What are the chances that I've somehow avoided COVID infection? I've never had a COVID test.
I did get the Pfizer vac and two subsequent boosters. ZERO reaction to any of them.

Is it more likely that I was infected and was completely asymptomatic? Is there any way to find out?

I hadn't been sick in 3 years, until I tested positive for covid tonight. Got it from my grandkids.

Well I hope it goes well and your symptoms are mild.

Not too bad, like a mild flu.

My spouse has never had Covid and never had a vaccine. Everyone else in our home has had it, although we took ivermectin and it was super mild.

I thought I escaped as well but no. just tested positive today. Tele visit with got me paxlovid. Feels like a nasty cold with low energy.

What is your blood type? My 16 year old daughter fits this - never had it, and with the exception of the spring 2020 shutdown when no one went to school, she's been in school every day. We spent 2+ years getting periodic "someone in the classroom has covid" notices. She never got it. My wife, my other daughter, and I all got covid at the same time in early 2021. She didn't get it. She took an antibody test late in 2021 and had no antibodies.

She is O neg blood type. My dad is also one of the few people I know to never get it, and O neg (he and my daughter are the only O negs). Maybe fluke, but there were stories about blood type correlation in 2020 and I can't help but wonder if there is something to it

I'm O negative. Maybe that helped me for 3 years.

O+

I'm O+ but tested positive very recently after 3 years. Including a 48hr span of normal habits around my symptomatic wife. Go figure.

So you were asymptomatic?

Perhaps but I was testing negative throughout that saga.

My sister has never had COVID.

I have had it twice.

She hasn't had a cold since COVID started. And if she had the virus in her and had no symptoms, does it really matter?

---

But you can't say for sure that she hasn't had it, no?

And no, it doesn't matter in reality. But we haven't lived in what should be reality in 3 years. To many many people it absolutely does matter. That's the reality we live in now.

So that's kind of the point of my initial post. Since I haven't been sick since COVID started in early 2020 does that mean I've never had it (what are the odds?)....or is it more likely I have had it and been completely asymptomatic....a possibility bolstered by the fact that I had absolutely no reaction at all (other than injection site soreness) to both Pfizer vaccine shots and both Pfizer boosters I've had.

I haven't been sick and I've been exposed a million times. I've been testing regularly since testing became available as my job puts me in contact with a lot of people.

I honestly think some people, whatever the percentage just don't get this thing.

Without an antibody test, there really isn't a way to tell. Chances are, you're like billions of other people who have had it and never knew or had very minor symptoms you've had hundreds of times in your life that you attributed to something else. Most everybody my wife and I know that had COVID only knew due to being required to test due to contact tracing.
