Have at it.
The way Omicron ripped through this country has me thinking at least some of us have had it.
-
I haven't but my 12yo son has it currently.
-
I had to select "Nope" because I've had no symptomatic illness of any type. And I've never been COVID tested, so I never had a chance to learn of an asymptomatic infection.
But all that means is that I don't *think* I've had it.

Yeah same here. It's entirely possible I've had it and it was asymptomatic or very mildly symptomatic. I haven't had the antibody test since June of 2020, so any number of waves since then could have caught me.
I did have some mild body aches and a cough that started back before Christmas, I took one of our home tests and it showed negative, so I dismissed it as seasonal allergies aka cedar fever. The aches are a normal symptom of my seasonal allergies but the cough isn't. Now that we know the home tests don't really pick up Omicron, it's possible I had it then.
-
I don't know it was Omicron but I assume it was. Test results came back positive on Sunday. Had really only 2 days of mild symptoms - some body aches and congestion. The rest of the days I have just noticed I am more tired at night. Wife and son may have had it too but they weren't tested. Daughter somehow tested negative.
-
Not that I know of. Three tests over the last 18 months- all negative.
Now I did get sicker than hell in September 2019, before this thing we all know about had made its public appearance. All the ear marks and the doctor struggled to understand what it was so they just called it the flu. Who knows.
-

no positive test

So 12yr old has symptoms + exposure to cv positive kid recently . We test today.....negative. ?
I'm convinced I've had it at some point but zero positive tests to show for it.

I've been hearing that it's often not showing up positive in tests until 4-5 days in.
Son now had his second "close contact" email from the school in basically as many weeks, yesterday being the potential exposure. Thankfully he went to his mom's house after school today and will be there until the 28th, so I might have dodged a bullet on that one. It's unlikely exposure yesterday would have made him contagious yesterday, so I hope we're in the clear.
-
I suspect that there's been an outbreak at work because there are some masked individuals all of a sudden. The gal I work alongside was out sick for a week and didn't get tested. Now she's back with no mask, so maybe I will get it. I got some double shot vaccine quite a while back. No "booster" though, whatever that is. Probably won't get it either, since I can't find that stupid card that says that I got the first two.

A 3rd poll for a vastly asymptomatic virus.......ya'll are something else.
-
Yeah, the exposure was 5 days ago, her symptoms were 24 hrs ago, test today, a rapid and then once neg, we did a strep test, my MD wife was convinced she has strep based on her exam of her and kids history of strep, that's negative so we did PCR, also negative. Strep culture sent, that's a 1 in 10 to come back pos.
Silly shit. She feels and looks like crap, so I genuinely think she's sick with a non covid illness. A kid at her age doesnt eat only a cup of pudding and half a milkshake in 30+ hrs.
But, these schools and sports have these playbooks and were running 'em.

And Afro proving he is still King Ass.
From New York Times: "The number of Americans hospitalized with Covid-19 has surpassed last winter’s peak..."
Death rates are way down. Yah! But, hospital rates aren't sky high because this bug is 'asymotomatic' it's a nasty bug still hitting a large section of our populace hard.
I've been tested Numerous times, and haven't had any version of Covid. My youngest pick it up from school in Dec. But the rest of us were able to take care of her and not get it ourselves.

Omicron is also something else.
Stop being a dick.
-
Probably had it a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't going to get tested. I was exposed to someone who had it and I developed a cough and a few other symptoms a few days later. Stayed at home until symptoms subsided went on with my life. Which in my opinion is what most people should do.

Indeed, a virus so deadly that you have to take a test to find out whether or not you ever had it...

Well, of course, but look what US/World bureaucrats have done to us for 2 years as a result.
That's not nothing.

I’m impressed I’ve avoided it to this point. A new short lived gym tryout will possibly end that.
We shall see.
-
Well, got my send away results today and I’m…
…negative. I have to say I’m surprised. After my kids tested positive Sunday and I became symptomatic Monday night I was pretty sure I had it. I didn’t trust the negative at home test but I guess it was right. So, to my knowledge, I still haven’t had COVID.

