That was me until last week too. I thought I might be immune as I'd not caught it before, even not from close family members.... but I finally caught it last week.

No. Both over seventy. Dh triple jabbed, me not jabbed at all ( avoiding because of previous reactions).

We don’t go out much, supermarket , garden centre, etc though DH goes to London for sports and friends ( so three buses and a train). Work persons in house for weeks, not masked, see neighbours and friends inside each other’s houses.

haven’t even had a cold since Covid, perhaps other people are more careful? And don’t cough and sneeze in public?

i disapproved profoundly of lockdown , I think the effects on young people have been dire. Not in my name.

No covid here. Neither has my partner, baby or my parents or his parents

Same here. Have been testing regularly since LFTs became available, plus a few PCRs before that but they've all come back negative, even when I've had the exact same symptoms as others who I've mixed at close quarters with and who were positive.
I'm a teacher and have also been out and about doing "real life" stuff in crowds all along so no idea how I can have avoided it.

No one in this house & DD has been a very close contact once and she has a friend round to play the day before she tested positive and we all.avoided it. DD has been at.school. Throughout (when she could anyway) and we go into our offices part time so no idea how We've avoided it. Also had 2 week in Florida mixing with thousands (millions?!) oF people so I'm amazed we haven't caught it.

We've tested for colds etc As well so we'd know if we'd had it.

I hardly know anyone any more who hasn't had it so glad it's not just us!

That was me before last wednesday

have had a toddler in nursery since Augusta 2020, and catching tubes/trains to work in London for yonks plus been on lots of holidays and to huge weddings with 200 people

and sat in closed rooms next to covid sufferers without them realising until later

I honestly thought I had some strange immunity … until last week when I suddenly had a random fever and started shivering. Still didn’t think it was covid but tested and the T line came up before the liquid went up to the C line

im pregnant so was worried but on the whole it’s been ok. One day of fever which paracetamol controlled and then hardly any symptoms except for a blocked nose and fatigue on and off last week - but then no worse for me than first trimester fatigue to be honest

as you said I’m glad I now know how my body reacts to omricon

Not had it. One kid at primary, one at secondary, both the only ones in their friendship group that haven't had it either. Same as you OP, still wondering how my body will cope, since I'm asthmatic, but then I found out my daily asthma drug is what they sometimes use in hospitals to treat people in the early stages of Covid, so maybe I've had it and never noticed...?

I really thought me and DH were immune. I have to test for work so am sure I’ve never had it. Just over a week ago I tested positive for the 1st time, it took extremely close contact with my granddaughter for me to get it ( she tested positive next day). DH hasn’t got it either from her or me. I have had the 3 jabs I am eligible for ( last one ages okay of course) I started with a high temp and then felt like I had a bad flu for a week, had insomnia as well which surprised me. All better now.

Dh and I have avoided it but ds had it last year.

Very worried about getting it as a number of friends have been left with complications after having it. Everyone I know has been really quite poorly with it despite the on going insistence that it's just a bad cold.

No one in my family or extended family has either. Don't know anyone close that has had it. Seen a few acquaintances on Facebook or colleagues reporting they have/had it but no one I see regularly.

We got it for the first time last month. DH ended up in bed with it for nearly 2 weeks and took about 4 weeks to get over it properly (has underlying issues but didn't need medical assistance). I had some minor symptoms for a day and a half. I wouldn't even have tested only I knew it had to be covid seeing as DH had it. DD tested positive with no symptoms at all and DS tested every day but didn't get it at all. Everyone I know got hit differently, but in the last year I haven't heard of anyone under the age of 70 that's ended up in hospital with it. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's more likely that you'll be absolutely fine.

Not had it that I know of. I 99% don't care.
I would retain the information if I was given it. That's my 1% how much I care.
But I basically don't care.
I'm up to about 2% caring if people I know had it, the ones who are scared of getting covid. I hope the fear leaves them after they know they had it.

Nope me and DH still not had it. Both test regularly still. This week may be the week though as DSS had his first bout last week and only tested negative yesterday.

Another one here that was starting to think I had some sort of immunity, until it hit me like a truck last week. DH and DS also have it for the first time, despite us working as normal throughout the last couple of years, and several close contacts getting it without passing it to us.

I thought that up until two weeks ago- had been exposed quite a few times - wondered if I perhaps had a natural immunity- always been careful-was still wearing masks in shops and crowded places. Then went down with it on holiday... Pretty sure the vaccines have had a good effect to now but I had my booster 6 months ago and feel they must be loosing their effect.

No one in our household yet, we test fairly regularly as DH has to work in office hybrid. All fully vaccinated including DD (8yo) and still wear masks for indoor activities/shopping.

If I had to guess I think we all had it Feb 2020 as had the awful cough that was spreading through school like wildfire but obviously no testing back then so can't confirm it.

I've still not had it. My husband got it a few months ago and tested positive for about 10 days. I work from home and can easily isolate so we were not particularly careful at home but I still didn't get it. I am sure it'll catch up with me one day. My friend also works in the NHS and worked all through the pandemic and she hasn't had it.

I am a teacher and I have been exposed lots but not had it. Finally got it a couple of days ago!

I haven't had it despite being front line medic , no young DC to spread it around at home though. Most of the family have had it, some several times.

I haven't either - despite being exposed to it three times - DH and my three sons have had it (a couple of them have had it twice) and my daughter and I haven't yet tested positive...we've obviously tested relentlessly when the others had it, and when we were testing regularly anyway, so I don't think I've ever had it, even asymptomatically. Fully aware that could change though - most people I know who haven't had it yet, are now succumbing...!

Me, although DH is currently on day four of his seven day iso (still mandatory here in Aus), and I am in the spare room. I had dinner with friends the other week and the people both side of me tested positive within 24 hours. I had a PCR at the same time as DH last Friday, did RATS after the dinner and did another RAT last night. Both DH and I have second boosters five weeks ago, I reacted badly (as I did to booster1) and was quite unwell for three days, someone told me if you react strongly to the fax it means it is doing it's job so maybe it has kept me safe!

Thought I was immune. So much exposure, including people in the house, frequent tube travel etc. then finally got it on Friday. DD and all the friends I’d taxied to a huge indoor concert in London last Saturday all tested positive on Tuesday.

I know of three other adults - teachers, so plenty of prior exposure - who succumbed last week, so I think this wave is catching lots of new people.

I am feeling more poorly than friends who got it over this winter said they felt. Not sure if that’s because they’d been more recently vaccinated maybe?
