I'm just curious. You must vote to see the results. Let me know if there is an option I am missing. I have not yet had my coffee this morning. :P
-
I have never had Covid to my knowledge but could have had an asymptomatic case. I am vaxxed and boosted
That's me. I've been exposed plenty, but have never tested positive. Closest I came was when my daughter had Omicron in January. I felt "off," but couldn't trigger a positive test.
-
Option #1.
Wife has had it officially twice and the kid once. Both are vaxxed as well.
-

-
Guess I'm the only one so far for "I have had Covid once and am fully vaxxed and boosted"
-
I got covid before the vaccine was available. Once it became available I got the vaccine. I got covid again around 8 months after.
Both times, I felt a little rundown like stronger then a cold, but weaker than the flu.
-
I have had Covid once and am fully vaxxed and boosted. To be more specific, I got waxxed, then five months later caught covid, then three months later got boosted, and no covid since.
-
Option #1 for me.
-
#1
-
I've had it twice.....once prior to being vaccinated.....once after.
-
I voted "1", but I may be "3" as well.
-
I have never had Covid to my knowledge but could have had an asymptomatic case. I am vaxxed and boosted.
-
Tested positive once. 3 doses total.
-
#1 and will be getting the new booster soon.
-
Haven’t had it to my knowledge. Been pretty positive I had it a few times but both rapids and PCRs always came back negative.
Just got my 4th shot last Friday.
-
I may have had it at one point but didn't test. My kid got a positive test, but she was barely sick. I tested at that time and was negative.
From another perspective, COVID has not had any significant impact on my life for the better part of the last year. Other than in medical providers' offices, I have not worn a mask since the mandate went away last year.

Hot damn! I seriously thought I was the only one—everyone I know and work with, and I mean everyone, has had covid but me. But judging by this poll I am far from alone. Obviously, there's a DTforum correlation here ;D

LoL - It appears so.
Obviously this isn't necessarily applicable to the population at large, but it is pretty damn interesting so far.

Had covid once, am vaxxed and boosted.
I'm also shocked so many haven't had it yet. My gf and her entire family have not had it yet and it amazes me as they are the only people in my social circle that haven't had it yet even with me exposing all of them to it when I had covid. Makes me think there's something in their genes.
-
Yeah it's weird, my entire family got it, my brother-in-law's entire family got it, my mother-in-law got it, however my father-in-law who we all interacted with when we got COVID was the only one who didn't get it. On my side of the family no one got it. It's just so weird at times.

They could have had it, but were Asymptomatic. And if you're Asymptomatic, what would make one feel they need to get tested if they're not showing any signs that they are sick?

That's why I said I might be #1 and #3. I mean, I know I'm #1, but I travel the most out of all my immediate family (my brother is more exposed as a cop, and my step son is in the military) and I kind of didn't forego things like concerts when they were made available. I DID get vaccinated like day of, so I didn't f around there, but it is stunning to me that I didn't get it (though I can think of at least two occasions where for 24 hours or so I had what would be considered the symptoms of COVID; but even with testing it never popped positive).

I was not asymptomatic. I was sick when I woke up New Years day at my gf's family's house with all of them home who we celebrated the previous night with.

#3
My wife and my two daughters had if with mild symptoms, then two days later I got sick and I was as sick as I've never been in my life before. Was short of being sent to the hospital. But I never tested positive in that time. But what else could it have been, so I'm sure I had it.
Was around the time when the vaccine was made available in Germany. In fact my wife had had her first shot and mine was already scheduled.
Now I'm fully vaxxed and boosted and didn't have it again.
-
Cram, it looks like Ben is asking you why your girlfriend's family would get tested when they showed no symptoms. I don't think you were insinuating that.
-

Oh, well they got tested because they were in close contact with me. It's funny though, both my gf and her mother said they weren't feeling good but were totally fine once they got their negative test. I think there's either some mental games played here or they did get an infection, enough to feel something off, but not strong enough to test positive. Who knows.

