Malama pono (Hawaiian for “take good care”.)

I’ve only had it once. I was also lucky. My symptoms faded in 48 hours, and I have no lingering side effects.

Oh, ugh, sorry to hear this @Call_Me_Jay! Feel better indulge yourself. I think those of us who come later to the party are special!

Snack shamelessly, watch too much dumb TV and sleep and sleep!

I haven’t yet.

Being a socially isolated germaphobe, who got their 7th vaccination 4 weeks ago, probably helps.

I’ve had it twice and both times were awful even though I’m vaccinated. The second time I got it was two months after my last booster.

I had it at least once, maybe twice. Wasn’t too bad but it did interrupt some nice plans. Have gotten every vaccine they’ve offered.

@Call_Me_Jay Feel better soon!

I don’t think I have, never tested positive or for antibodies. But i got mulitple boosters and still work from home.

Have not had COVID-19.

I have not had it either.

Have either of you tested for antibodies? Just curious.

After all my vaccinations . . . . antibodies are caused by vaccinations ! ! ! !

I believe vaccine antibodies are shortlived, thius the need for updates. Covid antibodies from having it last longer. I was just curious, wonder if insurance would cover it?

Never tested for antibodies. I did get my vaccine and boosters, but by all measures, I should have gotten COVID. Just based on how exposed I was on many occasions.

@Blackwater_Park Same. Same house taking care of mom twice, who died, and my husband. How could I not have? Its odd.

I think I owe it to being around crowds of people for years. I was a college student from about 1995–2011. I constantly got whatever was going around. At some point I just stopped getting colds as easily as I once did. Perhas I had a COVID like illness and had some immunity from that? Not sure. Could be genetics, could be the vaccine, could be luck ¯\(ツ)/¯

@Blackwater_Park I’m a country kid who swam in ponds, ran barefoot and likely ate dirt, so I’ll go with that. :)
I rarely have been sick as an adult at all. Maybe once every 5 years I get a good one.

I did that too, I used to come home covered in mud from playing in the creek.

I very rarely get a cold or anything…I attribute it to eating half of an earthworm when I was 2. :D I loved playing in the creek! Catching frogs and toads for pets, salamanders, the ones that are orange with dark dots I think the eastern salamander.

Have not had covid.

I got it a few weeks ago for the first time. Felt just like a cold, but took a covid test and it came back positive.

I haven’t had it.

I haven’t had it as far as I know. I have taken all the vaccines offered and am due to get another Covid/flu jab next week.

FYI: This pandemic ended last May.

I’ve received 5 vaccinations for the disease and definitely haven’t gotten it.

The way that I look at this is if a person doesn’t get sick then there is no disease.

No harm. No foul.

@KNOWITALL I was just curious, wonder if insurance would cover it?

My insurance paid for my 6th dose last week. I think CVS/Walgreens/whatever will know if they can pass on the cost.

Neither my husband nor I have had covid. I still wear a mask in very crowded indoor situations that have lots of tourists or strangers.

Three weeks ago I had a cold for the first time since covid started, I tested like 6 times, two different brands, over 4 days, always negative. Typical mild cold. I’m pretty sure I know when I caught it, a bunch of people were shouting right into my face because music was loud and one of them seemed sick to me. So annoying. I tested a lot, because my husband was coming home the fourth day of me being sick, and a regular cold is usually not contagious by then. If it was covid coming up positive he might have waited another day.
