You may have had it and just been asymptomatic. Or have you tested every single day since March 2020?

I haven't had it yet. I've volunteered at a vaccination centre and obviously had my jabs. I've been to gigs and met people. I've done my best to socially distance, worn masks,amd tested regularly but, but how the levels are currently, I'm sure its just a matter of time before I catch it.

I'm glad you're ok. But a vaccine offers a hell of a lot better protection than echinatia and ginseng.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist at all.

If you read he thread, some are saying the haven't actually had covid and the response has been probably no symptoms so therefore if that's the reasoning the surely it can be said that everyone has had covid but some show the symptoms but the majority don't.

I've not knowingly had it and am grateful for that and the 3 vaccine doses which should ideally have kept symptoms at a more palatable level. Known few people who have had it, including family members who died early on.

I had a suspected case early on (before testing rolled out to the public), but a year after that a negative antibody test. So I'm not sure. (I was sick as a dog with something)

I know I've not had it between October 2020 and now - and I do laugh when people say that it's inevitable I'll catch it. Sure. Maybe if I forget everything I know and act as if the virus doesn't exist? (But if I do that, maybe the personality change has been so abrupt that I should be evaluated for having had a stroke)

Yup, possible.

But the odds are reduced dramatically if you take precautions. It's not in any way inevitable that everyone will get it.

I tested positive this morning for the very first time, had a sore throat since Thursday evening and put it down to the dust that had worked in for the past few days. Last night started to feel more flu like, tested myself this morning as I was going to my parents for lunch.

On another note, a local club had one of its regular nights last night and see lots went. I cant help wondering how many will be positive in the coming days.

I am not an expert on any of this but anyone with some common sense can see it has and will continue to affect everyone differeny. Thats why it's nice to see people are talking about social responsibility. For me it has always been about the protection of the vulnerable. If I can behave in a way that minimises the risk to them, just like I did rhroughout, whether keeping some distance or whatever else I can do to keep that risk to a minimum, it is the morally right thing to do. Others may disagree but the thought that I could possibly put someone at risk does not sit right with me so I will continue to do whatever I believe is right. Others may choose yo behave differently and its up to them as long as they respect my choice and a little bit of my personal space.

Had it in January for the first time,quite tired and weak,but definitely had worse flu's,I'm unvaccinated.

I work with a lot of people,and vaccinated vs unvaccinated differs in severity,a lot of people who caught covid who were vaccinated were more ill than some that were unvaccinated.

I genuinely think it's down to an individuals immune system how bad they get,the above that I mentioned seems to show that....and there's hundreds where I work.

I live with someone who had it, came in coughing over me while I did his covid test for him (all while he was coughing into the room).

The test was positive and he was very ill in bed for days, but I didn't get any symptoms or test positive.

A few months later I spent Christmas with 4 people who had it and started feeling unwell on my way home, three days later. I tested positive that evening and isolated so I didn't infect anyone else.

I was nowhere near as ill as the people who had had one or no vaccinations. I'd have thought I had the usual cold if it wasn't for the legs like lead, and muscle pain when I tried to walk.

Asymptomatic spread is a theory. Not a fact. There is a difference. You should really have said a third of people are thought to be. Instead of saying that they are. You should also be aware that the tests can be very unreliable and produce lot's of false positives when used at a high cycle threshold. 40-45 cycles will do that.

"Not knowingly had covid? You may have had it and just been asymptomatic, like a third of infected people are. Unless you've tested every single day since March 2020? Even then, there's the false negative element. Such an insidious virus on so many levels. Asymptomatic spread is a theory. Not a fact. There is a difference. You should really have said a third of people are thought to be. Instead of saying that they are. You should also be aware that the tests can be very unreliable and produce lot's of false positives when used at a high cycle threshold. 40-45 cycles will do that.

I agree with everything you've said. Point being, I wasn't talking about 'spread'. I think asymptomatic spread is very unlikely.

In a recent East African study, of the 71 participants who tested positive for COVID and were later confirmed to have the Omicron variant, 27 per cent were asymptomatic. Similar European studies have shown similar asymptomatic rates. Think it's safe to say it's (approximately) a third.

I can't unfortunately as it is against the site rules, unless a site like the BBC, BMJ etc. However, a not laborious Google search should take you there. The highest quality evidence on asymptomatic carriers was derived from two large surveys conducted in England and Spain. The English study identified a prevalence of 32.4% compared with 33% in the Spanish study. Based on these results, the authors estimated that prevalence of asymptomatic carriers is likely to be around a third. 426,000 people in the study. Again, a not laborious Google search should take you there.

