Eh, us old folk have so many aches and pains already we don't notice the difference. -- nm - Meg Jul 26, 13:18

- Avoiding early COVID is supposed to help put you in the clear for the worst long COVID now, according to theory. But still. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 13:16 7
  - Tested this morning. Still a virgin -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:17 6
    - Me too and me too. So of course I'm checking my COVID news with satisfied abandon. Heh. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 13:20 5
      - Do we really think we avoided it completely? Like maybe we did have it and no symptoms or very mild ones. -- nm - St. Epiphany Jul 26, 13:24 4
        
        I wouldn't have known I had it had I not tested. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:29
        
        The symptoms are what make bad COVID develop, according to theory. Bad symptoms, bad long COVID. No symptoms, long COVID has much less chance to develop. -- nm* - con_carne Jul 26, 13:29
        
        Yea this is what I think as well. Ive never tested + either. But I just feel like I must have had it and never knew it. - Jovian Jul 26, 13:27
        
        For that to be true it would have to be truly asymptomatic AND asymptomatic in at least one other person (my wife) who likely would have gotten it - oblique Jul 26, 13:26
