I went three years without catching it then it spread through my workplace like wildfire because people won’t stay home when they’re sick and the one guy has to go to Vegas first chance he got.
I haven’t ever had COVID (that I’m aware of, and I tested regularly for the first two years of the pandemic), because I never stopped following the science and taking precautions.
I recognize that I was and am able to consistently take those precautions only because of a lot of privilege.
All of the later versions of coven were less deadly and had less of your symptoms and lasted less. It was the first person to covet that really fucking sucked
I work in the medical field and was providing COVID testing and vaccines for a majority of the pandemic. During this time, all of my coworkers and two of my roommates have caught COVID at least once.
I still have never had it. Genuinely think I’m immune.
I live in a very small town and pretty much only leave home for groceries. In general I’m never around people. On top of taking all the precautions, it wasn’t that hard for me.
I’m going to guess that a lot of people ,like myself, who believe they never caught COVID actually have. A large percentage are likely just asymptomatic carriers. Or light symptoms that didn’t show up on any tests.
We provided home-schooling for two and had an immune suppressed person at our home. I added a HEPA air exchange filtration system and upgraded our furnace/AC for a second HEPA filter in our home. Now, the children are back in school, and their dad is back to the office. We are teaching at school, but remain Covid free. We had our most recent shot on Thursday. We know of more infected people this year in our circle this past two months, than the entire time before, so we are hoping for the best.
It sounds harder than it was. Our furnace was on its last leg, huge, loud, and inefficient. We made sure that our replacement could handle a heavier load that a HEPA filter would add when we bought it. The second HEPA air exchange filter was an off the shelf unit, put in the room that our immunosuppressed relative worked from. We have allergies, (not serious, but uncomfortable at certain seasons) so the HEPA upgrade seemed to just make sense. Because the new furnace was smaller, making room for a thicker filter was easy. It was an easy swap. Our heating bills went down, so the payback is relatively short.
COVID sucks. Counting my blessings that Ive never caught it. Every single one of my coworkers and their families had it. But they also don’t know how viruses and bacteria operate either.
They habitually stick their philangies in all of their facial orifices without regard for what they may have touched earlier…
Made it to July. I don’t go out much so not a big surprise. Knew it would happen. Girl I was seeing tested positive but said I could still come over to have sex. Had sex, caught covid. Stayed at home til I tested negative. Totally worth it.
I’m in this picture (or, if I’ve had it, it has been asymptomatic - but I doubt that I have), although it’s not as much luck as it was precautions on my side. The first year I would only go out when I need to (and I was working from home full time before that anyway). For some time after I even avoided meeting people outside. Got my shots pretty late, I think in early 2022, because I wanted to go to an outdoor festival with a lot of people.
