I work in a nursing home. I’ve been tested more times than I could even count, exposed many times including a cough in my face from a positive person. Vaccinated in December 2020, Jan 2021 and boosted once in September not yet eligible for second booster and I’ve never had covid. I’m feeling like a weirdo!

Haven't had it. Have tested 4 times. Just allergies or sinus infection.

Yep, I've been exposed/tested 5-6 times and never came up positive, but last month, DH came home with it from work. Based on the timing, (he sleeps with a CPAP and worked late the two dayd before--Easter weekend), I was exposed to him about an hour before he was notified. His co-worker knew the day before, but didn't notify the office until almost noon the next day. Six days later, I tested positive.
In some ways I'm glad that we both got it and now have some immunity for a month or two. The Omicron variant has been circulating here and I can't believe that we didn't get it before now. We've both had several doctor's appointments at Landstuhl (US military hospital in Germany) and cases in Germany have been through the roof this spring. We should get the 2nd boosters here by the time we are vulnerable again, so hopefully we will be good to go until the 3rd booster becomes available.

I am sure I has it at Christmas but couldn’t get tested as it was the day before my province stopped routine testing…..

In my family of 4 - only my son has had it. He got it from his pizzeria job - where they ALL got it in the same 2 week period. I work from home, and was VERY careful before I got vaccinated. Since then, I'm not as cautious. I go to outdoor arena events, fairs, etc. DD did start in-person school in September, and was exposed several times, but she's never tested positive. BUT, my mother, father, nephew, and sister have all gotten it. On my husband's side, all 5 of his siblings, their spouses and all their kids have gotten it.

I tested positive in January 2021. Cases were high in our area at the time and it still drives DH nuts that he doesn't know exactly where/how he was exposed, but he was the first sick and had infected DS and I before we knew to isolate him. DD managed to avoid getting it.
She did test in April 2022 because of not feeling well and being exposed, but tested negative.

Probably, way back in March 2020 before testing. I got something viral from work, with post-viral syndrome relieved 18 months later by my 3rd Covid vaccine, so almost certainly it was Covid. DH had it in March, a week after Boris stopped masks being mandatory and DH's company ordered everybody back into the office with no masks unless you tested positive. So having been super-careful and staying Covid-free for 2 years, he caught it along with 40 other people - about 25% of the staff there.

No I haven’t. I’ve been tested weekly at work since the pandemic started. I haven’t had any sickness at all these past few years. Not a fever, cold, runny nose. Nothing.

haven't had it and am reasonably confident of that - the one time DH and I had possible symptoms - we tested negative (not the rapid test, the lab one). DD has been tested fairly often with both rapid and lab tests - either because she had possible symptoms (she's an allergy kid) or because her GS troop is covid-cautious and requires a negative test before meetings/events. She's always been negative.
As far as I know the older two haven't had it either - DD's never been tested but also hasn't been sick. DS has had regular tests through work.
We're all vaxxed - some of us are boosted. DD15 and I are still masking diligently, I'm not sure DH masks anymore unless he's with me....

I think I had it in February 2020; as someone who is rarely sick and when sick rarely for more than a day, I was super sick for a week and still felt weak and lousy for a couple weeks afterwards. My husband also got sick and developed unexplained heart problems; my oldest had enough trouble breathing that we took them to an e/r, but, at the time, they did not test without a known exposure (they tested negative for flu and strep).
Anyhow, I obviously don’t actually know.

Why isn't "No" an option?
My vote would be NO

Only my 19 yr. old daughter got covid. She got it Nov. 2020, before vaccines and she got it at school. They would not let the kids eat lunch in their car, and the only time without masks is at lunch. She got it from the girl who sits next to her who got it at a nursing home she wonrks at.
My husband believes every sniffle he has is covid, so according to him, he has had it 4 times. But never tested positive for it.
I have never even been tested, but as far as I know have never had it. I was vaccinated and boosted and wear a mask. I also don't work, and easily avoid people/gatherings.

I'm pretty sure we haven't had it. Managed to avoid the family members who did get it. There's been a few times where we thought it was possible but no symptoms and a few negative tests so far. I'm going with we haven't gotten it or we were asymptomatic.
Before my kid left for basic, he was exposed and had to have a negative test before he could leave. The delay in getting the results pushed his dates back. I'm still pissed at ex for that. Prior to that he had tested negative at least three times because of exposure in a grocery store.

Yes, in January. I was vaccinated and had one booster. I had been exposed a few months prior when dd had it but she had Delta symptoms, while my symptoms were more like Omnicron. Dh meanwhile also vaccinated with one booster never got it when either of us had it.

Vaccinated and boostered. I tested positive last week. I assume I got it from my boyfriend (also vaxxed and boostered) who tested positive four days before I did. It was going around the office he works in.

Why isn't "No" an option? My vote would be NO Because unless you have been testing consistently for the past 2+ years you don't know definitively you didn't have it. You could have been asymptomatic.

I feel like I am living on borrowed time. I rarely get sick, but I thought this one might get me. When I started working in a school again, I was sure I'd get it. My husband worked at a college and in a gym and hasn't gotten it either. I think we're either lucky or asymptomatic.

Neither DH nor I have tested positive for Covid. Both of us have been testing regularly for about the past year, due to work requirements. I haven't have any symptoms, except for runny nose and sore throat, but it is also peak allergy season here, so I am guessing that's my real problem. DH spiked a fever two weeks ago, and had a bad cough, but also kept testing negative. One of his doctors has taken blood for him to have an antibody test to see if he has possibly had an unidentified case.

Double vaxed and boosted by October of last year. Covid positive in January. Still have a cough and sinus issues from it. I am also immune compromised.

I tested consistently as has my husband because I was going through medical treatment. I still rarely leave the house and mask regularly. I feel pretty confident neither of us have had COVID.

I don't think so, but I could have been asymptomatic. I haven't been sick in two years. DH has been exposed a couple times, but never got sick or tested positive.

Nope. Never been tested, never had a sniffle. None in my immediate family have, and we are all in very public professions and around a lot of people. Praying it stays that way.

On my second bout. I have been vaxxed, boosted 2x, and had monoclonal antibodies last time. I'm pretty p*ssed at all the morons who wouldn't get vaccinated and allowed this to mutate.
