I hear ya but I think most of this still boils down to personal sanitation and cleanliness habits plus not doing stupid stuff like congregation with a bunch of other human 'super-spreaders'.

For example.....I've always been a good hand washer - never use a dishwasher - love how clean my hands feel after washing my dishes.

I will get take out - but do not ever go out to eat - unless forced to. Since I am not married - I have total control over this.

And while I'm not an anti-vaxer - I never got the jab. I've always been in good health and never even got flu shots either so not going to start now.

Hope you continue to stay healthy!

I had it for 10 days 3 weeks ago and my wife never got it from me which I thought was strange.

[oldE]

Neither my wife nor our grand daughter nor my MIL nor I have had it. We are dedicated hand washers and mask in the stores. My wife's siblings have all had it.
We got the shots to reduce the severity of the flu if we did indeed contract it. An ounce of prevention, as it were.

Had it twice, the wife once.

Luckily, my 88yo FIL has not had it and he isn't one to sit at home. But dang, his circle of friends and family sure have. Keep on dodging that bullet!

[mgatepi]

Nope not here!! Both my wife and I have not had the rona! She works at the VA and around people all the time and I work in a group of about 100. Neither of us have missed a day of work since this pandemic started. Well except some vacation time.
We are vaccinated and boosted up to date.

[GH85Carrera]

Never had it, and same for my wife. I attended Porsche Parade with 2,500 friends and stayed at the huge resort hotel. Traveled for 10 days and ate every meal at restaurants or banquets.

Both my wife and I had the first three vaccinations.

I grew up as a typical boomer kid, and played with dogs, played in a lot of dirt, and drank from random garden hoses when thirsty.

I guess if I ever did have it, I was one of those with zero symptoms. I don't think either of us had it.

[pete3799]

Nope.

[Bill Douglas]

Sorry, I'm a fail. Got it about five weeks ago. Fine now, just the occasional croaky throat feeling.

[Racerbvd]

I haven't had it..

[Jays72T]

Never got it.

[IROC]

Never. I was exposed a number of times but never got it. No one in my household has had it, either.

[Noah930]

Not yet. Probably will get it at some point, but still trying to avoid it.

What I don't entirely understand are the people who tell me they have had it multiple (3+) times.

[David]

I'm vaxed, been going to the office since this mess started and haven't caught it.

There are only a couple of coworkers left that haven't caught it.

My wife avoided it until a couple weeks ago when she went to Thailand.

[MMiller]

If I did, I was not aware of it.. Same for the girlfriend. Hope that good fortune continues!

[Bill Douglas]

You guys are on the right track. The longer it is before you get it, the weaker the virus is. by that I mean it's less likely to kill you. I didn't even know I had it until GF insisted I got a RAT test for my "minor cold."

[stomachmonkey]

No one in my house yet but the way I feel today my luck may have run out.

I've been convinced of late that there are some of us who will just never get it.

My wife never had chicken pox even though her mom took her to all the "get it over with" parties that people used to do for that stuff back in the day.

[cockerpunk]

i had a sore throat the next day after being exposed, but tested negative. only that day too.

other than that, been exposed knowingly at least 3 or 4 times, and have not had it. vaxed and boosted. ready for my omicron BA4/5 booster when that comes out.

Why?

We've learned that having it (or the shots) doesn't make you immune to getting it again.

I wouldn't have known I got it, except that I HAD to get tested for travel I was doing for the government. They caught me, I got put in COVID jail for 5 days with a very mild sore throat for one or 2 of those days.

[Heel n Toe]

No Covid for us. I'm retired, so not out much since it began... wife was a full time teacher until retiring at end of July, so she was at the highest risk of getting it. Her school was fully masked up.

We were both careful to mask up when going out for the first year when it was recommended (for us "older" folks) and because we have risk factors. We still mask up at times, but not even half as much. Went to Chipotle yesterday unmasked.

Both of us are vaxxed, but I never got the 2nd booster. My doc said don't get it now and just wait until the new one that is for the new variants is available.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that about half on here that said they never had it.....did have it and never realized it because their health and resistance was good.
