The secret is to barely go outside.
I mean I have grocery shopped one a week the whole time but I've literally not been sick, not even with a cold, this whole time (and I used to get colds all the time). I didnt even mask for awhile there though I decided to start again because of the surge and the fear of long covid.
I had 2 shots and 2 boosters 6 mo apart. I think by now it's about as harmful to me as the common cold, I actually feel a sick sort of enjoyment whenever somebody wins the Darwin award for this. Sucks for the people with auto-immune problems, though, my heart sinks for them.
Careful, the Left Behind Christians want to bring about the end of the world for the same reason. It's not healthy.
I had two shots and a single booster. Got COVID last year when my parents decided to go to children's birthday party. For me it was sore throat for day and a half. But I still sat isolated for ten days and until my test showed negative.
So not even a cold for me... but I feel bad for people with less fortunate immune systems. In the end it's not about me but about those people who can't defend against it.
Never caught it, or never tested positive... or even bothered to be tested. I'm pretty sure I just had one of the mild cases, because I've had 'generic respiratory illness' with sniffles and congestion a few times since COVID-19 became a concern. I'm betting there is a large group of people who fit into my category.
I'm fairly sure I also fall into that category, but I'll probably never know for certain
Me, I've not had covid and its been in the house 3 times. I also have 100% attendance at work
I had it once and it was after a family gathering and every member of my family had it, except my mom. She didn't have it till now and barely reacted to the vaccine. She seems to be immune or something
I can't say I've completely avoided it, but I've only experienced loss of taste, although it may be placebo effect caused by the times.
Edit: grammar
Is there a vaccine that helps you win the lottery?
I got it in January, but aside from the fever it wasn't any different from a cold for me, so I still consider myself lucky.
I live in a very small town and pretty much only leave home for groceries. In general I'm never around people. On top of taking all the precautions, it wasn't that hard for me.
I went three years without catching it then it spread through my workplace like wildfire because people won't stay home when they're sick and the one guy has to go to Vegas first chance he got.
Managed to avoid it for a long time, but then got it from sitting shoulder by shoulder in uni after mask mandates were phased out. It was not pleasant, but luckily I didn't get any really bad symptoms.

I think this number is a lot lower than people may think. From personal experience I have had covid more than four times (not testing anymore), I was only actually symptomatic to any degree with the first one. By contrast, my partner has never once actually tested positive, despite certainly having it at least once, having caught it from me, and being very symptomatic. Some people shed a lot of the virus, and some people shed not any basically whatsoever, since the tests are based on actually shedding the virus, many people who simply don't shed the virus have caught covid-19 and simply don't realize it or won't ever test positive
I somehow dodged it until earlier this year and it barely affected me. Just woke up now at 6am and I have it again lol. The rest of my family spent the last week dealing with it and now it's my turn again.
