I've never had a positive test but I also stopped testing a couple of years ago since my kids get us all sick so frequently and workplaces and events don't care about COVID anymore investing in tests just didn't make any sense at all. I just avoid going out while sick and wait until whatever's being spread through the family dies off

N95 subnet mask 😷

I've had one confirmed infection. In the intervening years that I've had long COVID, I've never tested positive with a home antigen test, but there have been times I've gotten sicker. I have no idea if that was reinfection or just my immune system no longer being able to handle run of the mill illnesses. 🤔
The eugenicists I know who stopped wearing masks because they got vaccinated have all had multiple confirmed infections since then. And they only test if they have clear symptoms.

Two confirmed, three where I don't know for sure because I didn't have access to tests. After the first confirmed one, I wore N95s any time I was indoors somewhere other than my house or people I already knew were either already doing the same or tested negative. I still do the same today, but wear one oudoors if I'm expected to be in a crowd or the air quality is shit. (eg, wildfire season)

got it three years ago, when I thought, oh, it's the summer, vaccines are a thing, it should be fine. Training Camp, masking in communal spaces of the ice rink except on the ice itself, but lived together with my coach to safe money. Second Day, evening, I come home to them having symptoms and positive tests and I'd already contracted it myself. They were fine again and tested negatively after only 4-5 days. I was home sick and infectious for 14, unable to exercise for another month 😬

My first infection in Aug 2022 was confirmed by tests, but no other positive tests since. Pretty sure I've had it 10 times now from the symptom clusters I've experienced though. I mask, my mom doesn't mask cause of health issues, but still the last covid exposure was from asymptomatic people standing in the hallway infront of our apartment for over an hour.

@Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷 I've had covid twice, both times it was a moderate headcold. neither time did it go down into my chest. The first time I had about a 99.1F fever, and one day I had an upset stomach and threw up once, the second time no upset stomach, no fever at all, just a runny stuffed up nose that, if it had not been for testing, would have been indiscernible from a common cold. I don't wear masks because I understand that a mask with a pore size of 100-200 microns isn't going to stop a 1 micron virus any more effectively than a chain link fence is going to stop mosquitos, and statistically, they average 1-2% in effectiveness so yea I'll pass. I really find it amusing when I see someone driving, by themselves, with their windows rolled up, wearing a mask. And I'm 66, diabetic, and unvaccinated and plan to remain that way. My Son who is 40, been vaccinated twice, got heart issues after the second vax, and has had covid three times, the third quite severe, so yea a lot of good that did him. I prefer my genetics not polluted by Gates, same as my computers.

@nanook You're grossly misinformed how respirators work.
And how reliable they are.
And how public health at the population scale works.
And how anecdotes differ from data.
Also how vaccines work.
And how air pollution works.
And how statistics work.
And how genetics work.
And how much influence Gates has.

And how much you understand.

It's quite remarkable, really. I'm impressed.
