I have not had it yet (nor has my husband)
I am attending a tradeshow this weekend in Washington DC and another next weekend in Minneapolis so we will see if my luck holds out or not.
I could not attend our last tradeshow in Vegas (last month) because it was too soon after my knee surgery - 3 of the 4 that worked our booth all came home with COVID so I'm really glad I missed out on that show.

SO and I have not. My DS who lives at home has had it twice. He is a college student and works in the bar biz though, so I'm not surprised.

I have one kid who has not had it. My other kids, myself, and DH have all had it (one kid had it twice). One DS didn't get it, even though his gf got it. Another DS had it, but his gf did not get it. My friend's DH had it, so she was testing at home daily - persistent negative. She went and got a PCR - positive. She never had a single symptom. We live in close quarters, take the subway, and work (or study) at in-person schools/colleges. Whatcha gonna do.

So far so good. I have never been tested or had any symptoms.

My DH and I have not had it. I haven't even had a cold since September 2019.

I have not had it and I work in a high school. I've only had one cold in the last several years - since well before Covid started- and I caught that at a big anniversary party where no one was being very careful last November. I thought it was Covid but I tested negative a few times during the time I was sick.

I am just going to say I have not been denied entrance into the nursing home to visit my husband. I wear a N95 mask and stay home otherwise. Have groceries delivered. I did have to go to clinic yesterday but again, wore my mask.

I haven’t. I have been suspicious and have tested multiple time but so far, have been able to avoid it.

I haven't. But I've been pretty careful being immune compromised. I still wear a mask out of the house, including at work every time I move away from my desk.

DH and I haven't had it - that we know of. We've not been sick or tested positive. We wondered if we had it back in January 2020 - that was the last time we had really bad chest colds. But that was before it was even acknowledged in the US.
We are both vaxed and boosted and don't go many places other than work. Just recently we were both exposed and still did not test positive. Two of our adult children have had it but our adult son hasn't.

My family of 3 hasn't had it yet. I suspect I will get it when I go to a wedding in Colorado next week (I'll be on a plane and then with less than careful family members) so I'm gearing up on the plane (N95 mask) and will wear my KN95 mask at the wedding and if we go out and about.

Hoping not to jinx things. DH was exposed on Monday and testing daily last time he was exposed he never got it so hoping to get lucky. So far none of us have gotten it. We did get something in December 2019 that was nasty and the boys got something in February of 2020. That’s the last time any of us was sick with anything other than allergies my husband has tested at least once a week since they started testing at his work.
I’m kind of happy that my husband’s work may be going mostly remote again. Numbers are going up here but that’s not why not sure why as they were do insistent a year ago but it will save on gas and time - electric bill will go up but probably less than gas with current prices.

DH and I have not had it, although have had close exposure once. Our dd and her DH both got it at a work event a couple months ago. FIL lives in memory care but has not had it. MIL is very active in her senior living complex, has not had. My sister and her DH had it, my brother and wife have not. My DH lost cousin to Covid, and has had other cousins hospitalized.

Nope. Not me, not my husband, not my elderly mother, not two of my kids.

I haven't although I do feel it is inevitable. Of the 7 of us in our home only 2 have had it.

Knock on wood I have never tested positive for it, but I still mask in stores and at work since I am around kids who are just starting to get vaccinated. Uo until June 10th we were required to be masked at school.

Neither DH or I has had it, to our knowledge. Suspected it a few times but tested negative each time. I currently have a summer cold/congestion and sore throat. I tested negative with a home test on Monday and just got a PCR test at my doctor's office yesterday (was there already for a separate issue) & awaiting results. My symptoms are pretty mild, with no fever so I suspect it's just a cold, but it was enough to take another test just in case. And also because I had been traveling. I remained masked both in the airports and on all flights but there was a woman hacking away sitting in the row ahead of me on the last leg of my flight home a week ago...ugh. So if this is COVID, I'm blaming her, LOL. Test was negative, so you can count me among those who still have not had COVID.

I haven't but I do not leave my house unless absolutely necessary. Like annual doctor appointment or to get a booster.

Neither DH nor I have had it. I was really sick with a horrible cough for most of June, and repeatedly tested negative. Also neg for flu, strep, and whooping cough. I've been traveling, eating in restaurants, and attending weddings and such ever since I was vaxxed and now twice boostered. I wear a mask when the numbers go up here, but they've been pretty low for a while now.
I may have jinxed myself even starting this post -- DD just texted me that she's positive for covid and she was visiting here until Tuesday evening. This is her second round, even though she's vaxxed and boostered -- thankfully she just has mild cold symptoms.

Me and my two sons have not had it. My DH and my daughter have. We thought my son had it about a month ago and made him go to the doctor to get tested - it turned out he had mono!

As far as I know, neither dh nor I have had it, but the rest of the editorial team has, except for one other reporter, so whenever they and dh spot each other they both gesture I’ve-got-my-eyes-on-you 😂 and they’re careful to stay well apart.
Our yds flats with four others, each has their own room and three have en-suites. He’s had to isolate and test as a close contact twice (the same flatmate had Covid both times plus the second time one of the others tested positive a couple of days later) but so far he’s had no symptoms and continued to test negative. He has bronchial asthma so he’s the one in our family I worry about the most but he’s careful and responsible, and fully vaccinated (both doses plus a booster, all Pfizer) so I’m cautiously optimistic he’ll be ok.

I haven't and I work in preschool! My brother got it bad pretty early on and I started taking many precautions because I do not want what he's still having.

I haven’t. Neither has my best friend although her ex husband had it last week and was over at her place fixing some stuff. Her and I both tested three time and all three were negative. I’m no longer masking, but am social distancing still. We figure it’s just a matter of time before one of us gets it.

I have thought I might have a mild case a few times but always tested negative. The only time I took a PCR test was when my mom and sisters got it. Nope, still COVID-free here. And trying to keep it that way.

Me. I had to take a test prior to a colonoscopy and one because I was exposed. Negative.

Knock on wood I have not had it and I still get tested at work regularly so 99.9% I have never had it. Same for my 13 year old.
