How many times have you had covid
I am interested to see if people think/know they have never had Covid or how many times they have had it.

Re: How many times have you had covid

April 2022
Brain fog for one day (that was weird) followed by slight sore throat for 3-4 days
and that was it - got away very lightly
Triple jabbed

Re: How many times have you had covid
Many many people will have been vaccinated and subsequently infected with covid but shown no symptoms.
Unless you have tested yourself every single day for the last 2+ years there is no way to know if you are one of them.

And even then... user error, etc.
I've known a good number of folk whose home tests looked fine but went for PCR tests which confirmed infection as they were having symptoms (in the days when such things were considered important)

And I had Covid like symptons for three days or so but never tested positive and I checked every day.

..zactly.
I'm pretty confident I didn't have it before Nov 2021, as we were looking after mum, LFTing before each visit, and weekly PCR and LFT each visit once she was in a care home.
Since then, no symptoms, and negative on the odd test, but given we've been going to gigs and other group events I will certainly have veen a close contact and exposed, but whether I actually caught it cannot be known.

I know, but I'm interested to know what people's perceptions are at least. The ONS said in April 2022 that they thought >70% of the population of England had had Covid by that point. Given it is so rife in some parts of the country just now, I'd be surprised if most people hadn't had it by the end of this year - although maybe aymptomatically.

Isn't that called a cold
joking aside, a lot of the symptoms are the same

I think the spirit of the poll is that you would answer "Never" unless EITHER you tested positive OR you know from symptoms that it is probable that you had it.
On that basis I choose "Never".

That's right although I also had the runs and a cold in midsummer seems a bit unlikely since I never have one even in the middle of winter. Anyway I have entered, 'Never had Covid'
