Midwest. I checked yes I think so because I wasn't tested but I know so. We had it in the house. One member is approved as a plasma volunteer and the rest of us lost our sense of taste and smell. I also had serious respiratory symptoms and fever. I'm very lucky bH because one day I probably should have gone to the hospital for oxygen.

DH tested positive and I showed very mild symptoms. He had a bad case but is BH recovered now and is starting to donate plasma soon.

I'm in Flatbush. No one in my family had any symptoms, despite having been exposed plenty in the week following Purim. DH's antibody test came back positive, mine negative. So I guess DH had an asymptomatic case of the virus (which is a huge blessing, as he has an autoimmune disorder and gets very sick from a simple cold or the flu), while I didn't catch it at all.
As an aside...
We are so so grateful that we have been very careful with the SDing since schools closed after Purim. We hardly went out even for essential errands. Can you imagine if my husband would have been lax, going to secret minyanim and visiting every grocery in town, without knowing that he was carrying the virus and possibly infecting others? We would feel terribly guilty.
Especially since my uncle (mid-60's, healthy) caught the virus a few days after Purim and passed away a week later. The doctors had been pleading with the community already by Purim to close shuls and schools, but it took us too long to listen. I know that my uncle's petira is min hashamayim, but I shudder to think how the community leaders (who ignored the doctors' advice to shut down until it was too late) must feel to have his blood on their hands.

My swab was negative. I'm hoping to get antibody testing soon. |
Sounds like you had a cold.
If you've neither tested positive nor been tested for antibodies, you cannot be sure you had it. IMSNHO, it sounds like people who had any type of virus are counting themselves as having had covid 19.
I had it, as did DH. Both tested. BIL and SIL also tested positive;neither survived.

For those of you saying that you tested positive for antibodies but were asymptomatic, why did you go get tested?

My husband's shul actually asked all members to get tested if possible, just to get a better picture of where we stand vis a vis re-opening. (Of course, the PA said we don't really know what antibodies mean, but maybe soon we will...)
I went along for the fun of it. I was really hoping to test positive, so I could stop wearing a mask and SDing.
Just kidding.
(DH is still wearing a mask and SDing, though he tested positive. Better be safe than sorry, and better not take a chance with someone else's life.)

I was SO sick the entire month of February before the Covid pandemic started....tested negative for both flu a & b. Covid test wasn't a "thing" then.

It still doesn’t mean you had covid19 then. You could have had Adeno virus or paraflu or whatever

We were quarantined to a fault in a neighborhood where mostly everyone was out already. People kept telling us that it’s possible we had it even without symptoms. I was so sure they’re wrong but figured it doesn’t hurt to test. I was so surprised to see that we actually had antibodies. Turns out we must’ve been exposed still before lockdown.
I suggest to anyone in a neighborhood where most people had it to go test themselves for antibodies even though they’re sure they didn’t. It was actually a huge relief to see that we did without even knowing it! In hindsight I’m so grateful that we at least don’t have to feel guilty that we passed it further since we followed the SD rules.
