Yes, I tested negative at the end of June.  Went without symptoms or known exposure just as a precaution before seeing my grandma.

No I have a strong (manly) immune system! I do not believe in the Kung Flu Chinese CCP virus.

I am sure people have been exposed like TB, it's a coughing disease, but not everyone gets tested, that's why they say stay home and social distance as much as you can.

It's a coughing and lung disease like TB, that's why shelters arent open to public anymore

Looking back I was certain I had it in mid-February. But I got an antibody test in early June that came back negative. That’s the only test I’ve had.

No and I don't think there is anyone particularly close to me who has either.

No, but almost, some of my family did, and some of my co-inhabitants (five of the seven, including me in the 7) did test. All negative however.

No.  My future mother in law got extremely sick back in March (checked the box for all symptoms and even had the yet-to-be-official systems of losing her sense of taste or smell), and she got her husband and son sick.  I got sick a day later (body aches and slept 13+ hours every night but not much else) after staying with them, but there were no tests available at that time.  You had to have been over 60, traveled within the last two weeks and have a fever above a certain level.

She and her husband have since tested positive for antibodies, so it's highly likely I have had it.  However, I have not been tested for antibodies and see no reason to make an appointment to go do so.  Even if I took out my more selfish reasons (my whole family faints at needles and it's not like a positive antibodies test affords you any privilege besides worrying less, and I don't worry about it to begin with), they are not accepting plasma donations from people who didn't have a verified positive COVID test (not antibodies) to begin with ... so no point.

Looking back I was certain I had it in mid-February. But I got an antibody test in early June that came back negative. That’s the only test I’ve had.

You absolutely could have still had it.  Our early antibodies tests were picking up false positives, so they made all of the tests super sensitive ... my girlfriend's unit at the hospital was giving antibodies tests to nurses, but they had to throw the whole test out because two LITERAL COVID patients who had recovered tested negative for any antibodies.  These tests have a very high cutoff, and I think they are turning up a bunch of false negatives.  From what a doctor who works with my girlfriend said, "If you are testing positive for antibodies, you are definitely immune.  However, if you are testing negative, you honestly still could be, too..."  Even if you had it and recovered but never needed to develop enough antibodies to show up in these tests, you would experience ridiculously mild effects from getting a mutated version again ... that's why kids are doing so well, kids get A Coronavirus like every winter, haha.

Never been tested so far. I doubt I ever had it, since I don't know anybody who was knowingly infected (or they didn't tell). At least not personally. It's unlikely anyone of my contacts were asymptomatic. Back in early July, my parents were tested negative, though, when they came back from a Greece vacation.

Two times, probably again soon for work. Negative both times, but the first time they stuck it way up my nose, the second time it was only the throat.

Tested negative for antibodies a few weeks ago.

Paid for the test myself.

No. My wife got sick with whatever tf it was I had back in the middle of May and got tested, but it was negative so I'm guessing I still probably haven't got it. No idea how.
