Highly unscientific etc, but from what I can see in Sweden RN it feels like 95% has had it by now.

How do you want it to be more scientific? Make the answers Y Es and N O?

Not to my knowledge but it's highly possible I just didn't know I had it

Same as AA. Had a nasty thing in Feb 2020 which was probably it, but I'll never know. If I've had it since then I've been asymptomatic.

To the best of my knowledge, no. And that goes for all 4 of us. I mean it's possible if it was asymptomatic but you would of thought at least one of us would of shown some signs of it.
The health agency did have us down as having had it for one reason or another though, so the stats say we had.

I'm not sure how I haven't had it yet, especially considering the boy had it last year. I thought me and the wife would definitely get it then, but nope. Then seeing her family at Christmas, they all tested positive a day later and once again, we didn't get it.

Positive PCR test Jan 2021, asymptomatic. Followed by antibody test March 2021 that showed zero antibodies. So fuck knows. More convinced I had it in December 2019 before it was a thing.

Until December last year I didn't know a single person who had it, let alone got it myself. I feel like I'm missing out.

Had it earlier this month. Rough as bugger on the night before I tested with shakes and fever. After that it was mild symptoms like when you know a cold is on the way but not quite full swing yet; Scratchy throat, not quite feeling right, starting to cough.
Been negative now since 8th Feb and still have a cough I can't shake.

Possibly. Had a nasty cold over Christmas that might have been Covid. I likely caught it from my brother/sister-in-law. They both had something during the week before Christmas, but did tests before coming and just before leaving to visit her family. All those were negative, but we all know how reliable those tests are.
It felt like a fairly normal cold, although a bit heavy than most. Still only really peaked for about 24-48 hours. It did linger for a long time though, leaving me with a cough for a good 3 weeks or so. Had only just had my booster a few days before, so that likely hadn't taken full effect yet. If it was Covid, I might have had it slightly worse than I would have a week later, but it certainly wasn't too bad for me.
As I say, not sure if it was or not though. There was a lot of talk at the time that half of all colds were actually Covid, although I also suspect that some of that messaging was about trying to get people to come forward for testing.

I've been tested loads over the past 2 years. Recently two of my housemates got it and I couldn't move out as I wfh plus I've got nowhere to go lol. So I was living on top of them and I did a LFT every other day and a PCR. My tests have always been negative which is odd because I'm sure I've had it on two occasions, but yeah tests all negative so who knows. I'm triple vaccinated, 2x Astra's 1x Moderna

The "No" option should be renamed "Don't know" - there's no way of knowing that you've never had it. And given asymptomatic cases are generally estimated at somewhere around a quarter/third/half, it's not like having it without knowing it is some crazy edge case. Particularly given that's age-relevant too and most people here are under 60 so if they have caught it would be particularly likely to never even notice.

Had it in October. Was double vaxxed at the time (had third later). I've never known lethargy like it, I spent three days just lying there, completely conscious but barely able to move or open my eyes. Didn't really have any other symptoms at all and don't remember feeling particularly miserable to be honest. It was like three days of forced rest. No question of getting any work done though.
No resemblance at all to any flu I'd ever had before. Neither worse nor better - it was just not like the flu for me, but I don't know how much the vaccine was keeping certain symptoms away that might have been more flu-like. I dread to think what it would have been like without the vaccine, I reckon I would have gone down hard.
I later had side effects to my third dose (which was Pfizer vs. my first two Astras) and it was exactly like the symptoms of real Covid, just milder. Had to take a day off work for that too.

Eerily similar to my experience. I was a bit more energetic (I managed to watch a lot of great movies ... and Black Panther) but as you say. Not at all like the flu, not worse though. Also had a day of sleep after my booster which was different than my first two shots. |

One of the reasons I think I've had it is because I get lethargic attacks like that. Like I don't get gradually more tired, I'll suddenly get hit by like a wall of unreal tiredness and be so zapped I just have to lie in bed and kind of drift in and out of sleep.
But I found that lethargy is also a symptom of another problem I have, so again, don't know not sure.

I had it in December just as Omicron was getting underway. I sneezed more than usual, thought it was allergies, but took a test to be on the safe side and it came back positive. Lasted 2 days, pretty mild cold really, just had to blow my nose a lot.
After the second dose of vaccine I did get the proper shakes all night though, that was way more like the flu.

I had Omicron, but I was just a little sleepy and achy for a couple days.

I've had it twice - OG in December '20 and then alpha delta? in October '21 (after being double vaxxed)
First was entirely asymptomatic. Second I was *really* tired & fluey for a few days.

Delta kicked my arse for 4 or 5 days. Can't say I'm in a hurry to repeat it but it wasn't the worst I've felt when ill. It was just different.

Had Delta and I felt fine to begin with, then after a week it kicked my arse during the nights, coughing fits and all that. Nasty. I was weeks away from getting omicron dammit.
The worst I've felt during all of this was a flu type thing in Dec 2019/Jan 2020. Bedridden for over a week. Still wonder if that was Covid or not.

AZ jab one: Horrendous headache 24 hours later, which lasted for a few hours.
AZ jab two: No side effects.
December 2021, just before booster was due: Got Covid. Different symptoms every day for a couple of weeks. Still can’t taste properly. The then nine year old had it, and was probably the one who gave it to me; her mum never tested positive, throughout daily LFTs and several PCRs for work, but did lose her taste for about a day.
Moderna booster: Knocked me about pretty bad. Tired for several weeks after.

Had it before the UK counted lost of taste and smell as a symptom. Lost both for a whole month and its still not back to how it was years later.

Needs a Maybe option. I had a week of fatique, muscle aches and chills around the start of April 2020, shortly after having close contact with someone who had been to Cheltenham races, and someone who was very ill with loss of taste/smell. No testing then, and nothing since. So I'd hedge on yes....
