Wife and both kids have had it the last week and despite being around them for most days, I appear to have gotten away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2022 To my knowledge I've not had it. But I've basically lived like a hermit for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandson had it but that's as close as it came to this household. All my circle of friends have had it, in some cases twice but even with a gig and a festival, up to now, escaped it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and both kids had it all at the same time last summer and I still avoided it. We isolated together for 10 days after being in the car together for 3 hours. They caught it whilst we were away on a UK holiday. The place was absolutely rammed. It was only 2-3 weeks after my 2nd vaccine shot so I wonder if my immune system was as protective as it could possibly get at that stage.

AVFCDAN Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Those of you who think youve never had it may well have had it and not known. I did the antibody test in early 2021 as part of a government survey thing and it said i had the anti bodies so most likely had it within the previous 6 months but i didn't have so much as a sniffle during that time and never tested myself either.

stuart_75 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I caught it for the first time a month ago. Usual symptoms for a week, but 2 days were spent in bed being in agony. As mentioned above thought I'd escaped it as I've lived like a hermit for 2 and half years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been out countless times, been to gigs, bars, clubs, sports events, cheltenham (twice) etc etc. Always avoided it somehow Now I've got it I genuinely can't think of how I would have caught it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it would have been all that waiting around with other people due to the length of time you have to wait in that there London for buses 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasional jaunt into the office or for a beer, but still fairly isolated. Not because of any reason apart from being a loner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Still 'unvaccinated'. Been cracking on as best as possible throughout. Not had it as far as I'm aware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 He's not unvaccinated, he's 'unvaccinated', just trying to work out what the difference is. Perhaps he's unvaccinated, but ironically. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweating but freezing, throat full of razor blades, whole body hurts. People have had it way worse than me and I’m very glad I’m not one of them!

I really don't want to get into the reasoning again as it'll just start another round of bickering and arguments. Informed decision, which up to this point seems justified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
