I had what I presume to be Covid in March 2020 as well. No one was testing in AZ at the time except in hospitals and I wasn’t that sick anyway. I heard Kroger was doing rapid antibody tests and stopped by tonight to get one for $25. The guy testing me said it had been too long since my illness and the test would be negative, but since I already paid for it, I went ahead and got it.

Well, it came back negative. He told me the antibodies only last 2-3 months, which makes no sense at all because you’d have to get the vaccine every 2-3 months too then, right? So either I never had it, even tho I had the classic symptoms, or it was a mild case or it’s been so long that the IgG and IgM antibodies are undetectable.

I just find it curious that hubby works in a restaurant, gets tested regularly, and has never contracted the virus even tho some of his colleagues have. If it was so contagious, you’d think we’d have gotten it after 16 months.

Anyway, I’m just gonna keep doing what’s been working for me: eating a healthy diet and keeping my BMI under 25; taking my vitamins (especially C, D, zinc, and Quercetin); following common sense precautions like social distancing, frequent hand washing, and wearing a mask when required; and avoiding sick ppl.

I refuse to live my life in fear, especially since Covid is far from a death sentence in healthy individuals. However, I don’t plan on getting the vaccine anytime soon, if at all.

“ If it was so contagious, you’d think we’d have gotten it after 16 months.”

———————————————————

The day before I presented symptoms I was in a room full of coworkers, a former cancer patient across from me and a kidney transplant patient next to me at the conference table.

So much for the disproven theory of asymptomatic transmission, right? I suspected it was a scare tactic and yet we have to live with that BS to this day.
