[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has gone off the rails. I'm one of the nevers but I did have a horrible virus the first week of March 2020 that I assumed was the flu because my younger one was also sick at the time and had tested positive w/Flu A. But this virus ripped through his preschool like wildfire and some of the people who were sick at the time went for flu testing and did not test positive for the flu, which at the time we were like hmmm, that's weird but obviously didn't suspect covid.  The virus I had was very flu-like but it did come with a horrible cough that lingered for weeks and even up until March 13th when everything was shutting down and I remember being at work with this cough (back when we used to go to work with mild symptoms) trying to convince others that I did not have this new thing we were calling covid.  I don't know why I haven't had covid, but I would love to participate in a study to look into further. I know very few nevers (my whole family has had covid at various times and I still did not get it or have any covid symptoms during the the past 3 years, unless I was somehow asymptomatic) and I feel like we are a dwindling number. One my fellow nevers just got covid a few weeks ago--super athletic healthy person--but it really took her down for a week. She said she felt very sick even though she had been vaxxed, so it's still out there.   [/quote]

I'm another "never," although two of my kids definitely had COVID and another likely had it in March of 2020. We test for symptoms. While I have never tested positive for COVID, I have had two hellacious colds since the beginning of COVID, so perhaps they offered protection? In addition, I was extremely cautious and limited my activities for the first two years of the pandemic. I also mask in public places.[/quote]

I'm the previous "never" poster. My kids have each had COVID at different times and the younger one was literally sneezing in my face when he had it. My husband got it last summer and I was in enclosed placed with him just before he tested positive. Over thanksgiving, my sister in law (at the time a fellow never) got it and I was the only one who was in a car with her the day before she tested positive. It's so weird. I did not limit my activities during the pandemic, though I did mask whenever or wherever it was required, but dropped it once the rules were relaxed (except on planes).  The other never I know who is an even odder case is my brother in law doctor--I am so surprised he hasn't gotten it but he is a fierce masker. [/quote]
