I slightly wonder how hard it is to find individuals who have not contracted COVID even once. I think all the people I know got it at one point or another.

Considering it can be asymptomatic and all the vaccines, even I won't say I didn't get it at some point and I've had no confirmed COVID,

As far as I know, my young kid and I have never caught it. My husband caught it at a birthday party the three of us all attended. We were in close proximity with my husband the three day before he finally tested positive andy kiddo and I tested multiple times and never tested positive.

Part of me wants to believe my kiddo and I are just incredibly lucky and never caught it, but more likely we are just asymptomatic carriers.

I haven't ever got it. The one time I thought I did, because I had cold like symptoms and lost my sense of smell and taste, it wasn't even an illness; it was just my seasonal allergies acting hella weird.
