[quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure my family (spouse, me, 2 kids) had covid March 2020 right when this all started but none of us were sick enough to be able to get a test and by the time the antibody test was available, my dr said it had been too long for us to be able to detect antibodies. I had it the worst w a bad, unrelenting cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, chills, throat pain, headaches and body aches that lasted several weeks (I am not someone who often gets sick and usually when I am sick it passes quickly so this was odd for me). My spouse had the body aches and a cough but not as bad as mine and his lasted about a week and a half. The kids basically just had a cold/very mild symptoms and were better within a few days. At the time I thought it was a cold but Ive never had a cold that severe or long lasting before. Possible exposure from briefly hanging out w a friend of a friend who had recently returned from traveling in Asia. But no one else in the group w that person (including the friend who was traveling in Asia herself) got sick. It was only later when they started talking about asymptomatic spreaders that I suspected it may have actually been covid that we had. So we will never know for sure that we had it then but no illnesses since then. We have been very cautious—spouse and I WFH entirely, kids virtual school and no activities or play dates, none of us socialize in person w anyone besides close family members since this began, no restaurants or bars so in person shopping. The reason we have been so cautious is primarily so we could continue seeing my parents and my in laws and our siblings and their kids and not worry about exposing them. Out of all our family (which includes 18 people when you combine both sides) that we have continued to see during this time has gotten sick or had a known covid exposure since our nuclear family’s suspected covid illness in March 2020.
