I had 2 shots and 2 boosters 6 mo apart. I think by now it's about as harmful to me as the common cold, I actually feel a sick sort of enjoyment whenever somebody wins the Darwin award for this. Sucks for the people with auto-immune problems, though, my heart sinks for them.

Careful, the Left Behind Christians want to bring about the end of the world for the same reason. It's not healthy.

I had two shots and a single booster. Got COVID last year when my parents decided to go to children's birthday party. For me it was sore throat for day and a half. But I still sat isolated for ten days and until my test showed negative.

So not even a cold for me... but I feel bad for people with less fortunate immune systems. In the end it's not about me but about those people who can't defend against it.

Probably they got it but they didn't notice. At a place I worked in recently several people had cold like symptoms and I got same but immediately knew it's corona because I got it last year. But almost everyone describes it as cold or allergies.

I can't say I've completely avoided it, but I've only experienced loss of taste, although it may be placebo effect caused by the times.

Edit: grammar

I had it once and it was after a family gathering and every member of my family had it, except my mom. She didn't have it till now and barely reacted to the vaccine. She seems to be immune or something

Never caught it, or never tested positive... or even bothered to be tested. I'm pretty sure I just had one of the mild cases, because I've had 'generic respiratory illness' with sniffles and congestion a few times since COVID-19 became a concern. I'm betting there is a large group of people who fit into my category.

I was never officially diagnosed, but I had something that looked a lot like COVID in late February 2020. Glad I got that out of the way before lockdown started.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

same. Kid and I had the same symptoms, our doctors had no clue what it was. It went away in a few days. I was at an international conference late January and was sick a little over a week after that, so it lines up pretty well. I was WFH for two years before it was cool, and am pretty much a hermit otherwise, so we're all pretty sure it was COVID.

I actually only know three people who've gotten it and two were not vaccinated

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's actually wild Where do you live

I live in the US and just about all of my friends had it at some point

I've never got a positive test result but I'm convinced I would of had to of gotten it and either took the symptoms as allergies or was asymptomatic

I somehow dodged it until earlier this year and it barely affected me. Just woke up now at 6am and I have it again lol. The rest of my family spent the last week dealing with it and now it's my turn again.

I got it in January, but aside from the fever it wasn't any different from a cold for me, so I still consider myself lucky.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I had a mild flu for like 2 days... Does that count?

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Managed to avoid it for a long time, but then got it from sitting shoulder by shoulder in uni after mask mandates were phased out. It was not pleasant, but luckily I didn't get any really bad symptoms.
