Zero. My husband has had it twice and my kids once. Until very recently, I masked inside every store. I have a very bad cold now but tested for the third time this week, and I am negative so I think it's just a cold. I chaperoned a school field trip and didn't mask last week.

Tested positive once, back in Sept '22. It was a mild case, but I tested because I knew my friend's kid was positive, and we had been visiting that week. Unvaxed, and living life normally.

My son had it in Sep '21, and my husband in July '22. Also very mild cases, and no one else in the house developed symptoms at the same time.

I may have had something in March of 2020, I was extremely fatigued and my chest felt heavy and prickly. I can't say I was sick- sick. But- no idea really.
Since then, nothing, my *kids nothing (* adults), and spouse nothing. We are all very careful. Vaccinated. We avoid large public functions, work from home, mask in public places, vitamins, etc. We eat outside at restaurants.

I think this will be our time though, as the latest booster has no effect on this latest variant.

No idea.

I had it once that I caught by testing last year, but we don’t test anymore. I suppose it’s possible other colds or illnesses I’ve had since were Covid. I honestly even think about it anymore.

I imagine I was an asymptomatic carrier at one point. Don't care, and am amused at those who still mask. Especially that woman I spotted today wearing a cloth mask years after it was finally admitted they were just theater.


They aren't. Mine has a filter. Hers probably does too.

We mask in stores and public transportation.


Same here. I mask in public areas.

Oh, sweetheart, sorry to burst your bubble of delusion. However, Covid is still here, still quite serious, and yes, still kills a fair amount of people. Secondly, even mild cases can contribute to blood clots for up to a year. Repeated infections adds to that risk. No, this isn't over, mmkay?

To my knowledge only twice. I was super careful until I had it the first time in January 2022, and then I gradually released my grip on wearing a mask. My kids and DH have had it twice too, but only one of the two times was all together. Honestly, now that I’ve seen how mild and brief symptoms CAN be, I think everyone has had it, despite believing they haven’t.

I've had it twice, in 2021 and then 2022. It was very rough the first time, in bed for a week and barely could move.

Second time felt like a mild cold.

I feel like I have been more careful than most people but I do feel like my immunity was shot after working from home remotely. My spouse who works in an office only had it once to my knowledge.

Zero in our immediate family, that we know of. If so, it was completely asymptomatic. We’re all vaxxed, some of us are boosted. We wore masks when we had to, but weren’t strict about it. Never gave up going shopping or eating out. I (DH) have never even tested myself. Covid is so far in our rear view mirror, we don’t even see it.

Was the graduation outside or inside?

Once, about six months ago.

I’ve been exposed to it so many times. I’m a teacher (in person throughout the pandemic) and my students come in sick regularly. They are quite honest and admit they are sent to school with positive results. I figure I’m exposed regularly.

Honestly? I’ve stopped caring.

Zero. I wear a KN95 anytime I am inside anywhere other than my house, my hotel room, my airbnb, etc. We have HEPA filters running in our house and leave some small windows cracked (ones that are too small to break into). We test our kids who are in school whenever they are even slightly sick and as a result we caught both of their covid cases early and were able to isolate them in their rooms (easy to do since they are teens who prefer to be in their rooms anyway). We didn't catch it from either of them.
