I’ve been infected with SARS-CoV-2 once I know of from June 2022 on:
the cause of the long covid that now defines my daily existence.
I suspect once more in March or April 2020 — but of fucking course, at that time the public could not access covid tests!

Every ignorant person who asserts they’ve never had it
could have been ASYMPTOMATIC
(that they noticed / wanted to notice / were in a position to consider it amid whatever went on in their lives at the time).

Absolutely no one can say they were never infected unless they were a
complete 24/7 no-cheat hermit
and / or covid testing
correctly at least once daily, *every single morning* from November 2020 to now.

And guess what else?
The (rapid lateral flow) antigen tests probably haven’t been updated to the latest strains in a while.

Good luck if you do have Covid 19 but can’t get time off work!
The (possibly expired) disposable test may not pick up new strains as reliably as older ones, which won’t be circulating as much as newer ones.

Please get your influenza vaccination.
Please get your coronavirus booster jab.

Please accept every vaccine available to you at recommended intervals.
If you’re anti-vaxx, then go look up side effects for the pathogens you don’t mind harbouring.
I’ll wait.
