I felt the same way when my initial symptoms cleared up in about a week.

Then I got Bell's palsy which lasted for about a month. That wasn't fun.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people that think they never got it, but just had zero (or almost zero) symptoms and just never knew.

My son was born 4 months before the pandemic. Because he went to daycare me and my wife always felt like we had a cold or something. I tested and tested and tested even more. For me it was also really late (at least 2021, maybe even later) that one was positive. The actual thing was so much more mild than all those flu's and colds we had before.

Were you vaccinated?

This isn't a snarky setup question either cause if you were vaccinated that could explain why you barely felt symptoms.

I got it in August 2022 and tested positive the first day of a new job.

They had paid Covid leave, so my first week I was paid for staying home.

I felt like writing a strongly worded letter of complaint about false advertising but I didn’t know who to send it to

Fauci would be a good start