Finally, Florida University looked at 350 papers and over 350 papers, they estimated that more than one-third of infections are truly asymptomatic. They found evidence of greater asymptomaticity in children compared with the elderly, and lower asymptomaticity among cases with comorbidities compared to cases with no underlying conditions.

As the font of all knowledge, is it not possible that you're occasionally incorrect and there are people around who haven't actually had it or asymptomatic either?

I have several friends who have tested at least 4 times a week and they're never had the virus at all. Never had time off, time away from work and in fact, apparently never had so much as a sniffle since November 2019. I don't think anyone can say to them that they've actually had it or tested negative even falsely unless you're actually saying that absolutely everyone has had it, without exception, tested or not.

And that's safe to say that isn't everyone so therefore because someone says they haven't had it, why then quip and say not knowingly or you could have and been asymptomatic? Is it impossible to accept that, BY YOUR OWN FACTS, that two thirds haven't had it?

Well, first of all, I've never said that I'm the 'font of all knowledge' and, secondly, if you'd bothered to property read what I wrote, you'd understand that I merely said that, where people think they may never have had covid, it MAY be the case that they actually did have it and were asymptomatic abd/or had a false negative test result.

That still leaves plenty of scope for some people to have never caught it.

You know very well that I have never said 'absolutely everyone has had it, without exception, tested or not'.

Yes, there's a small risk they could be. Do you have evidence that there's no such thing as false negative test results?

I glean mine from Imperial College, London who say lateral flow tests will miss a proportion of people who are infectious, particularly during the early stages of infection.

This means that using them as a ‘green light’ test, for example to go and visit a vulnerable person, could be providing false reassurance.

This is because, unlike PCR tests, lateral flow tests cannot detect very low levels of coronavirus in a sample. This means the test may not give a positive result if you have only recently been infected; are in the incubation period; or if you have mostly recovered.

We'd heard (from a credible source) that lft s are pretty accurate...when testing negative yet have covid, its not gone up the nose or throat enough or not been in the solution enough...which makes sense

That's a correct statement. I previously said no test is 100% reliable, even those who meet regulatory standards for performance and safety. PCR tests are more reliable than lateral flow tests,but not 100% accurate.

Well... According to ons 1 in 15 have it this week. Its relatively easy to think at that rate... After 15 weeks... That most will have had it at least once. As we've been doing this dance for more than 100 weeks... It seems a reasonable assumption to think most will have had it... Not sure why its inflaming people though. If people are "catching" something and it's not making them ill... That's good isn't it?

You make a good point. And with the benefit of hindsight as more things are seen to be a consequence of "lockdown" or equally a consequence of covid infection or vaccine or tests track and trace, it may be possible to judge if that is what people want to do. It's also possible, though we never will know, that some or all of the above helped. Nobody has a time machine so all we can do is push on and be the best we can be.

I’ve managed to avoid it so far although that be said I don’t do daily testing. A couple of my colleagues have had it so I suspect some of us have but not realised.

We are both pretty much back to normal, I've worked full time right through, Paul only recently back abroad as was WFH.

Been on holiday, all good.

I'm still testing 4 times a week but so far, so good.

Triple jabbed and only had mild symptoms when 10 days positive.

Trying not to make a drama out of a crisis.

Hope everyone stays fit and well, jabbed or not.

You are all over 18 and have enough information to make a decision.

I am sorry you lost people, but elderly and vulnerable people died of flu every year despite vaccines. Yet the whole country was not crippled with lockdowns to protect the same demographics"

After all this time and people are still saying this. The scale of how many people had Covid and died from it , is totally different to Flu. Imagine how many more would have died if there was no lockdown

Did they die OF Covid or WITH Covid? It seemed the NHS was putting Covid down on everything for some reason, how many thousands in the Covid death figures should not have been?

Unfortunately some people will never be persuaded otherwise, despite the science

I'm looking forward to all the savings when we close oncology centres. We've solved the cancer crisis. With cancer not of cancer!

Terrorism no longer exists. With terrorism, not of terrorism! (Maybe we should pay enormous restitution to all those countries we invaded, because probably a lot of those terrorist victims died because they were fat, old, and didn't take their supplements)
