Not had Covid? - Does that mean I have no friends?

I have no social life whatsoever and have never had Covid so maybe he has a point.

My DD teaches in an Infant school where many of the children & staff have had Covid. DD had Covid in early December. Her teaching assistant, that she gives a lift to each morning did not catch Covid until now. No rhyme or reason like many other diseases...

We've not had it yet and we've socialised quite a lot once we were able again. Our son had a big engagement party in October, we had a family get together here just before Christmas - over 30 of us and then children and grandchildren on Christmas Day. One son tested positive on Boxing Day and a few others caught it too but no one was really ill, even the unvaccinated folk. I know it's very prevalent at the moment so it could be us next, just hope not. I do take Vitamin D to help boost immunity through the winter months

I wear a mask in any public place, keep a distance, use sanitiser/ wash hands etc. but I do see friends, who are like me re masks etc.
My DH & I got Covid at the beginning of March. No idea where from as nobody else we know personally had it just before us.
We see our DDs & DGC but they had Covid in Nov / Dec. The current strain is very transmissible so might have been someone who got too near in a supermarket queue, or on a train... Good job the vaccines have reduced the impact of the virus for most people.

Lots of friends I see regularly- all triple vaxxed. None of us have had Covid despite members of our family, mainly the younger ones, having succumbed. I put it down to none of being the hugging or touchy feeler type whereas the younger generation tend to launch themselves into each other’s arms several times during any encounter.

Definitely a madman! I haven't had covid. I teach karate, five days a week, to loads of school age children and we get regular messages from parents saying their child has tested positive. I also teach adults who, at the very least, are parents of school children and have jobs and friends. They tell us when/if they test positive. We are not required to wear masks. Maybe, eventually, I will get covid but I believe, fingers crossed, I have a strong immune system and it has protected me so far. I'm no Billy No Mates and I haven't had covid!

I'm sure we are immune, seeing as we probably were among the first to get a mystery illness in December 2019.

It doesn't get everyone, though. I've got friends whose young kids all had it and they didn't, even though they were caring for the kids through it all.

I kept out of the way of other people when it first hit, didn't go on holiday, but found myself having to travel by train and bus and go to a funeral instead. When it was allowed I met with friends in the garden. I then had an accident which meant I had to go on public transport to the hospital weekly. My children have fresh air jobs and have not had it either.
Once I was able to have all my jabs I had them all. I've been on holiday, been on trips, to church, wedding and a funeral been to the shops etc, but I have kept wearing a mask. I've known people who've been asymptomatic at first so felt able to go out. I've also known someone this year whose family had it mildly but she died. I will continue to wear a mask when in shops, church, public transport

I and hubby must have interpersonal problems as we have not had covid either ! A different culture in Korea maybe ?

I have been socialising sensibly since restrictions eased off late last year and I have been in close contact with my grandchildren and their mum while they were infectious and didn’t know it, also with one of my sons 2 weeks ago and with 2 friends 3 weeks ago and I haven’t had covid as yet

A Korean doctor claimed that people who haven't had COVID yet probably don't have friends.
So you can only catch Covid from friends?

I’d have thought teaching was more risky, but who knows?
Perhaps that’s why only meeting friends outdoors was safer.

If that's true, I haven't got friends and neither does my husband! We haven't had Covid so fat!

I gave stuck to the rules since it started and have avoided getting it. I went to a family wedding on Saturday. Over a hundred people there. Everyone was asked to do a test before attending. Did they all do a test...I doubt it. I will be watching out for signs of covid...

Silly statement without proof, I’ve been lucky, careful social and as far as I know have not had Covid.

What rubbish! All my family have had it except me. DH and I never kept apart, sharing everything, when he had it but I never caught it.

We are at home with Covid as I type! No idea where we got it ! Partner positive on Friday, me on Saturday ! Terrible headache , now gone, lethargy, cough easing! Thank goodness for vaccination and paracetamol ! We have been quite social but maybe got complacent ! Who knows !!!

To me his point of view is completely nonsensical.

Those of us who haven't had covid, haven't had it for various reasons:

sheer luck
a good immune system
we took suitable precautions to avoid infection
we jumped at the chance of being vaccinated

I cannot see how having friends or not having them comes into it.

Honestly some ridiculous sweeping statements are bandied about re covid. However given the high rates of asymptomatic covid (up to 40% of those testing positive in community studies) and lack of any testing early on, many people will have had Covid without knowing. I joined Biobank and Zoe App Covid research projects and blood samples showed I had covid antibodies from both covid infection and from being immunised. I have never had any symptoms nor tested positive so would have been one of those saying I haven't had covid.

I live in a house with 5 other family . I work on a school, go to church regularly and volunteer at a centre once a week. I have done some socialising, out to eat twice this week although that’s unusual, a train journey (nearly empty) one day two weeks ago. Not had Covid and been triple vaccinated. I’m living my life as normally as possible. I have taken vitamin D right through Covid and swear it had helped my immune system.

I worked 15 hours a week in a GP surgery all my colleagues got it, we were doing face to face all through but I've never had it.

He’s right in my case. I haven’t had it but I’m all but friendless. I suppose it’s an up side to being a loner.

I never believe sweeping statements and generalisations.
He is best ignored.

Yes, utter huge piles of BS! We have tested EVERY week throughout the pandemic. My OH is "vulnerable" and yet neither of us have had Covid.

He`s talking utter bullshit.

Chewbacca

Maybe Grandnana but I've had no symptoms and, despite many LFTs, I've never had a positive result. DIL is here regularly (I look after GC) and she's had umpteen LTF tests when pupils have been confirmed as being positive, but none of us have caught it so far. touches wood We've been very fortunate haven't we?

Similar here. Partner and I test regularly, grandchildren VERY regularly for the same reason as your DIL. None of us have had symptoms nor a positive result. That's why I'm hoping that we've gradually built up a resistance over time.
We'll see. Touching wood furiously!
