The Daily Peeve / Rant

I haven't had COVID, not at all surprisingly.

I heard that someone I sat next to at an iris convention last May, sat next to him for two hours and we interacted because we were working on a project, came down with Covid 48 hours later. But I have forgotten to verify that with him. If he did have it then man I had a narrow escape.

You may just have a robust immune system, or be naturally immune. I've read there are such people.

My home tests two weeks ago were positive but I never saw a doc to confirm. The tell-tale for me has been a pronounced loss of smell and taste. I am a week over it and things still don't taste right. Hoping it comes back over time cuz I love to eat!!

Oh and I forgot DH had it several months ago, at least at home Covid test showed positive. But he thinks he had some thing else, some thing associated with his appendix.

I have not had covid. I mean I don't constantly test, so if it manifested asymptomatically or as a 1 day allergy when tests were scare, I would not know. Plus my boyfriend thinks they may have had it in Feb 2020 though other than a stomach ache one day I wasn't sick then either. I have not had so much as a cold's worth of symptoms and not a positive test yet.

Try supplementing with zinc for awhile--can't hurt.

I've not had it and have been the human pin cushion for shots and very conservative in going out. Among my small social circle there are a few who've not had it with various degrees of exposure risk, but all have been vaccinated. The rest have had it, but none have been especially sick. Again, various exposures and most with a couple or few shots. I don't know of anyone who hasn't had at least the first shot and then the booster.

I’ve not had Covid either. Had all my shots and boosters.
