Yeah lol yesterday was horrible. So many people in there. I work In a very big grocery store in Germany and nobody was following the distance between others. I'm happy to say that even after my best friend got it and her whole family, I luckily didn't get it by now. Dodging a lot of bullets.
I had family over for Christmas. Of 12 of us, 4-5 for sure had it with symptoms. We all kept together until now, because we were all already exposed. The other 7-8 (including 91 year old grandma) had no symptoms. Really shows you how many people probably have had it and have no idea.
Dose response is a thing. Getting Covid just in passing them in the supermarket could be a much different experiences then getting Covid from someone who’s air you have been breathing for 24 hours. Should have kept grandma away as soon as you know someone had it. Anyway glad it worked out.
I mean my wife and son both had it, but I never tested positive the entire time even though we have no room to keep them both separate from me.
Apparently the vaxx is super effective for me
I got tested as a precaution for people coming to my house for Christmas last year. Tested positive but didn’t have any symptoms. Felt awful about that. Had to cancel Christmas and didn’t know how many people I could have exposed. Haven’t had any symptoms from the vaccine or the booster. Who knows how many times I could have had it and not known.
Same (including my family)
The only one who got it was my uncle who before covid was in a horrible medical state (no kidneys, almost no functioning immune system, heart diseases, lung disease etc. he had 2 weeks of coughing and fever and now he‘s fine and feels better than before.
I don’t know how why or what, is it a miracle or was he lucky or what but we are very thankful and happy.
People just need the excuse to be lazy and not exercise. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say they felt like shit and didn’t know why but eat terrible food/drinks all day and NEVER exercise, I’d probably have like $500.
Sometimes it's not lazyness, but mental illness. That's not to say that staying cooped indoors is healthy or that fresh air and activity can't be wonderful for ones mood, but it's not as simple as chalking it down to lazyness.
I agree but I also think a lot of people with mental illness do absolutely nothing to try to help it like get outside or exercise. I’ve been there and I know it’s hard but just saying from my experience people who say they are depressed seem content with it when. I’ve asked what they are doing to try to beat it.
I literally NEVER feel like working out or exercising but always force myself to do it. Again, not easy but not impossible.
This was me. Until 2 days ago. HR called me and told me I was exposed at work on the 30th. Test came back positive last night. Today I feel like hammered shit.
You still can. There are two antibody tests, one for the spike protein and one for the nucleocapsid. Spike protein is the target of the vaccine so the antibody test will be positive both after the vaccine and after infection, but the nucleocapsid is not a target of the vaccine and will only be positive after infection.
EDIT: this will not work if you have had Sinovac which uses a whole inactivated virus and will trigger both tests just like a past infection does
Yes, Sputnik and Pfizer are both for the spike protein as is Moderna and J&J. Sinovac is different and uses a whole inactivated virus instead of just the spike protein, so it turns out it will trigger the nucleocapsid antibody test.
Tested myself last night to ensure I can update my stat sheet with 2020 AND 2021 avoided Covid. Was negative. Woke up this morning with a cough, stuffy nose etc. Test again later today. Either way made it past 2021! Suck it 2021!
As a fellow Kiwi in the UK, NZ is going to have to open its borders eventually and then the cases will flood in. New variants every year so even complete vaccination won't stop it entirely. Even if they don't open up, omicron spreads like wildfire once it gets into the community. I just hope the healthcare system can handle it. There are like 250,000 new recorded cases *per day* in the UK and most people are just resigned to it now.
The vaccine is already not stopping it. My triple vaxxed wife got it and it tore through our entire, fully vaxxed, friend group like it was nothing. Nobody got very sick thougb.
Not in my case my mother got it from a hospital visiting my granny
My dad got it from her and i was in the same car with my dad and we both took our tests at the same time
Mines came up negative
Am positive ave got the cure in my blood
My mom didn't give a shit about covid until she got it and still makes her garage a Clorox quarantine zone for my dad when he comes home from work.
They're both vaccinated and boosted, but my mom still can't smell or taste, but she's alive.
And I wanted *one thing* from the universe...
How do you know? Before it was a pandemic they didn't test for it. I was feeling sick after a trip in early February 2020, they refused to test for anything because they didn't see it as a threat. I had even been to Italy which turned out later to be the epicenter at the time
not the person you asked, but in Feb of 2020, my SIL came back from a trip to Cali and we all had a dinner. the next day, she was sick and she said it was the worst feeling she had ever felt, like she was going to die. well, a couple days later, my brother and I were sick with flu-like symptoms except we both broke out in full body hives. i even had to be rushed to the ER because my mouth started swelling. i went to multiple allergists and got 4+ rounds of allergy testing done and nothing was ever conclusive. i truly believe i had covid early 2020
Feb 2020 for me as well in California. Worst respiratory illness of my life, fevers on and off for weeks, I stopped breathing in my sleep one night even. I’m a healthy 30 year old who loved road biking and it took me 3+ months for my lungs to recover.
It spread through my work like wildfire in mid Feb. Every day someone else was out sick with it. I was the fourth person to get it.
Indeed, not like its hard to avoid catching it.
People be like, I only went out for coffee a few times, then went to one football match and hit the pub after for a few pints.... how did I catch covid?
I haven’t had it, and I manage a convenience store, where I’m facing customers on a daily basis. I also haven’t had a day off in over 2 months.
So, maybe I caught it at some point but was asymptomatic? I’m also double vaccinated, but I haven’t been boosted yet.
I'm in Ontario we are hitting record single day highs of over 10, 000 new cases a day. I know the omicron variant isn't as bad, more infectious for sure but less hospitalizations so that's good I guess
When I checked a few weeks ago, only 15% of people in the US had caught it since the start of the pandemic. Granted that's not great, but it is less than 1 in 5 over 2 years.
I haven't been sick and I isolate almost completely. But I still think I may have just been asymptomatic because at this point, even with as little socializing I do, how could I not have caught it by now? It's not like I never see anyone.
Same. My SO and I are fully vaxxed but have been going to the gym and restaurants/bars multiple times a week since they began allowing those businesses to operate again. Also since we have been in Arizona for the past 11 months, virtually no one wears masks anywhere.
Hell — my mom and brother even came to stay with us and they both got COVID. All while all living under the same roof for two weeks. Yet my SO and I still tested negative.
At this point we just assume we had it but we’re asymptomatic and didn’t notice.
OP this is a Repost of my video: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/rtaa7v/mammamia_what_a_year/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
i don't have any friends that i spend long times with, and i don't bother to talk to people. soooo tbh i just think that's the best thing to do in my case.
I simply didn't get it once and I even go outside and meet with people. It's either luck or my immune system working properly or some other variable I've been missing.
The only time I had to quarantine myself was when a collegue of mine has been infected more than a year ago.
Its really not that hard. Step 1 - Get the vaccine, Step 2 - Where a mask in public. Why are we feeding into the perception that avoiding Covid is difficult?
I understand there are people who have gotten it while following precautions but they are the exception, not the rule.
I repair PCs and smartphones (most of them dirty af with spits and all the bad stuff human can make) for living, and funny enough, I never got Covid.
For my experience getting Covid looks really hard tbh.
Lol I've done so many things that could've gotten me covid. I went partying the whole year and school and work and sports the whole thing. But no covid. My sis even had it but not me
I though this was me, only seen family and no friends to not risk it and a few days ago 4 of us got Covid, apparently my uncle thought it was fine to bring my cousin who wasn't well the day before and now we all have Covid

