Current Events > So, did you ever get Covid?

(+) Yeah! (+)

eh ?

I may have gotten it at the very beginning, but I'm not sure if that was covid or the flu or something. I feel like I was sick a bit too early for it to have been covid, but I don't know. I've never had it to my knowledge once the pandemic officially began in the US.

Twice, and am long term fucked from it.

Tested positive today.

I got real sick Jan 2020, so maybe, but I've otherwise avoided getting it since.

Definitely once confirmed with testing in 4 months ago.

Likely in March 2020 but testing was not widely available but the lost smell and taste was exactly the same as it was in the last stint.

I'm not 100% sure that I never got it in 2020. Could have been asymptomatic and just didn't know. But from 2021 until now, I definitely haven't had it. My job has been doing weekly tests since January 2021 and I've always tested negative.

But I've also been pretty careful. I still continue to wear masks, even though it stopped being mandatory months ago. I have sanitizer at home, in my car, and at the office. And I wash my hands often. That said though, I have been going on dates, so I figure if I do get it, it will be because my date gets it. Like in May, I went to see Multiverse of Madness with a woman that ended up testing positive the next day (she found out that a co-worker tested positive, so she tested). Luckily, all of my tests came back negative and I never felt sick.

This.

Yup. And oddly enough it improved my life tremendously after it dragged me down. Everything I been trying to get to click for me mentally has clicked because it restarted my brain and let me rearrange it different. It's a very weird experience Im still coming to terms with. But when I was 28 (4 years ago), there was another experience I had that completely changed me for the better. So, Im thinking this change will stick. It's pretty awesome. I literally cured a shit load of my social anxiety through the experience

It did yeah. It looks smooth as hell and lasts for a whole minute (longer than I thought it would be)

Not sure. Didn't get the classic covid symptoms. This should have been an option.

I always mask up and I'm vaccinated. I could have just been very lucky as well and may have only gotten super mild/asymptotic.

This makes me nervous if and when I get it. I remember two years back to back like 6 years ago I got the flu and they both hit me pretty hard.

Never had it. Lived life normally this whole time, too.

Never been tested but I don't think I ever had COVID.

nope, and i'm gonna continue to do everything i can possibly do to keep it that way

hopefully that goal is maintained

had covid from july 10th to 15th (got to enjoy my birthday without feeling ill)
vaxxed and boosted

in order of appearance: sore throat (1 morning), cough, night sweats (1 night), runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing
the end present from covid: ED. my weiner doesn't work (thinking now, it could've been worse). i don't want to end up dead or on ventilator.

Never had it.

I got the flu when covid first started going around.

Not that I know of

Had it once when the omicron variant was making the rounds. Luckily it was mild and had no lasting effects.

Between feeling like I had it at least twice, always testing negative, and having a severe reaction to the first vaccine shot, I'm pretty sure I had it.

Yea, was bedridden for over a week. With side effects that lingered for weeks after but I made a full recovery eventually.

98% sure I never had it. But there is a remote possibility that I have it right now, but if I do, I am completely asymptomatic.

Had one confirmed case, and another suspected but not confirmed one.

I don't think so, but had something weird in January or February 2020. That said, it was a while before the first confirmed case in my area and probably would have spread faster if it had already been going around.

Pretty sure it was known to be a thing in late 2019 and they just didn't announce it to the public until March 2020 when they realized they couldn't contain it. If your symptoms match up with what we know about Covid now, Id put money on that being what you had.

I don't even care that they didn't announce it to the public right away. We proved to all be idiots that wouldn't of did anything to help if it meant giving up the smallest of our privileges. Them announcing it earlier wouldn't of changed anything. Pretty sure they're just well aware of how stupid everyone is and tried to work around ever having to try to get Americans to consciously be involved. We deserve to be treated like children imo.

Never tested positive, but I'm 99% sure I had it. Came into contact with my dad, then he tested positive. I was fine for a week or so, then I had the worst sore throat I've ever had in my entire life. Felt like I had a throat full of glass. Mainlined cough drops for five days straight, learned menthol starts to give you the shits if you take that many of them.

I had a pretty bad cold that lasted for a couple of days, about a week before the first lockdown here in Australia was announced. I don't know if it was Covid, but I always think back that maybe it was.

Yes, but it was minor.

Not sure how things played out in the US, but media reports of it here in NZ started showing up in January 2020 (EDIT: as in reporting on cases elsewhere; we didn't confirm any cases until the end of February, though later confirmed through serology that we had cases in early-February that we missed at the time). Might've even been December 2019, I don't recall for sure.

The media and politicians started covering it in March. Before that, Im not sure who knew, but nobody I knew knew. I was on CE and no one here knew and shared it before March.

Never got tested but think I probably had it.

I got it right before new years eve. To this day I haven't gotten to celebrate.

Four times that I know of.

I remember first hearing about it when the first cases started popping up in Wuhan. Late 2019 iirc.

:(

i've been completely Covid free this whole time

If ever I did, I mustve been asymptomatic. Ive never tested positive despite some close calls.

My wife, two kid, and I all somehow managed to avoid getting it.

Had it this past April

I'm not aware of having had it, though I guess it's possible I was asymptomatic.

Nope.

People kept telling me I probably got it in November 2019 because I was sick then, but I was only sick for a single day and then fine again. It wasn't anything like Covid.

Honestly, if I heard about it, Id know I couldn't do anything about it and probably just enjoy no one knowing until it felt closer to home. Then Id start warning people Im close to. But, if it could get taken care of before getting close to my people, why even stress them out, ya know?

I got really sick in December 2019, if you look at the symptoms, I had almost every one of them.

But I thought I just had a really bad case of the flu so I never got tested

Not yet. I've been either completely quarantined or testing on a biweekly basis for the last couple years. Kind of crazy to think of it like that.

2 of those were more or less non-events. I only knew I had it because we had to to test all the time for work.
