I would have said the same. 3 and a half years working retail during the pandemic and last week was the week it knocked me on my ass. Be careful.

Same! I work in healthcare and had to test nearly daily (using the antigene tests) and didn't catch COVID until last week. If I didn't work in healthcare I probably wouldn't even know I had it, since the symptoms were rather mild. I only tested, because I had to work with people on chemotherapy and didn't wanna risk them. At this point, I think there's lots of people who catch the virus and don't even know about it since we mostly stopped testing.

What did you do to avoid it for three years?

[-] wisemanzero@lemm.ee 43 points 11 months ago

I dunno, wore a mask in public during the worst of it and used hand sanitizer regularly? I think it helped more that I'm a homebody with no friends.

All it took was a wedding for me to finally catch it last week. Sons of bitches

I got it for the first time at the beginning of September. I was so pissed, my 2.5 year streak of avoiding it gone. It was pretty brutal too, the fever and muscle soreness was no joke.
