Surely everyone had it at least once! Hope better soon RB. G I've still not knowingly had it. All tests I've done have been negative.

Grast_girl 16 Jul 1:12pm, 16 Jul 2025 3,430 posts	Quote Pin Grast_girl Just updated my answer @HappyG(rrr), although no PCR test to prove it, the multiple LFTs and symptoms were enough, although I was a maybe before anyway.

K5 Gus 16 Jul 2:17pm, 16 Jul 2025 6,514 posts	Quote Pin K5 Gus I'm pretty sure I've never had it, never once felt fluey or ill in the last 5 years, for which I'm very grateful.
Non-runner 16 Jul 2:19pm, 16 Jul 2025 1,224 posts	Quote Pin Non-runner I don’t think I have had Covid, used to play at testing with LFTs and they were all a bit random, once tested positive after throwing up with food poisoning. Still, haven’t had anything other than a sniffle since a bad flu in 2019 that knocked me out for weeks. Also time for full disclosure - I’m probably the only person on here who never had a covid jab. More from sheer laziness than anything else.
Shades 16 Jul 2:21pm, 16 Jul 2025 8,436 posts	Quote Pin Shades I wasn't feeling very ill the first time and I felt a bit smug sailing through it. However, second dose of Covid a month later and I was really poorly. Could never remember feeling so ill. 🤒
Bazoaxe 16 Jul 7:21pm, 16 Jul 2025 28,579 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe I’ve only knowingly had covid once. It wasnt nice. That was about three years ago and since then I haven’t had so much as a sniffle. Probably jinxed myself now.
