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

I'm pretty sure my bodies just built different at this point, like I've had multiple people in my family catch it, multiple people in my house at uni and I tested pretty frequently even when I wasn't showing symptoms until they stopped giving the tests away for free, but I've not tested positive even once

I think this number is a lot lower than people may think. From personal experience I have had covid more than four times (not testing anymore), I was only actually symptomatic to any degree with the first one. By contrast, my partner has never once actually tested positive, despite certainly having it at least once, having caught it from me, and being very symptomatic. Some people shed a lot of the virus, and some people shed not any basically whatsoever, since the tests are based on actually shedding the virus, many people who simply don't shed the virus have caught covid-19 and simply don't realize it or won't ever test positive

Given how contagious omicron and later variants were, no one avoided covid without total isolation. At most you never tested positive.

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

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
