Yes, 83 years old. Had Pfizer and 3 boosters, Mid February it came with mild onset = gone in 3-4 days. Antigen profile showed I had had it Then I got an omicron booster about 10 weeks later - nothing since, but I mask in crowds.

Unvaccinated, never had any symptoms (actually, haven't been sick at all since covid, really strange), was working in public with lots of contact for the entire period before the vaccines were released. I never got tested for antibodies.

Mostly the same for me (without lots of public contact).

There are people who've only caught covid once? Everybody I know's had it multiple times.

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.

I vaccinated and got boosted once.

Been in giant festivals, meetups etc. Still haven't caught it. I can't tell if my luck just hasn't run out, or if I had an asymptomatic case.

Lot's of friends who hadn't had it yet have gotten it recently, so I am very confused.

no.

vaxed with all boosters, work from home, don't go out much, regular testing and all negative and no symptoms. When I did go out, I'd mask and distance. Now, easing up on that but still avoiding crowded areas and places. I have asthma so I've been as reasonably cautious as possible.

Not that I'm aware of for neither my wife nor I. I've been working from home and I always mask up when I leave the house, my wife worked in the patient facing part of the medical field (including long duration close contact with paatients), but she always masked up and neither of us have had symptoms matching COVID. Outside of the usual allergies I've been remarkably healthy.

Never, as far as I know. All the vaccines and lots of masking, even still. But I can only attribute it to luck, since I've traveled quite a bit and even had some known exposures at different times, like at the gym. But I also work mainly remote and avoided public areas almost entirely, pre-vaccine and during the peaks of some waves. I worked out in a mask for months- awful.
