I work with the public and I didn't catch it until 2021. I felt slightly groggy for a day, and coughed a bit.
Felt fine the next day but tested positive
I felt like writing a strongly worded letter of complaint about false advertising but I didn't know who to send it to
I felt the same way when my initial symptoms cleared up in about a week.
Then I got Bell's palsy which lasted for about a month. That wasn't fun.
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that think they never got it, but just had zero (or almost zero) symptoms and just never knew.
My son was born 4 months before the pandemic. Because he went to daycare me and my wife always felt like we had a cold or something. I tested and tested and tested even more. For me it was also really late (at least 2021, maybe even later) that one was positive. The actual thing was so much more mild than all those flu's and colds we had before.
Depends I guess how you define "getting" something. We're constantly getting things, viruses and small infections, and having no idea about them. Especially if you're in a cubicle at work near somebody with young kids, oh meh gerd. I wouldn't want to know about everything my body is fighting off on a daily basis.
Were you vaccinated?
This isn't a snarky setup question either cause if you were vaccinated that could explain why you barely felt symptoms.
There were always people who were carrying without any symptoms, or who had mild symptoms. That's part of why it kept spreading.
Or why the "yankee candle index" exists, because it was people with just the smelling loss who didn't realize they had it.
I got it in August 2022 and tested positive the first day of a new job.
They had paid Covid leave, so my first week I was paid for staying home.
Fauci would be a good start
I have no clue who that is
You don't know who Anthony Fauci is? You must be under the same amnesia he's currently experiencing - "Show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did"
Ok I looked him up, it says "See - Americentrism"
No idea who that is either
You misspelled 'ignorance'. He's famous all over the world. But your hubris is well noted.
😂😂😂 Did you read the definition of Americentrism 😂😂😂
