Have you had COVID

[mofongo]

Simple yes or no. I don’t want to hear how you think you had it but test was neg, don’t want to hear how you had the worst illness of your life in Dec of 2019 and you think that was covid.

This is if you’ve had actual, factual covid. Just wondering what the % looks like from our sample size of women from all over.

[starburst604]

Yes, twice.

ETA the dates: December 2020 and December 2021.

OMG:( sorry!

[TR]

Lol you know how this is going to go. But I commend the effort.

ETA: I am a simple no, not that I know of or have even suspected.

[sproctopus]

I have it now. I don't feel good and I'm out of butter.

Hope you feel better soon! Sorry about the butter:( A true crisis!

[pinkdutchtulips]

Miss R had it late Feb 2021, I got it a week later

[chilerellanos]

Yes. April 2020.

[jinkies]

No.

My H and son had it last year. We isolated them in the house and DD and I never got it. I actually think that DS might have just had it again based on symptoms, but he never tested positive. No one else had symptoms, and we didn't bother isolating him so maybe he just had a 3 day migraine? IDK.

[wildrice]

But I really do think I may have had it in January 2020.... lol j/k.

I voted no, but I'm starting to feel like the minority. Tons of friends and family have. Thankfully, everyone I have a first degree connection with has fully recovered.

[letsgetweird]

Yes, in November 2020.

[icedcoffee]

Shockingly not, but a kid in DS1’s class tested positive this week so ask me again next weekend. 😝 This is probably the closest we’ve been to an exposure.

[maudefindlay]

I'm also a no, not that I know of. 3 of 5 of us in our house have never had a Covid test. The 2 who did test were negative.

[kaneen]

No

[thebreakfastclub]

My husband is a no, I'm a no, and my 3rd grader is a no. We have not felt the need to even test.

[HRH Queen Dick I, Orphan]

No stories, no smugness. Just yes or no.👏👏

I don’t understand this. Does the kid go to school? Do you go to work? Do you go to the grocery store? In the last two years you’ve literally never, not once, had the slightest hint of congestion, headache, stomach ache or any other symptom that has caused you to feel even slightly off?

Even without symptoms of any kind, we have tested out of precaution before seeing someone, traveling, after a weekend where we could have been exposed, after receiving notification of being a close contact, etc. It’s hard for me to fathom a scenario in which I would never feel the need to test.

[elefun]

No, and no one in my immediate family I comingle with either

Right? Am I the only one that has drunk tested?? Just b/c?

[agnes]

I have not.

H had it this month and lucky enough I didn’t get it.

[goldengirlz]

No. But at this point, everyone I know either has it or had it within the last couple of weeks. So.

[shamrockshake]

No and I don’t know how. I feel like people are being picked off left and right. Two of my daughters had it, at different times and neither time did any of the other 5 people in the house get it. And we tested all of us multiple times during when they were sick

[blondemoment123]

Yes.

Red state, maybe? I agree though. It feels like so many activities have required testing here as a matter of course (especially before vaccines.)

ETA: I haven’t had so much as a runny nose since January 2020 so I believe that.

Honestly, my H has only tested once and that was in Cancun so that he could return to the US. He's had mild illness symptoms a handful of times, but nothing that developed into anything major and he works from home 100% so he isn't around anyone and can do the "wait to see if this develops into anything before testing" game.

I've been tested a bunch of times for work and medical stuff, but only twice ever because I actually had symptoms. We have been pretty lucky, and also have just been home a whole lot in the last 2 years. We also have never had a known exposure, believe it or not!

I don't really know how that would have been possible with a kid in school, though! 

[expectantsteelerfan]

No one in my immediate family has had it. We've all tested several times for cold symptoms/seeing people/close contact, but somehow we've all escaped it so far if the tests are to be believed (and when I had a cough I tested every other day for like 1.5 weeks and all were negative).

[turkletsmom]

Yes- January 2021

[penguingrrl]

Yes, my whole household has gotten it in the past two weeks. I’m out of isolation as of today.

The only time I’ve been required to test is for our trip to Iceland and obviously plenty of people have chosen not to travel internationally. Nothing around here (Colorado, blue-ish state) requires testing. But I really don’t understand how you don’t feel compelled to test on your own at any point since March 2020. My family has had colds in that time. We’ve tested every time. Both kids have had positives in their classrooms in the last 3-4 months. We’ve tested them. We got together with family for thanksgiving and Christmas. We tested before seeing anyone (and after). It just doesn’t make sense to me unless you don’t ever leave your house, do work and school from home, and order groceries for delivery.

We have used dozens of rapid tests over the last two years.

[spindle92]

I guess following directions is hard.
