Poll: Have You Caught Covid?

Re: Poll: Have You Caught Covid?
#32We caught it for the first time a week ago (my entire family). Theoretically I was patient zero, but the preceding week I had only left the house once, which was go to to a doctor appointment where I wore a n95 mask (and the rest of the office was masked as well.)
Very frustrating.
Re: Poll: Have You Caught Covid?
#33I selected the last option but you don't have one for me: never had symptoms and never got tested. Got vaccinated though.
Re: Poll: Have You Caught Covid?
#34Is there any way to tell, after having had a vaccination? I got unusually sick in February of 2020; felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Went to the hospital, and there were so many people there with the same symptoms we were a line past the ER and down the hallway. No one was thinking covid at the time. I remember the nurse checking me in asking if I'd had the flu shot (I had), then shrugging and guessing it must not…
I'm vaccinated and boosted (but never got the Omicron booster this fall). On day 6 of my first COVID-positive infection and while I never lost my sense of smell, I had a super high fever (104ºF-ish) and awful headache for 2-3 days, and have been having intermittent brain fog and fatigue and a cough since then but feel 65%-95% recovered at any given moment.
I also just finished my round of Paxlovid, which feels like it may have reduced my recovery time slightly, at the cost of an _awful_ constant metallic taste in my mouth and mild but increasing gastrointestinal upset.

#35No vax. No masking. No precautions. Never caught it, never had any symptoms.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Zero times here (: I make all of my own meals and always wear a mask out. I interact with old people so there's no room for me to act like a child about health anymore. I can't really fault the people who are vaxxed and choose not to mask up anymore. So many people are refusing vaccinations that we will never see the end of this disease.
Plenty of people who got the covid were taking similar precautions. It's pretty infectious!
I would 100% have caught it at least once if I was doing service work. I'm lucky to never have to be in proximity of others for work
Re: Poll: Have You Caught Covid?
#37Not that I know of, nor did anyone in my family. Got the original vaccine when it came out, and then a booster in early Jan (so the original booster, not the bivalent one). I stopped with the masks altogether back in the spring (with the exception of the dr's office), and was only nominally doing it before that.
I had mild cold symptoms once that I thought could be omicron, but the home test came back negative. Kids have been sick occasionally but negative for them any time we tested too.

Not in my case. Been using the best masks I can get my hands on (KN95 from late summer 2020, switching to N95 last spring when those started to become available. Surgical and cloth masks have basically been cosplay since at least delta.

#39A month ago, I got the same symptoms I got after getting vaxed (I got AstraZeneca, Biontech, and Moderna) just a bit more intense. Only took like 4 days and it was gone.
Did some tests but never got a positive result.
Re: Poll: Have You Caught Covid?
#40I got it in June this year for the first time. (It must have been when I was at work as this was a period where I did little other than wake up and go to work.)
I'm still masking and even wearing gloves and otherwise taking any/all precautions to not get it again. The anti-vax around me seem to have all gotten it multiple times. (They would likely report they never had it despite whether or not they owned up to it at the time they were sick.)
