Why some of us did not get COVID symptoms …even though we were exposed.

And maybe the earth and all other planets, moon's and stars are as well.

And there is no way to find out, not even now when we (NASA) sent a spacecraft into the suns orbit.

If what I'm walking on is flat, the earth is flat. :crazy:

Here's an interesting story.

Because of various delays and diversions my 13 y.o. son wasn't vaxxed. I'm not an anti-vaxxer, I was just waiting for the promised non mRNA vax to come out for him. I had concluded that (according to all the data being published) his risk was very low or non existent and the only reason for vaxxing HIM was to allow him to travel or otherwise go to restricted places.

As it happened, the non mRNA vaxx didn't become available by the time lockdowns started lifting and he was called back to regular school. His un-vaxxed status became a non-issue.

Once back to school I assumed he'd catch it and get over it fast. But he steadfastly refused to catch it (LOL). Then all his little classmates and friends (all of whom were obediently vaxxed) started catching it dropping like flies. Not dying - but getting quite sick, and having to stay away from class for a week. Even kids sitting next to him were succumbing. But not him.

How weird I thought. He must have a super strong immune system! OR, maybe he DID catch it, but was asymptomatic and shook it off fast?

In the end my curiosity got the better of me and I took him to a hospital covid test lab to have an antibody test. This would show if he had indeed caught it and had the antibodies to prove it.

The test came back negative.

To this day he has never had covid (no symptoms anyhow).

I can't explain it - but it sure amazes me!

I've never had any kind of bloodwork to determine whether or not I've had it, but before I flew to Bangkok last time I needed a negative PCR test, which I obtained the day before.  If I ever had COVID, I couldn't tell. 

 

Anyway, I haven't really thought much about it lately.  I'm 73 yers old, and I can count on three fingers the number of times I've had a complete physical exam since I last visited a pediatrician at around age 12.  From time to time I've had some bloodwork, which is always 100% normal, and I've had routine eye care because I was nearsighted.  And routine dental care.  That's about it.

A PCR test only tells you if you're currently infected - not if you were infected previously.

An antibody test is necessary for that.

Most people wouldn't bother.

Including me.  The only reason I had the PCR test was because the airline required it at the time.  July 2022.
