Have you never contracted Covid-19?
I’ve taken the liberty of reblogging this post from a blog that I follow, as it is a question that interests me. As far as I know I have never contracted Covid-19, but I think I’m a rare case. I know many people who have had it multiple times. The most I think is five. There was an outbreak at the Euclid Meeting in Rome too, which affected over sixty people. I am hearing through the grapevine that case numbers are rather high at the moment, both in Europe and the USA, but in the absence of any systematic testing it is difficult to know the precise situation.
A couple of months ago I had a nasty cough which I thought might have been Covid-19 but repeated tests came back negative.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I suppose another booster will be available in the autumn and I’ll take that too.
Anyway, I’d be interested to hear through the comments from anyone who has never had Covid-19 if you feel like divulging such information.

I have had it twice probably, only once confirmed by tests.

There are certainly people out there who have had Covid but think they haven’t. These are the ones who develop either no or very minor symptoms, and thus never know they’ve had it. The only real way to check in your case would be an analysis of anti-Covid antibodies in your serum.

Yes, I could have had it and been asymptomatic as could lots of people. There must be many people who were exposed to Covid-19 but it never took a foothold.

Neither I nor my son have had it. Both vaccinated and I have had many booster shots, and also several tests. However the percentage of people who have had Covid but were asymptomatic could be as high as 40% or so, so I may have had it at some stage but not known.

I have never had it, to my knowledge, and neither has my son. Oddly, rest of the family had it, but never passed it on. We are all fully vaccinated.
