Just curious and I hope everyone can get vaccinated soon.

I can confidently say that no I didn't get it. Also, I don't know anyone personally who did get it.

No. Confident.
1 friend and 1 family member got it and both were/are super careful. The non mask wearing idiots got them in December when the new variants were rapidly spreading.

No and am confident.
I personally know 3 men who have died from COVID and personally know at least 20 who had it, including my daughter and SIL. Dh and I were fairly careful thru the quarantine, wore masks when outside the house, but still went out to the grocery store and even traveled out of state once and neither of us got it.
We live in northeast Louisiana.

I chose no I don’t think so but we did get sick last Christmas and hubby and son got sick in February. A person my husband works with tested for antibodies and the only time he could think he was sick was in February when crud was going around the office. So no idea.

I selected no I don't think so but I was sicker than a dog Christmas 2019 and had some of the symptoms. Some people think it hit CA before we knew anything about it.

I knew a few people who had it (mildly) but we were never in contact with them.

Yes, tested positive at the beginning of January. Got my first vax on Wednesday to be on safe side so no repeat performance. Once was enough! I figure I have some pretty turbo charged antibodies right now.

I had a lot of the symptoms (including a particularly terrible cough) the first week of March 2020. But that was very early on and at this point there is really no way to know. It could also have been just a very bad cold.
I am fairly confident I have not had it since then.

Yes- confirmed by a test last month. I was the first, but DH & our two teens also tested positive a week later. Theirs was just a bad cold, only our 13yo had a fever for just one evening. I had it the "worst" because I had a low fever for a couple of days, but otherwise it was a bad cold. I was more tired than normal, but I was also isolating in our bedroom & had nothing to do but lay in bed & watch TV.

DH and I both tested positive the week of Thanksgiving. Thankfully, we had mild cases compared to others.
We got our first vaccines last Friday.
I still have about 90% loss of taste and smell.

No, I was exposed but tested negative even though some light respiratory symptoms were present, I'm pretty sure I didn't get it, and no one in my household.
I know over 40 people in my area who have had it - a mix of family, friends and colleagues. The first 12 had no idea they had it in Mar/Apr and then spread it. A couple young coworkers got it over the summer doing outdoor activities with friends, and then some people were careless in December and 2 larger outbreaks happened.
I know 6 who passed away. The ones who passed in March/April were so quick I didn't even know they had it until they passed. The one in July lingered for a long time on a ventilator.
And my uncle in law got sick late November, looked like he had recovered in January and was about to come off the ventilator, and then relapsed and died a slow death in February. His wife also had it but was not hospitalized. They had both just retired in 2019 - they sold us both our houses.

My son and I got it in December. We don’t know where we picked it up - we tried to be careful; always wear a mask, didn’t really go anywhere. It will be one of life’s little mysteries. I am still dealing with issues - heart related. I know a lot of people who tested positive. Now I’m curious so I’ll be trying to count them in my head this evening

I chose No - I don't think so. I haven't had any symptoms, but many people don't. Unless you've been tested how would you know for certain?
My husband works at a college (in person classes) and at a gym as a personal trainer. He's had clients have Covid. He could have brought it home. I haven't been sick in over a dozen years, so I kind of thought this one might get me.

Nope. I've stayed in my house, had a super small bubble with only my parents. Curbside everything I can. Manage in store visits to as few as possible and usually when they first open to minimize contact. Working from home.
I've known a hand full of people who have had it, and honestly, all because of bad choices they made.

Yes, my husband and I had it last March. My brother and sister in law and many of our friends went to a big party on Feb 27, 2019 which our state’s health department later labeled as “ground zero” for the spread of covid in my state. Two days after the party, we went to a big wedding. Many of the people who had attended the party two nights’ earlier also attended the wedding.
A few days’ after the wedding, I went to the doctor with what I thought was a sinus infection. My best friend (who had attended the wedding) and my sister in law (who attended the wedding and the party) both told me they had lost their sense of taste and smell. (No one knew at the time loss of taste and smell was a symptom of covid).
My husband became really sick. I began to get suspicious he had covid and that I may have had it too. He saw his doctor twice and he went to the emergency room once. He kept being told that he probably just had a bad sinus infection. The doctors kept saying he probably didn’t have covid because it wasn’t in our state yet. Furthermore, there were no covid tests available at the time in our state. It was awful. He had active symptoms for a full month. One night when we thought he was on the road to recovery, he just passed out while sitting in a chair watching tv.
Finally, last August we gave blood and it was confirmed that we both had covid antibodies. My husband’s antibody count was so high that he donated plasma several times.

