I would have said the same. 3 and a half years working retail during the pandemic and last week was the week it knocked me on my ass. Be careful.

I'm just lonely, that's my secret :)

That's me. I stayed home, avoided events, and waited to go to restaurants until cases were down. When I did go places, I went when it wasn't busy and sat outside. Avoiding COVID wasn't rocket science, all you had to do was follow the basic principles of disease prevention.

I'm one of those who still haven't caught covid. But every time I leave home, I still wear a mask. I vaccinate whenever a booster's available. And i still wash my hands all the time.

meanwhile i got vaccinated 4 times and still caught it twice - is there a prize for that end of the spectrum?

That's me!

That fucker got me in april. Even with precautions. Thank god i got vaccinated or my immunocompromised ass would be six feet under.

This is me so far

About 1 in 4 haven't had it https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-many-americans-havent-caught-covid-cdc-estimates/

I'm one of them! It has been in the house three separate times and I've managed to make out without a single positive test. I don't even bother with masks outside the house

I worked retail through the worst parts of the pandemic, there is no chance I didn't get it, but I never had symptoms.

I am sure, at this point, for some people the tests don't work. I have lupus and take immune suppression medication and my only means of transportation is public transport. Normally, I collect every germ possible. But somehow not COVID? Nah.

Avoid kids, don't go outside unless you have to, don't touch everything you see like you're some kind of toddler; hands in your pocket. Don't slack on basic precautions, gravitate towards old people and if you see a white girl cough, drop your path and reroute to avoid them.

The first and last ones are by far the most important to follow; by far the biggest vectors of the disease.

Yeah. You'll win nothing. :-D

Just like the guy whose name was Peter Ninth, born on 9.9.1999, who was living in flat number 9... On his 19th birthday he bought a ticket on horse race for the horse number 9.

The horse ended up ninth.

I realized a latent autoimmune disorder instead! Winner!

I haven't ever had COVID (that I'm aware of, and I tested regularly for the first two years of the pandemic), because I never stopped following the science and taking precautions.

I recognize that I was and am able to consistently take those precautions only because of a lot of privilege.

My immunocompromised wife is now on day 3 of her 3rd case. She's a preschool teacher, and one of her students is always sick at any given time.

So far I'm lucky and only had it once (after the first time she had it) and it was barely more than a tickle in my throat. I'm still coming up negative despite still sharing a bed with her (I keep the windows and bedroom door open and ceiling fan on high hoping to dissipate the germs).

Thankfully my 6yr old has been rolling negative tests all week too. Crossing my fingers we get through the next few days clean.

Didn't get it until July this year. The kids brought it through the house in 2021, by some miracle of vaccination the wife and I didn't catch it then. Then the wife brought it home. Was pretty mild for both of us. We've kept our boosters up and we're in Australia so it didn't go nuts here until omicron

That's me and my whole family of 4. Suck it, COVID.

I kind of hope I am just immune at this point. I'll probably get it randomly in a few years when I least expect it.

I haven't but fucked if I know how.

I actually only know three people who've gotten it and two were not vaccinated

I suspect that I had an asymptomatic case at some point, my dad was testing positive and was not showing symptoms and my mom and sister were both showing symptoms but tested negative (even though given the circumstances, I don't think that result was correct)

I never showed symptoms or took a test as I wasn't showing symptoms so hard to know

Never caught it, or never tested positive... or even bothered to be tested. I'm pretty sure I just had one of the mild cases, because I've had 'generic respiratory illness' with sniffles and congestion a few times since COVID-19 became a concern. I'm betting there is a large group of people who fit into my category.

I live in a very small town and pretty much only leave home for groceries. In general I'm never around people. On top of taking all the precautions, it wasn't that hard for me.

I was COVID-free until the end of July. I've now had it twice.

I got the Moderna shots and I ended up with a inflamed heart muscle.

Ended up with multiple hospital visits and couldn't work for 3 months.

Still not feel all that better.

I didn't want the shots, but I needed to do it for me work.

Made it to July. I don't go out much so not a big surprise. Knew it would happen. Girl I was seeing tested positive but said I could still come over to have sex. Had sex, caught covid. Stayed at home til I tested negative. Totally worth it.

Don’t bother with a lottery ticket, you’re more likely to catch Covid.

As I'm writing this right now, I'm getting sick for the second time. Thanks dad.

Is there a vaccine that helps you win the lottery?

I can't say I've completely avoided it, but I've only experienced loss of taste, although it may be placebo effect caused by the times.

Edit: grammar

We provided home-schooling for two and had an immune suppressed person at our home. I added a HEPA air exchange filtration system and upgraded our furnace/AC for a second HEPA filter in our home. Now, the children are back in school, and their dad is back to the office. We are teaching at school, but remain Covid free. We had our most recent shot on Thursday. We know of more infected people this year in our circle this past two months, than the entire time before, so we are hoping for the best.

I somehow dodged it until earlier this year and it barely affected me. Just woke up now at 6am and I have it again lol. The rest of my family spent the last week dealing with it and now it's my turn again.

I never got covid and if I did it was completely without symptoms.

Rest of the family got when visiting me in the city but somehow I did not get ill.
