    You could have caught it, even multiple times, while not experiencing symptoms. Meanwhile you did spread it to others unknowingly.

      I am aware of this aspect, but all four of us would have to be non-symptomatic people, which I find highly unlikely; we just mask, vax, hand-wash constantly, and avoid crowds. I was certainly knocked on my ass by each vaccination. Other circumstantial evidence that we probably haven’t had it yet is that none of us have had a cold in 3 years either, thanks to our pandemic habits and precautions. It’s been great.

        Do your kids homeschool? You do guys work from home? I’ve gotten it twice, both times from my office. There are only like 10 of us in a hybrid office, but that’s still enough exposure.

          Wife works from home, and I go in a 2-3 times a week to a downtown office building, so I don’t lose my cube. Kids stayed home for the first year, but returned after that. They still choose to mask up at school, even though it’s no longer required - incredibly they don’t get bullied for it.

          They’re in baseball, hockey, and basketball sans masks this year though, so I brace for a covid impact whenever I see headlines about new surges. I’ve always assumed my kids would be our covid vector. I’m certainly tempting fate with these comments 😂