It can still be a false negative. My understanding is that false negatives are fairly common until you get 4-5 days in.
If your kids had also been negative, then it might be reasonable to assume it's something other than COVID. But if they tested positive, I think you should assume it was a false negative result.
-
I gotta change my vote! Tested positive today. I feel fine. I got sent home and have to be out 5 days.

Good luck, OAM. Hope you remain asymptomatic.

Try out Jim Beam,it's worked for me

Indeed, good luck OAM. Hope it remains mild for you, and you get to enjoy your super-immunity for the next round which will kill all the rest of us that haven't ever had it...

All it means is that Whoa Nellie customers will get their orders sooner, lol.
Honestly, it's more work to take leave than to just go in to work. A person who is trying their best, but is unfamiliar with all of the routines and procedures that make the school day work in my class, is going to (hopefully) follow the outline I provide.
That is, of course, if there are enough adult bodies on campus and they don't just split my class among 3 others, saddling them with extra stuents that are unfamiliar with their exact routines and procedures.
Fun stuff.
It feels weird - they sent me home, but I feel like I'm playing hooky since I feel perfectly fine.

Both of my sons right now have had "your child was a close contact of someone who tested positive" emails sent home this week.
They're at their mom's house right now, but due to come back Friday. Assuming neither tests positive or starts showing symptoms, that'll happen...
Which probably means that one of them will start showing symptoms on Friday evening and I'm f$&#^d.

My 12yo son just got out of COVID jail and went to school today. He was pretty bummed that his week+ vacation was over.

Did you test out of some routine that’s required or just curiosity?

Everyone at work noticed a change in my voice. I thought I maybe had a tiny cold coming on or something. That was Monday. Now I might blow my nose once an hour (to clear runniness, not congestion). Nothing, really.
So based on that, they had me test. Idk, maybe I'm in denial or whatever, but I feel perfectly fine, nothing in my throat, no aches, no breathing issue, nothing. No fever, no cough, no actual congestion.
The weirdest part was that 10-15 min test IMMEDIATELY showed that I have it.
So I have 5 days to kill.

Glad you are asymptomatic.

Update:
I went to sleep early. I can tell I'm sick - just that feeling of being sick, but I don't feel bad at all. And no congestion still, which is weird with this feeling. I'm often congested even when I'm not sick, which I assume are some kind of allergies.
Anyway, I'll be trying to put my ego in a drawer and realize my class will be fine without me today. Gonna be a lot of printing and cutting for me, I reckon.
-
Glad to know you are doing well. Hang in there.

Another guy on our team in FL posted he had COVID now. His locker was three down from me. I ASSUME I was exposed to him or anyone there, it was crowded at times.
They had signs up to wear masks in the locker room but no one did, we had to put one on in the training room, the trainers insisted which was fine with me. They have jobs, I don't. Greg McMichael who runs it muttered something about wearing masks, I suppose it was obligatory. Some of the van drivers wore masks.
No one asked about vax status and we were not required to test. We lost one pretty good player from our team after Day One, he went home sick, probably COVID.
I am without any symptoms at this point, have not tested.
-
With all the travel you do, You have to have had it by now.
-
Maybe, if so I didn't know it. I figure I have been exposed near certain, but exposure doesn't mean I got it. The last time I was sick was in France in late January, 2020, and the symptoms were not that of COVID.
My ankle still hurts pretty bad, I need to get an in step protector.
-
I believe only about 2% of tests are testing for actual variants.
Based on timing, I believe I had Alpha in Oct. 2020, and Delta in Late November 2021.

Trying not to. I am good at getting it, and good at recovery, so far. I have returned to wearing masks in my law office.
-
My brother is a dentist and he hasn't had it. All his employees are vaccinated. He wears an N95, and covers it up with a surgical mask, all day long at work.
-
Any mask is of dubious value for the person wearing them. A face shield should be better. A full respirator should help, but then ...
