OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

I’m pretty much the only person I know who hasn’t got Covid. I don’t particularly play it safe either. I’ve only worn a mask when mandated.

I think we’re genetically predisposed to get it, or not.

 

I thought the same until I got it. Be careful, it sucked for me.

I do know some folks who never got it even though their family in their household did.

 

My son-in-law got it and never passed it to my daughter or their two kids. Then the nanny brought it into the house and everyone else got it two weeks later. Weird.

 

Me too. My youngest got it and gave it to my wife and I. My two eldest have not (and they have been training and playing basketball throughout covid in several states, only wearing masks when mandated).

My mom just came down with it yesterday...

 

I know several people who never tested positive despite having multiple people sick with COVID and testing positive in their same households. Yet, despite never testing positive, some of those people have antibodies in their blood (the blood is tested when donating blood).

Viral load clearly plays into test results. Some people never show symptoms. While I believe folks that say they've never tested positive or shown/felt symptoms, at this point, I'd have a hard time believing anyone who says they haven't had it. Unless they're full recluse and haven't gone out at all. The second time I had it, I wouldn't have even known I had it, aside from a positive test I took when others around me had COVID (and the brain fog that followed a couple weeks later).

From the friend or two I have that are tied to virology programs, COVID has actually caused a fairly significant paradigm shift in studies and hypotheses related to viruses (and all sorts of other illnesses). There are some fairly significant medical breakthroughs coming from the COVID epidemic.

 

All I know is I don't want it again! Lol. I was the last to get it in my family and had the longest symptoms. My daughter was only sick for like a day with symptoms. She bounced back so fast and we were scared it would affect her worse because of her health complications.

 

First time I had it, it sucked. That was a month before it was even a thing here in the US and things shut down. I just thought it was like the worst headache I’d ever had (and for three days).

Second time, no big deal aside from testing positive for two full weeks.

 

Maybe the 2nd time you upped your Riesling intake and it kicked Covids ass.

 

yeah I’ve been around it with people who had it. Hugged people who had it. Had long conversations close to people who have had it. But I’ve never got it.

I gave my aunt a long hug and talked to her for a long time in close proximity at my wedding. Her and her husband tested positive the next day and I was spared.

So who knows?

 

speedy recovery...sucks you got the crunge....I've yet to get it but I'm a hermit.

 

upped something anyhow…

 

It was the cocaine intake.

(Kidding. Or am I?)

 

Vaxxed, wear a mask, work from home, never got it.

 

That sucks for you my man.

Yeah I think my genes are too strong for this disease. I’ve tried to catch it but no luck

 

You've probably had it but don't realize it.

I'm thinking that's what happened to me.

Who knows.

 

Same, same, same, same

 

Yeah it's called an immune system.

It works whether you notice it or not.
