All evidence considered together, I think the odds I HAVE had Covid and recovered are about 75-80%.
Same here. My dad had it and we didn’t know it was Covid until he was almost through being contagious. I’m assuming that I got it and didn’t show any symptoms.The lack of knowledge on symptoms was really something early on. My girlfriends' parents' and brother all got sick about two days after we spent the night at their place, and at the time (like 3/22?), the message was "dry cough and a fever or you don't have it." Slowly, they started adding things, like feeling tired, body aches and even a loss of smell.
My girlfriend's mom got denied a test due to not being over 60 (had the other three boxes checked), but two different doctors labeled her an "unofficial positive" and said she'd almost certainly test positive if given a test. She still hasn't regained her sense of smell.
The next week, I had body aches and was sleeping like 12-13 hours per night and still was hard to wake up, haha. At the time, I didn't think that much of it - I was being a lazy POS during quarantine at my parents' house. Looking back, considering my contact with my girlfriends' parents (not to mention having recently taken public transportation, dating an ICU nurse and having a dad who came home from a hospital every night) and the symptoms I had, I'm pretty certain I had it.
I'm still very careful out and about and practice good hygiene habits, but I would be lying if I said it hasn't eased my mind quite a bit. It sucks there isn't a good antibodies test yet, or my girlfriend says she would take it and volunteer to work on the COVID unit every night (rather than occasionally, as called) if she tested positive. It seems too few people realize how much EVERYTHING - reopening the economy, relaxing quarantines, slowing the spread, etc. - relies on improving our testing situation.
