    I have no idea how I haven’t gotten covid. For the first year or so I was getting brain swabs and blood tests weekly for work. Never positive. And since then if I was infected, I would have to be 100% asymptomatic. Other than hangovers, I’ve felt pretty good since the pandemic started.

    As far as I know, I’ve never had covid. I’ve felt healthier these past three years wearing a mask than I have in a long time. No flu, no cold, nothing.
