I don't have Coronavirus
Discussion
Who else has gone the whole of the last two years without apparently catching Covid?
In February 2020, while skiing in France, I caught something on the penultimate evening of the trip which meant I literally spent the whole of the final day in bed with a fever and sore throat. Maybe that was it or maybe it was just a regular flu type virus, I'm not sure.
That was the last time I got ill with anything, save for a few very minor colds. I haven't had any vaccines, boosters, tests or anything else Covid related whatsoever. Yet everybody I know who has caught it (sometimes more than once) has been vaccinated...
Has anybody else gone through this, apparently unscathed?

I've not had it AFAIK.
Don't have kids, work from home.
But sing in a choir, go to the gym regularly and spend a lot of time in Coffee shops. Haven't worn a mask since last Autumn.
Have only tested myself twice though so could have been one of the many who've been asymptomatic when infected.

I know of a couple of people that either haven't had it or have been asymptomatic but they are a very small minority.
My colleague is one of them and he has tested quite regularly due to constant contact with the public. I was at work when I realized I had it but luckily everyone else was all clear.

I haven't had it.
Most people I know haven't had it either.
Almost as if wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing, washing your hands when you get home and avoiding unnecessary trips all work. You know, the advice that people who've studied viruses and infections their whole life gave us.
In this time I've had 8 LFTs and 1 PCR test. All negative.

Given the large percentage of asymptomatic cases, it would be nice to have testing freely available for antibodies. Four out of our family of five had Covid back at the beginning of January (despite being fully and recently vaccinated). What about my middle daughter? Was she an asymptomatic Typhoid Mary? Did she have a case some other time?
Haven't had so much as a sniffle in 2 years. It's amazing (Not really ..) how a bit hand cleaning and distance has stopped the spread of all sorts of more or less nasty bugs. 
Wife got it last January and I didn't bother avoiding her particularly and seemed to dodge it. Of our three kids, one has just tested positive but has been fine. All of us have been testing regularly throughout.
If the OP hasn't been testing then there's no way to know if they've been one of the asymptomatic 1/3.

Never had it and neither has my wife. She works in a school so tests twice a week. My son caught it, he's 11 so we didn't isolate him from us. Only one kid in his class hasn't had it.
I've sat next to someone and shared snacks with them for five hours who tested positive the next day. I travelled down to London in mid December and went of a pub crawl and nothing.