No COVD. Completely vaccinated. We will still be cautious about where we go and will still wear masks.

I don't think so. I think I had the flu last March, but my o2 level was pretty low for a couple of days, like low 80s, so maybe

Well since this is not over, I am going with I hope not. I have been doing everything I am supposed to do. Please let me get to other side unscathed. That includes my family. ETA: One of my co-workers (in another dept) died from it about 5 weeks a go.

Yes, we even started wearing masks March 13, but all tested positive on January 2nd, except DD DBF who had been SIP with us since March 7. Since it's mentioned often, we are all A blood types, the DBF is O. We know DH was patient zero. He was the only one in his office of 17 wearing a mask, and had cold like symptoms about 5 days before DS, DD and I all lost our sense of taste and smell. Twelve of the 17 people in DH office tested positive, one was minutes from being put on a ventilator. DH is still the only person in his office that wears a mask, and is actually bullied ("just busting your balls") for wearing it. DH is still dealing with fluid in his ears, foul phantom smells and brain fog, the kids and I only have about 50% of our taste and smell back, fatigue, brain fog and cluster headaches. I have an irritating feeling on my back and shoulders that feels like a scratchy tag or seam, but there is nothing there.

I got sick pretty early on before tests were available so I can't say either way. I'm going about acting as if I didn't, though, to be on the safe side.

Yes, I think dd and dh had it in late January. They were both very ill. Also much of the schools had kids and staff out with pneumonia.

No. The first store I've been to in over a year was a drugstore in order to get my first shot. Dh and I both stay home. I curbside pickup everything and dh only goes to the store once in a while in the early am's when no one is around.

Yes, confirmed with tests late January 2021. DH came home with it, likely picked up in downtown San Diego but we don't know for sure because he is out and about a fair bit with his job. But he has been out and about since the first Stay Home orders last year and he is really pissed and feels he let his guard down. He wasn't feeling great for a few days and exposed me (we sleep together ) and DS (they spent time running errands, so in close quarters in the truck) before realizing it wasn't just "end of a busy week tired" and feeling sick enough to quarantine in the house and get tested. Once we knew he was positive, everyone else got tested. Masking, cleaning and social distancing helped keep DD healthy and she looked after us for the week or so that we all quarantined/isolated at home. We will all get vaccinated.

Yes suspected, younger DS and DH tested positive in Nov. Then my other two sons got sick and lost their sense of taste and smell but didn't get tested. One of them later tested positive for antibodies.
My covid test was negative but I had pneumonia for two months and now have an irregular heartbeat that my cardiologist thinks was caused by covid. My SIL who also had covid has developed the same type of irregular heartbeat.
However, I will never be sure because I wasn't tested for antibodies and am now vaccinated

No, fairly confident. I know 4 people who had it, and 2 of them were hospitalized and died.

No, and no one in my household has.
Extended family: on DH’s side, I don’t believe anyone has had it. On my side, I have a brother and his fiancée who tested positive and had mild cases, and a couple of sisters who are “convinced” they had it, but didn’t get tested. They were also “convinced” they had it twice before, and never had antibodies, so...
I don’t know anyone that was hospitalized with it or died from it, luckily.

No I did not. And I don’t have any family members who did. I’m surprised my daughter did not-college student in a house with 5 others-all got it and her boyfriend. She’s one of the only students she knows who didn’t get and she is now vaccinated. She’s been tested for the antibodies but was negative.

Yes, confident. Entire family of 5 got it back at the beginning of December 2020. We are all essential frontline workers except DD who is doing hybrid school when it isn't shut down. Oldest DS brought it home from work where they had an outbreak and spread it to us all and his GF before he knew he had it. We all got tested and tested positive. I also had been being as careful as I could possibly be with having to work outside the home still.
In December about 15 family members and friends got it as well, not from each other, mostly from work unfortunately and then from home. I also lost a close family member on Christmas eve to it. Since then several more family members have tested positive and 1 has passed away.
3-4 months later I am still dealing with headaches, brain fog, severe fatigue and muscle pain. I'm getting the vaccine next week and couldn't be happier. Never wanna go through that crud again!

I put yes suspected. I’m in California and my son, then husband, then me got so sick mid December 2019. Massive headache, weak, fever, sweaty, weird crazy dreams. I was so tired and my brain was so foggy for several months after. For the past year I’ve been diligent about masking and hand washing. I would never want to feel that way again.
