You need an "I don't know" option for those of us who don't test.

This.

I had body chills for 1 day and body aches for 2.

No sneezing, coughing or fever.

I didn't test. I have no idea what I had.

I had it twice but a few people at my work had it 3 times (both those people were vaccinated and boosted, for those who still think the vaccine works) Rolling Eyes

Two that I know of. I don’t test anymore so no idea if more then that. I just had seven days of straight fever. I think it was the flu but who knows ?

Never tested, but based on symptoms and when it was circulating in my neighborhood, twice.

I have a coworker who got every booster and only now got covid. Was working in person in a health related field so heavily exposed so vaccine did work for him. He had a fever and symptoms.
I wasn't working in person as we have different jobs so I only got it once.

I tested positive once and tested negative two other times. I have definitely had symptoms since then two or three times that could have been covid, allergies or a cold but don't test anymore.

ETA: have not had any vaccines

I checked 2x but I didn’t test either time. I’m assuming it was covid because my husband tested positive both times and I got sick right after he did with all the covid symptoms.
First time was a nightmare and I barely survived. Second time I was very sick but nothing like the first time and then got better much faster.

No I didn't get any vaccines or boosters. Had COVID first time April 2020, then again sometime in 2021 can't remember the details, then in Feb 2022 I tested thinking I had strep and it was COVID. If this is COVID it's the 4th time maybe 5th just because there was another instance where I had a cold in the past 6 months and the sore throat felt like the time I had COVID Feb 2022, where it was like a burning sensation.

Was wondering if this is happening to others as well.

Right. Because if you test you can't spread it to others but if you don't test then everyone's grandmother dies.

No, if you don’t test, it is likely because you don’t want to know, so you don’t have to bother quarantining, wearing a mask, or taking precautions so as not to infect others.
So yes, you might very well be the cause of someone’s Grandmother getting very sick or possibly dying. At least admit you don’t care.
Hope that that Grandmother isn’t your own.

Grandma is vaccinated and triple boosted, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

I've had it 5 times
March 2020
November 2021
March 2022
July 2022
September 2022

I completely lost my sense of smell in November 2021. Every time I think it might be coming back somewhat, I get Covid again, and my sense of smell is gone again. Very frustrating. It's so hard to cook.
