"Basically everyone has had covid"

No, actually. There have been enough covid infections that everyone *could* have had an infection. Plenty of people haven't had covid, while others have had it a stupid amount of time, and here's a poll to prove it

Have you had covid?

Definitely had covid
47.6%
Probably had covid
7.6%
Probably not had covid
24.4%
Definitely not had covid
20.4%

@eniko I say "probably" because it's hard to prove a negative, but I'd be very surprised if it turns out I've had it. If so, I definitely haven't noticed it, which seems odd.

@Tijn if you've never noticed anything and haven't been in a position where you could've gotten an asymptomatic infection (i.e. you know you were exposed but seemed fine) then you can probably vote "definitely not"

@eniko If it was a yes/no question, I've would have said no for sure.

@eniko @Tijn

This would have been me, but I've had symptoms of *something* lately that look an awful lot like long covid. If it really is that, then it would have had to come from my roommate or from a mask leak. I don't go out of my apartment without an N95 on because if my bipap got infected, it would keep reinfecting me indefinitely.

@Tijn @eniko "you can probably vote definitely" made me smile.
