Poll: Have you had COVID

I think the poll is pretty explanatory.

I put maybe because there were no tests available here when I got it in late January, 2020.  My doctor has no doubts that I had it, it darn near killed me and my wife.

I put no.

Obviously I probably should put "I don't think so but I doubt it", because I did not have several negative antibody tests prior to the vaccine to confirm I didn't have it...

But given that my wife was going to the office today, that I was shuttling kids back and forth to their mom's house, and given that literally nobody in my orbit incl wife's parents, kids' grandparents on mom's side, etc ever showed symptoms (and I don't know how we could have avoided spread) I feel pretty comfortable that I did not ever have it. SOMEONE would have shown up with symptoms somewhere, and nobody did.

I put I doubt it.  I did have an unusual and unexplainable cough for about 6 months starting in March 2020.  And I mean, I NEVER get a cough.  I never get sick at all.  So this was very unusual and it lasted forever.

But I also tested negative for antibodies in June 2020.  So it's likely I didn't have it, but I can't say for sure.

Yes, and verified.

I will say this.. I had it in early March of 2020 and had antibodies in May. No antibodies by July, but that is no matter. It's the B and T cells that matter. They learn and they attack. 

What don't know is if they forget, or remain forever.

Nope.  I've been tested 4 times and have never had it.  3 times pre-vaccine, and once last week when I had a cold.

I think my answer would be I don’t know, and I’m not sure. I certainly could’ve been asymptomatic. I’ve done a fair amount of traveling. And I’m baseline kind of sick most of the time. But it turns out if you don’t get enough sleep and spend a lot of time being stressed, that can also be a symptom.

I've been around numerous people that had it were symptomatic, but never showed any symptoms . . . until Tuesday. I had a high fever and plenty of aches and pains. I took yesterday off and pretty much stayed in bed. Last night my fever broke and I feel much better today, although I am still very tired and a little achy. I will try to get through work today (I work at home).

I should probably go get a Covid test, but not sure that I will. I have no plans of leaving the house for the next few days and will most likely stick to that.

All of that to say that I voted Maybe, but never got tested.

I had something in France late Jan. 2020, but the symptoms were not that of COVID, more like bronchitis.  I stayed in bed 3 days with a lot of facial tissue.

Nobody else got it.

Please get tested, so you know your status.

Are you vaccinated? Don't answer if that's too personal. No worries.

That is very much a symptom. It's not bronchitis though. That's what I thought at first.

I don't think my symptoms overlapped with what I've read about COVID, and what my kid in Texas had.

I just had a cough and tons of mucus.  I didn't feel all that bad otherwise, no fever, no loss of smell, just like a bad cold.  I was taking 2-3 showers to try and clear my nose.

Everyone is different. I never lost taste/smell, for example. Most people don't. But, it's a symptom.
