Never had it, family have had it.

 

They've been jabbed. I've not had a single jab.

 

Lets just leave it at that

I hope that you continue to be that fortunate.

Not had it yet. unboostered, only wore a mask when I absolutely had to. 

[Jimothy]

Think I might have had it right at the start, pre testing. Not had it or tested positive since.

[Parafox]

Despite working closely among those who very likely had it in the early days of the outbreak, I haven't had it.

[urban.spaceman]

Not had it yet and to be honest I really feel left out.

Tested positive 3 times

 

Nov 2020 - lost taste and smell, nothing else - got it straight after being in hospital to have my appendix out

 

Nov 2021 - a bit like a bad cold - guy at work came in with it and took out about 10 of us

 

Feb 2022 - knocked me off my feet, spent a few days in bed - from my little sister who got it at school

[Footballwipe]

I haven't tested positive for it. Never felt like I've had it but I can't hand-on-heart say that I've "not had it." I could've been asymptomatic four times!

[Sampson]

Never tested positive but fairly sure I had it back in March 2020 when you couldn’t get tests. Also had a bad cold and had zero energy in around November 2020 which I never tested for as you were only advised to get tested if you had a cough or bad fever back then, but since then many seem to have tested positive after similar cold and lack of energy symptoms I’m not sure.

 

I voted the last option. Never tested positive but think there’s probably a good chance I had it during at least one of those 2 times.

Got it beginning of April 2022 for the first time, caught it off my landlord. 

 

All 3 of us in the house had a really rough first few days - general fever/flu symptoms - then it calmed down pretty quickly. The brain fog was the most frustrating - I'd just started at a new job a week prior and was struggling to focus or form proper sentences for a while, which certainly didn't help. Took me 12 days to get a negative test though; one landlord was fine after a week and the other was negative but still rough (t1 diabetic, so vulnerable) for quite a while after.

Never had it. Literally every single person that I am close to personally has had it and every single person in my team at work has had it. 

[Guest Basildon Fox]

I had the exact symptoms that would constitute Covid in August 2019.

 

I spent 5 days in bed and felt like I had been beaten up.  I also lost my sense of taste and smell for over 2 weeks and it took around 3 weeks before I started to feel normal again.  Of course if we believe what we read, Covid was not around then...

 

I know a number of people who had the same symptoms too in autumn/winter 2019.

The jab doesn't stop you getting the virus. It helps prevent serious illness when contracting the virus.

I find it astonishing that even now - over two years on - this still has to be explained to some people. 

[tom27111]

Had it about a month ago, the only one of 5 of us in the house to ever have it.

I'm not but not sure I can say the same about my kids.

I'm still not convinced that having had the virus and the jab (×3) myself that this compared to not having the jab at all has made a huge amount of difference.  Felt exactly the same post jab and post virus with only a lack of smell the difference.  

 

As was said back in 2020, jab or no jab, for most this will be a mild illness.  I've had worse colds since 2020.

 

Let's just leave it at that.  

[Soar Fox]

Had worse hangovers.

[Vlad the Fox]

Finally caught it in the new year. Fortunately I was fine. Spent an extra 10 days on my Christmas break ploughing through what was left of the Christmas booze and chocolates and binging on Netflix. I loved it. 

[kyleolly]

Had covid in April non vaccinated couple of days I felt knackered and my legs really ached sweated alot felt worse on the back of a week on the piss in Porto

[RonnieTodger]

Tested positive on Christmas Eve. Was a lositical nightmare, plus I missed us beating Liverpool. At least I saw them beat us on penalties at Anfield a couple of days before  

 

Pot Noodle for Christmas Dinner is bleak.

[SystonFox]

Never had it. Convinced I’m immune.

 

does anyone have it currently? I don’t know anyone who has got it

[Greg2607]

Never had it. But lost family members who did. 

[filbertway]

Never tested positive for it, but I'd be surprised if I or anyone in the country hasn't had it tbh. Seems incredibly unlikely unless you've lived in a cellar for 3 years. 

[Alf Bentley]

Never tested positive and pretty sure I've not had it yet. I'm almost 60 and have a heart issue so reckon I'd have noticed.

 

Daughter tested positive the day for Delta (?) after she'd been round at mine (caught off friends) and I'd given her a hug on leaving but I didn't catch it.

 

A medical type might be able to confirm/deny but I wonder if different people are more or less vulnerable to infections of different kinds?

I say that as I've never had flu either, yet I get a filthy chest infection most winters that sometimes takes a couple of months to fully clear.

I'll catch Covid tomorrow now, won't I?
