I take the set of vitamins we all talk about daily. I’m not a skinny guy but not a lardass either. My wife got Covid about 2 weeks ago. She had the usual classic symptoms… fever, slight chest burn, tired as fuck, heavy congestion, and no taste or smell. I’ve changed nothing in our daily lives/routine. We sleep in the same bed, hug, and snuggle up etc…. I’ve not gotten sick at all. No known previous infection. I thought this thing was so muuuh contagious. Anyone else experience this?
ivermectin helped my wife tremendously. We luckily have a pharmacy here that still fills it. It took 5 days to fully recover once she was on ivermectin.
There is a paper from 2020 that showed that about 80% of people have t cell recognition which stops the virus in the mucosal system. This results in little to no symptoms if an infection develops at all. So it is contagious, but probably you are just not susceptible.
Ahh thanks. I am going to do this in a few weeks and see if I get a result. https://www.t-detect.com/
Yes, I'm looking into getting that test done too, as a positive result would make my family feel better about by, um, non-conforming views on covid treatment (whinny).
The paper I referenced is this one

I don't know whether the T-detect test works the same way, they bill it as being a test of having had covid but I think people can have t-cell recognition without ever having been exposed.
The 80% result is backed up observationally by the "Diamond Princess" which had an infection rate of 19%, and 20% is also more or less the estimated household transmission rate. (For household transmission, it's an average - many households will have 100% transmission - but the average would be reflective of the population overall)
