UGH.

What is everyone doing that they keep getting Covid? Are you immunocompromised? Worn down?

This isn't a weird flex, I just don't understand the extreme variability and incidence in severity among different people.

I haven't been able to get a Covid positive even when I desperately wanted the Golden Ticket to stay home from work

I have never tested positive or been sick either.

Me as well. I've had all the boosters and mask in high volume areas.

Well, don't think you're immune. Nobody is. I did all those things too. My first bout of Covid was only in May 2023. It comes for everyone. If you had/have a mild case you may not have even known.

It certainly is. We should probably talk about pivoting to virtual learning for a couple of weeks.

So because no one you know has had it in "years and years" it's non-existent? You're one of those people that unless it's affected you and yours it's not a thing.

Say no more. We get it.

Do you test? I almost never do, but when I had it this winter with what was a very mild case, I tested because I had a sniffle and needed to see an older person with cancer and I was stunned when it popped positive. I didn’t even feel sick - I felt identical to typical allergies that I get. Maybe I’ve had it more times.

People are behaving more rationally in public. People with weak immune systems, in highly-contagious locations (doctors offices), or feeling ill mask up in public. I’ve been sick much less - I got my case from a family member in the house who also hadn’t seemed very sick.

Most people don't test for it but probably had it. You probably had it but didn't test.

People aren't behaving more rationally. They go out sick regularly and many doctors don't mask, don't wash their hands and come in sick. I've gotten sick multiple times from the doctors or office. I rarely go out.

What logic is this? If you aren’t sick, what are you testing? It’s the 3rd Friday of the month so let’s test for covid?

You just proved my point.