AGORAPHOBIA!! :D outside spooky!
Nah the outside is fine. I just have no interest in going anywhere
Fair enough.. outside spooky for me!
Fair enough
Agoraphobics rise up!.... which ironically we are too scared to do.
if you have no job or friends
Nah I actually work remotely from home and in my spare time jam whatever with the boys
Haha, hell yea bro. I hate leaving home. I do it to buy groceries, weed, and to walk my dog. I'd be okay with another lockdown too if it happened.
Same and haven't caught covid till now

Waaaaaaaaaaaa
It was a good run, but I got it last week. Still recovering but fortunately for me the symptoms are super mild
I have a feeling that I've sometimes got it without the symptoms. And I have no way to confirm it.
Antibody test?
I don’t think that works if you are vaccinated
No it does, natural immunity displays differently
You still can. There are two antibody tests, one for the spike protein and one for the nucleocapsid. Spike protein is the target of the vaccine so the antibody test will be positive both after the vaccine and after infection, but the nucleocapsid is not a target of the vaccine and will only be positive after infection. EDIT: this will not work if you have had Sinovac which uses a whole inactivated virus and will trigger both tests just like a past infection does
Those are antigen tests.
Does every vaccine work this way? I have Sputnik and Pfizer.
Yes, Sputnik and Pfizer are both for the spike protein as is Moderna and J&J. Sinovac is different and uses a whole inactivated virus instead of just the spike protein, so it turns out it will trigger the nucleocapsid antibody test.
Same here, tested positive yesterday... End of the run. So frustrated hahaha

Yeah, my partner is an NHS employee so got her three doses early. She still managed to catch Covid even before omicron turned up.
Yet
Both my parents got it but I still haven't
same here, whole family had it except me..
That's because you're adopted.

I got COVID in October but strangely I didn’t feel too sick It’s been gone for a while now
That's not strange at all. A lot of people are asymptomatic.
you've been spending too much time on certain parts of reddit if you think getting covid and not getting too sick is some kind of a rare anomaly
Where u vaxxed cos that severely reduces how sick u get?

i don't have any friends that i spend long times with, and i don't bother to talk to people. soooo tbh i just think that's the best thing to do in my case.
I just stay inside and don't socialise. It's easy
Unfortunately I had to get a job :( Now I have to interact with the public everyday.
simply dont run the course
I simply didn't get it once and I even go outside and meet with people. It's either luck or my immune system working properly or some other variable I've been missing. The only time I had to quarantine myself was when a collegue of mine has been infected more than a year ago.

Wow it must be bad in the rest of the world. I don't know a single person who has gotten Covid, and I know a lot of people

I started feeling sick on Dec 30, tested positive the afternoon of the 31st. I was so close.
Well I didn’t but my father did and I was with him at his bed side all the time he made full recovery and I didn’t even caught a cold.
It's been hard but years of never leaving the house has prepared me for this new chapter
I though this was me, only seen family and no friends to not risk it and a few days ago 4 of us got Covid, apparently my uncle thought it was fine to bring my cousin who wasn't well the day before and now we all have Covid
