I’m getting over my second infection, that I know of. I think almost everyone in this comm says that qualifier. Because we understand things like asymptomatic spread and false negative tests. And no matter how diligent we are with precautions, there’s still a chance you can get it. (Blessings on our brethren who haven’t left home in almost 5 years).

I mentioned I had COVID to someone I was speaking to over Zoom yesterday.

They said, “Yeah my son and my wife had it in 2022, but thankfully I’ve never had it.”

What the hell do you even say to that?

My family is full of people who appear immune. My sister will wear a mask when flying, in healthcare settings or otherwise when requested but nowhere else. She's had countless direct exposures, including when her partner gets it and has never shown any symptoms. My grandparents all take zero precautions and live in group homes and yet have never had it. My mom does take precautions but wasn't thaaat careful when my dad had it (they live together) and never showed symptoms.

Simce they're close family I know for a fact they've never shown symptoms and aren't getting sick. Idk what to think

There is research out there that indicates some people have a quasi-immunity. I’m not sure the prevalence of it. I haven’t read anything about these types of individuals being asymptomatic spreaders or not. Must be nice though.
