Novid?

A recent thread has me wondering how many are still Covid-free.

I was until an international flight in January, when it caught up with me.... oh well.

I've got 3 school age kids and take public transit (more reading time, yay!). I was doomed, although we didn't get it until summer 2021 for the first time.

I've probably had it several times, but as I never took the test, I can't be absolutely certain. (And I didn't take the test because the result wouldn't have changed anything either way - I live alone and there is no one to run my errands for me, so self-isolation is out of the question).

Not had it and I had to go out to work with the public every single day all through the pandemic and to this day.

I've had one Covid vaccine, the one dose J&J back in May of 2021. No boosters.

My entire family has never had COVID. All 3 of us. My mother is elderly and my brother is disabled and tends to get any germ out there. And we all live together and always have.

Caught it from my neighbors last year - the fatigue was unbelievable

So far, I had a very mild case years back and my spouse has been COVID-free so far.

However, the people I used to work with have had quite a few mild cases of the FLiRT variant. One acquaintance from a volunteer group is currently in hospital in very serious condition and his wife is recovering but still in the hospital. Neither of them have ever had a dose of COVID vaccine since they believed that the vaccines were worse than the disease.

According to an antibody test I took, I have had it, but don't really know when. We suspect my mother (around 90) had it too, but no test took as we are not going to isolate her. At this point, I don't think about it moe than I think about a cold or flu.

I haven't had it, despite working in our store throughout the pandemic. Sure we took precautions (screens over the counter, hand sanitizing station, masks) and there was a period when we were only allowed to be open when people were only allowed to pick up orders from the door. But still, it surprises me I didn't get it. Neither did my parents. My sister did get it, but it was mild, mostly just a very runny nose. We all got all the vaccinations we could get.

I think I did get an earlier Covid variant in January 2017. I was pretty sick for a couple of days and lost my sense of smell and taste mostly (I could taste salt and chocolate and smell the plastic of the baggie I kept my wax melts in) for a couple of day and I was really tired for a while after. It sucked because that was during my vacation week.

I'm fully vaccinated and boosted and have never had it. Family members have had it, and their experiences range from moderate to miserable. I'm due for a booster in October, and plan to get it.

I've had it, but only after having various Covid vaccines, so got it very mildly.

(Checks... I've had The Astra Zeneca twice, the Moderna and the Pfizer)
