Not had it... I'm out and about. I visit the post office daily in a busy shop and go shopping etc... I'm back and forth between our other house. There's been largely no difference to how life was before Covid arrived.

Missus had it... Caught from work, She's a nurse... No Hospital stay She's just had a second jab.

Youngest daughter 17 had it weeks later we think from college as she's a bright button and largely stayed out of the way of others... No Hospital.
 
A true symptomatic will never know unless they have a blood antibody test - and why would you do that at random? So several may have no idea they had it.

What is the objective of your poll? What do you want to find the answer to be - not what the answer may be.
You mention symptomatic, I had a figure suggesting over 11 million have had covid in the uk, possibly some didn't realise at the time they had the virus.

The reason most people have not had it is by being carefull not to mix but also lucky
not had a job where they come into contact with lots of infected people
ie hospital care home or close contact at work with other people children at school ect all unavoidable
not in an early hot spot

Well, we (the group I meet at the pub, ages 32-70) had something pretty shocking back Dec 19, cough that went on for weeks like never before, lethargy but not really any other symptoms, most recon they werent back to normal for anything up to three months. None of us has had anything since and one girl who flew to Jersey to see her BF was offered antibody tests that she paid for. The pr*ck test came back negative but they also had bloods out of her. She was contacted later the next day and was told there were antibodies in her blood so she had had it. She was asked to go in for more tests as they were trying to find out why the pr*ck test came back neg and bloods positive.

Been around for 3 years they reckon , variants have made it worse
 
Both wife and I were rough with something for a day or two in December. Just felt really tired and both had a viral rash. No cough that I can remember though.

I was working with patients face to face with confirmed covid back in February, and I didn't get it. Though I wear glasses and a mask and I am really really fastidious about hand washing all the time.

I believe there is a lot more asymptomatic people around than we think and that a lot more people have been exposed to the virus but didn't get a viral load large enough to make them ill.

Wasn`t tested at the time, blood tested through work later and had antibodies so had "it", or some variety of "it".
Donated convalescent plasma until my antibody level dropped below the required number according to NHS Blood & Transplant.
Had Janssen trial vaccine in Dec 2020 and my IgG, long term antibody memory, is now higher subject to further blood tests over the next 2 years.
Also done a trial for home blood testing kits that confirmed the presence of IgG antibodies.

They would have been testing and keeping sample pre Christmas and Not found it

some people would have has severe covid pre christmas if it had been around that early and the increase would have been earlier than March 2020
2021 wave that was set off in December was much earlier than 2020 wave that was set off in februarry
 
Sorry, I should have written December 2019.


Parents were the same around New Year 2019/2020.

But I don't really know if they had it - if they did I was exposed. My brother had Covid a few months ago - he got tested - and he was pretty rough. Took a long time to recover.

The vaccine certainly gave me a headache and was generally low for a few days. I have no idea what that means if anything.

I think everyone reacts differently to it, my agronomist who obviously deals/know lots of people, said some of his customers had been really quite ill and others been perfectly fine. Same with Corvid, said he had two who were really very ill and others who had just a mild cold type symptoms.
I did wonder if the vaccine reaction was in any way linked to having it but I was perfectly fine (and normally I keel over with the thought of needles etc!) I have also been on Vit D since early 2020 (which has had a noticeable effect)

Wife had the AZ vaccine 6 weeks ago and was rough for quite a few days, so we’re the 5 other Firefighters that had it the same day as her, some of them bedbound for 4 days 🤷🏻‍♂️
wife had her second on Sunday and she feels ok 👍🏻
I had my first one Sunday, neck went stiff and I ended up sleeping most of Monday afternoon which isn’t like me but I feel fine today 👍🏻