I think there's something to that mental thing; I know I feel like I've experienced it.
-
Definitely something to that mental thing.
-
No doubt the mental aspect of it messes with you. I know when my wife and kid had it I was convinced any little tickle in my throat or cough I had ratcheted the anxiety level up more than a notch.
-
I have had Covid once and am not vaxxed
Was totally mild and could still mostly function. Had flu's way worse than COVID. Won't be getting vaxxed any time soon either.
-
I picked 3 only because I had a very strange bronchitis type illness in February 2020 and I never get bronchitis so I'm curious if it was a very early strain. Other than that I may be in between options 1 and 2 since I got the first two doses but didn't bother with the boosters.
-
Clearly I've now joined the 4th option.
-
I didn't vote because I don't exactly fit any of the options. I was fully vaxxed as soon as they were made available. I'm diabetic so I was able to cut in line as far as getting the shot from the get-go. However, I never got boosted.
I had covid in late January/early Feb. I felt absolutely horrible for four days then I was able to recover fairly quickly over the next couple of weeks.
-
had Covid once back in early july and was fully vaxxed and boosted at the time.
-
Not vaxxed,,, never will be and I went out every day, went to work every day as I am an owner, went to dinner since day one , I go out and party every weekend, and I have not had a cold nor covid in years... I did put zinc in my daily routine for the first year or so,,, Id eat a few oranges more also
I did not see my parents for about a year as I was worried about them so we just talked more but they no longer give it much thought , they got vaxxed but no longer believe and wont get boosted ever
-
Hey - for those who don't quite fit into one category, I added an "other" option and you should be able to change your vote.
Thanks for participating!
-
I voted Other. I'm vaxxed and (first) boosted. I lost my sense of taste for three days in May but didn't test.
I have also worked with the public for basically 6 days a week the entire time. I have not been sick at anytime.
-
Family had Covid end of July. We are all vaxxed with one booster - I kinda lost track of where boosters are at these days - except the 4 year old, who got it pretty hard.
-

This is me as well. The worst part for me was the sore throat with a dry cough. Other than, I was just stuffy with occasional runny nose, and just tired enough to not want to go anywhere.
-

Was this when you started appreciating music with growls?
-
Never had Covid and I'm double vaxxed.

"I have had Covid once and am fully vaxxed and boosted"
-
I've had it once, after I was vaxxed and boosted (2 months after my last booster).
My wife is convinced she was one of the first batches of people getting sick. When covid struck she was doing a lot of nurse educating in Boston and NYC and had to fly home because she got so sick, sicker than I've ever seen her. She spent most of her adult life as a ER nurse (adults then pediatric) and she was rarely sick and if she was it was hardly anything to speak about.
-
I'm vaxxed and boosted, don't know if I've had Covid. I had a really nasty cold earlier this year - it was rougher than my usual cold, so it could very well have been a case of Covid.
-
Well, I've been called a mutant before. I guess they were right!

I've been doing some reading up on this because it fascinates the hell out of me. I think one of the obstacles they've run into is the fact that so many people had Covid but were asymptomatic vs having the gene that prevents someone from actually contracting it. You would think an antibody test would rule these folks out but it isn't that simple because when you get vaccinated your immune response makes antibodies. So the needle in the haystack are people who never got the vaccine but have never had Covid. Those people get tested for antibodies and if they have none, then the researchers have a pool of people to draw from.
-
I just came down with covid and I am very sick right now. I'm fully vaccinated and boosted. This has been a terrible experience so far right after losing my best friend/companion to cancer last month. She was an amazing lady in every way! Now I get struck with covid.
I tested positive on Wednesday, and this virus has knocked me down for the count. Way worse then the flu or a cold. No signs of let-up yet. I'm trying to ride it out at home, hopefully avoiding a hospital visit. 🤧🤯🥵🤒
-
Wow, the option 1 percentage is higher than I thought it would be. :eek
Also, I'd like to say to all those who are sick, my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

A week ago I might have put myself in that camp. As she said, separating out the lucky from the immune is the tricky part.

Hang in there. And consider finding out if you're a candidate for any of the therapies.

I really, really wanted to live through this untouched by Covid, but the only time I let my guard down, and didn't wear the mask in a closed venue for Alice Cooper, I got it.
At least I can say I fell at a rock concert, and didn't take it in a "stupid" way :D
Three doses, got for three days a classic fever, headache for six days, and a slow aftermath of cough. It was horrible timing - in the scorching heat of summer, while my AC was broken down, while the other guy at work doing my same mansion was in vacation so everything was screwed up, but all in all, major annoyance aside, it was "just" a flu. The aftermath was long and annoying, but coworkers got it even worse - someone had it far longer than me, a couple of women lamented heavy pains, the coworker that eventually got it for the second time lost the taste etc.... for me it was just like any other flu I previously had, just more annoying and with a more prolonged aftermath.

