How many times have you had Covid?

Anonymous
Zero times. I'm very pleased about that.

To my knowledge, zero. Ditto for my spouse and kid.

Are you masking everywhere inside? Do you eat out? Work in person?


I did mask inside up until this month. The two times I got it was from an outdoor little league game last summer, and then the second time was from my son who got it on an airplane (we were all masked)



So you travel, fly, eat out, go to crowded sporting events. How was this being very careful which is what I think you said in your first post?

"Extremely careful?" In what world...?

My dh and I mask inside, and do not eat inside restaurants. And wear an N95 to health appointments and in crowded indoor spaces, but not outside. DH works in person one day a week, and wears a mask if he leaves his office; I wfh.

We have health reasons for doing this, so are motivated!


Op take note: this is "extremely careful".

I never wear a mask, have asthma, am over 50.
Been to Europe (maskless!) 4 times, been on a dozen other flights and hundreds of restaurants.
Have no idea if or how many times I’ve been exposed because I don’t care.
I also don’t walk around in a body condom to avoid chickenpox or MRSA.

DC is still owning Trump by wearing masks. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.


Not me - I have a very big event coming up next Saturday for which I DO NOT want to be sick. I am an elementary school teacher and ALL my kids are sick with God Knows What right now. I am double masking and running a HEPA filter fan in my classroom. Not to own Trump but to NOT GET SICK. From COVID or whatever else these kids have got. I'm thrilled that it is no longer considered at all weird to wear a mask at work. Some kids and teachers do, some don't. Whatever. No one cares.

Latest thing I read is the most recent variant has symptoms resembling allergies. I doubt anyone is testing when they have those symptoms. Covid may or may not be "over" but I think ultra worrying about it is long over for most people.

Zero as far as I know.

Zero. DH had it once and had other exposures, but our kid and I never got it. We weren’t big maskers either, so lucky perhaps?

Once that I know of. I had one other noticeable cold after COVID started circulating, never tested positive, so who knows.

I am maskless unless required (mostly places like doctors) and I'm not thinking about risk, but my lifestyle doesn't include very much exposure (very few people work in my office, I don't eat out much, etc.)

Wow, so many zeros! DH, DS and I have had it twice. DD had it once, didn’t catch it the second time. Both times likely caught it from daycare.

At least once before tests were widely available. DH tested positive first and then I got sick and they told me not to come in and just assume I had it.

I’ve tested a few times over the last two years with home tests when I’m sick. None have been positive.

Once, this past December, while traveling despite wearing a mask through the airport.

Before that, each of 3 members of my household had it at different times. I work in a crowded school. I thought maybe I was immune.
