Have you had covid?

Of course this must be the reason I havent caught it yet.

This is very interesting

I've not had it yet, but my son and girlfriend had it late February, and my daughter in NI had it about a fortnight ago. I'm going over to see her early April and am being really careful.

Unfortunately. Caught it at Christmas time. First time as well, despite having outbreaks at work and being around covid positive people during the whole pandemic.

I have not and have looked after 2 people with it and been in the company of 3 different people who had it. This was before vaccination. Would be interesting to know why.

I have not had Covid and am quite concerned with the new variants which are so infectious. Three of my friends have died of Covid, only one had underlying medical conditions, so I am rather anxious.

Initially I was happy to socialise again as restrictions were lifted, the people I met all tested themselves beforehand but now I think few people still do that. I have restricted my social life slightly by avoiding large indoor groups but living on my own, I found the lockdowns quite difficult and don’t want to feel lonely again, especially if others are going mingling quite happily.

I probably need to stop feeling so negative and cheer up!

Yes. DH brought it home and I tested positive 2 weeks ago. Negative now but still not feeling quite right. The symptoms were different to any virus
I've had previously but no worse. I wear a mask in busy places more to protect others from me.

We both had it over the last 10days. Started with bad cold symptoms, sore throat, aching sinuses, tickly cough. We both isolated as didn't want to pass it to others. After 2 or 3 days symptoms eased a lot but we felt tired. Tested positive still on day 10. We almost certainly caught it from our young grandson who we picked up from school because he was feeling unwell. He tested positive that day and us 2 days later.

Yes I’ve had it. It was before I was able to be vaccinated. I was very ill and hospitalised. That’s why I’m concerned at rising cases and no restrictions.

We both have it, MrOops is on day 10 and I’m on day 8 both still testing positive, but MrOops has been pretty poorly, he still has a job to breathe as he has a shocking cold with it and can’t taste anything.
We have been very careful, but he went to a meeting with one other person who hadn’t bothered to test himself before he went out and caught it from him. Grrrrrrrr.

I suspect that I did, way back in the first lockdown. Before we had easy access to testing. I reported the symptoms on the covid website and was then told to phone my GP. She told me that I possibly might have it and told me to isolate for two weeks, so I did.
I was amazed that it wasn't taken more seriously and some sort of test offered.
I will never really know whether or not I had it. But I obviously did not have it very severely.

No, neither of us have had it. We’ve been careful, but no more than anyone else.

Out of 14 members of my extended family there are only 6 of us who haven't had covid; and the others have had it once, twice and even 3 times in the case of my great niece. I'm been very lucky so far and hope it stays that way.

it is weird isn't t? like some people seem more susceptible to catching it and others not

I've got it at the moment. Tested positive on Wednesday. As I'm in Wales I have to legally isolate until Tuesday morning.
I would isolate anyway. Not feeling up to much still have a sore throat and headache and tired. My team leader also has it so probably caught it from her.
DH is away at the moment and he's fine

No and I have worked too over the last year and transported my dd to college daily (so her mixing) and one at school still.

All my sons have had it and my husband but not me or my daughter.

I did have a mild flu though in Feb 2020 but no testing then so who knows

No, I've not had it and I'm not worried about catching it because we're all going to get it eventually. My extremely vulnerable aunt and uncle have both had it and felt rough for a few days but they're both now "OK".

I haven’t had it and don’t want it right now as I’m having tests at the hospital. I’m doing my best to steer clear of most people as I don’t want anything to interfere with diagnosis or treatment.

I got it straight after Christmas, I was off my feet because I had had an operation on my foot so I hadn't been out. The only person I could have caught it off was my son who was going out to work. Luckily my asthmatic Husband didn't catch it, he swears it's the vitamin C he has taken since the beginning of the pandemic. It knocked me for six I was quite ill.

No. I'm careful but aware I'm also lucky. I only know one person, personally as opposed to hearsay, who has had it.

I've not had it and only know one person who has. We've been very lucky.

Yes. In February. DGC who live with us brought it home from school. We all had very different symptoms. Most had sore throat and headache. I didn’t have that but had excruciating muscle pain down back of legs. We all had positive PCRs.

No. But we’ve been uber careful. My son and his family are staying with us in a couple of weeks time…first time we’ve had anyone in the house other than tradespeople for two years, and I’m getting quite worried about it. Especially as I’m looking after my daughters dog the following week when they attempt, for the third time, to have a holiday abroad.

I had it back in April/May 2020, didn't have a fever, cough or loss of smell or taste. Just had a blinding headache that came on every afternoon for a few days and felt very tired. I spent just under a week glued to the sofa or on a sun lounger in the garden. Dh tested positive a day before me and had a fever for half a day and was a bit tired but carried on working all through. Our adult children who lived with us didn't catch it as far as we know despite being in close contact with us all the time.
Since then I've been in contact with loads of people who turned out to have it but have not tested positive again.

Yes I have had it twice, the first time when they sent residents of our care home back from the hospital with Covid. ?‍♀️..The second time about a year ago. Both times I was asymptomatic and would not of known had l not taking a test.. still do lateral flow test every time before I go to work