I'm kinda in the same camp. Back in April, the first time out in a large social setting in over 2 years, and I took my mask off for about 10-15 minutes to sip a beer and munch some food at a pub with a bunch of new work colleagues (it was literally my first day on the job at a new firm), and the person I'm sitting next to announces to the group the next morning he's testing positive :angry:. For a 2-day period in the midst of my case, I was sicker than I'd ever been in my life (well, there were a few hangovers where I'd felt worse :lol).
Kudos to those that have had to good fortune to avoid it, or only have a mild case.
-
Me and the Mrs. have been very fortunate so far. Neither have had it, or symptoms. We are both vaxxd and boosted once.
-

Yea, that's pretty much my case too.
-
I'm vaxxed and boosted. Was pretty sick a couple times in the past two years, but never tested positive for COVID.
-
I'm starting to feel a bit better today. The worst thing about this is the intense body aches, coughing, and headaches. It makes it impossible to sleep. The relief meds have side effects that make my body feel restless and can't stop moving. Crazy stuff! :eek

That is indeed interesting, but I wouldn't consider it surprising (and I know you didn't specifically say it was "surprising"). I mean, rhinoviruses and coronaviruses have been around forever, and yet we know that a lot of people who get common colds from either of them often show no symptoms, and that plenty who are exposed don't seem to get them for reasons that are unclear and somewhat of a mystery. This really isn't all that different, is it?

What is different and is interesting (to me) is that finding people who have zero antibodies to Covid-19 because of the mass vaccination effort is what is making research into WHY some people are not susceptible so difficult. From what I understand it is possible to differential specific antibodies to Covid-19 vs other coronaviruses. It is true that coronaviruses have been around forever. I don't know that I've ever met someone who claims they have never had a cold - though it is possible. It's just that common cold symptoms are difficult to distinguish between various viral illnesses. Many also cannot distinguish immune response to vaccines (like influenza) from illness. Most people I know do not go in and get tested for your standard typical cold. At least not before the pandemic, and that is merely to rule out Covid-19 and/or influenza etc.

Oh, I see what you mean.

I have had Covid once and I am fully vaccinated and boosted.
My sister and I contracted it at the same time, In June this year we had done a rat test (rapid antigen test) on the same day after she had lost her sense of taste and I lost my voice.
Both rates were negative, a day later she had a pcr test done and was positive, I took another rat which was positive, then backed it up with a pcr which
was also positive, (as rats had been known to provide false positives), I honestly just thought I had flu, (it was winter at this time in Australia)
We had been at Crown Casino in Melbourne with our brother at a live event, and he never had any symptoms, and so far has not had Covid at all.
During the week quarantine, I went through everything flu related, lost my voice, runny nose, very slight cough and fever.
My sister lost her sense of taste for one month, had a runny nose and a cough towards the end of her one week quarantine.
(This was late June this year)
-
I had 3 vaccines and have had covid twice. Fuck me I guess :lol
-
I’m getting vaccine #4 in a couple of days. I haven't had Covid, to my knowledge, and am starting to feel impervious to it. ;D Famous last words, right?
-
I spent a week in the ICU before I was eligible for vaccinations. At that point, I think it was just elderly, first responders, and teachers.
I've now had both Moderna shots and two following boosters. People around me have had COVID and didn't realize it until after long periods of exposure, so the vaccines either prevented it in me or made it asymptomatic.
-
I don't take any chances. I went to a Dodgers game when Covid was low, but other than that I avoid the public as much as possible. I wear PPE in grocery stores. Not much fun but never been sick. Vaxxed and boosted.
-
I'm so glad I did this poll. And I am frankly quite shocked that so many folks here have not knowingly gotten Covid. I would've imagined that number to be much lower, TBH.
-
Another #1 here. Never had it to my knowledge. Been tested three times, all negative. Two shots and one booster, getting the bivalent booster next week.
My wife and I work from home but we do go grocery shopping once or twice a week and dine out once a week. Neither of us have had it.
-
Illness is definitely a strange thing. I used to be sick quite often as a kid living up in the cold and damp NW (Oregon). Moving to a drier climate (Arizona) may have helped, but I think it was mostly growing older and developing immunity to certain things. Who knows? Could it be somewhat of a mindset too? For example, I had the stomach flu really bad at age 11. Told myself I was never gonna get that again. Here I am 45 years later and haven't had the stomach flu since. You know that 48 hr flu where you're not vomiting, but it feels like you got hit by a truck and the aches and chills are nothing short of brutal? Haven't had that in over 30 years and I stopped getting the flu shot not too long after that. Can't even begin to know why or even try to explain it.
:dunno:
-

I went to VA for college and felt like my sinuses were rebelling the entire time. Some times I would sneeze 5-6 times at a shot, others my nose would drip endlessly like a leaky faucet. Came back to WA and never felt that way again. My wife said once she moved here from NM she had much fewer allergy attacks.

I have never had COVID to my knowledge, and also don't believe I have had an Asymptomatic Case, and am Vaxxed and Boosted.
