This was pretty much the only side effect of the vaccine I had. Lymph nodes in my arm pit swelled up a little. Otherwise head just felt a little like a hangover. Not even bad enough to take tylenol though. I never got tested so don't know if I've had covid or not. Never felt sick anyway
Yea, it doesnt matter how sick you got.
I think of it like, both you and your spouse gets the same bug, but one of you gets hit a lot harder than the other, and you may not even notice it, unless you see your spouse and their symptoms.
Theres no guarantee you had it, but it is likely.
More asymptomatic people out there than we'll ever know, and they really did little to check, because the virus is tougher to show in them first off, but the antibodies just werent checked in people.
We'll never know how many folks had COVID-19 because we just didn't do enough testing. After hub tested positive, I called to get my appointment for testing and the nurse told me that "We don't generally test spouses and just assume they have it." I told her that I don't like assumptions and that if I have COVID-19, I should be included in the statistics and assumptions are not counted. She sighed and gave me an appointment and I did test positive. Being asymptomatic, I was surprised but not shocked.
No, testing does NO good once the virus is gone.
The test will always come up negative.
We didnt do the right testing.
If you had waited a few weeks or maybe less, your test would have been negative.
If you showed no signs you didnt get tested, and in your case, it was rare, as the nurse said, they dont test asymptomatic people.
Youd have needed a blood test for the antibodies, and not the virus, which they did hardly any of.
I blew a gasket when this was the decision theyd made, and even early on,when they were doing such testing, the 'experts'said,because it wasnt a 'random, double blind' test, we couldnt get the at least fuzzy picture to guesstimate the approximate asymptomatic numbers, and EVERY 'expert' that was 'chosen' came against this.
It would have caused more problems for THEM, as they had declared asymtomatic infections to be the MAIN culprit in infections at the time, which we have since, and some knew then, as did I, that the asmptomatic were NOT that infectious, but the chosen 'experts' had made that claim

There was a time that testing asymptomatic people made sense, because it helped track the virus and gather information about how transmissable it is. By summer, that should have ended. Now we will never know the CFR and IFR for this virus because they are all lumped together.
That's not what I'm saying at all. We didn't do enough timely testing, period. To tell people, just assume you are positive was just wrong. Your spouse or kid or whatever tested positive, test the entire family and know who had what.
If I had gone to the HD and requested a test, because hub was positive - they would have tested. Doc's office said they were assuming it was positive. I said I don't like to assume and want to know one way or another. For one thing, had it turned up negative, my quarantine would have been up earlier. Also, I wouldn't have been worried about inadvertently exposing a couple of customers and a neighbor to COVID so there are plenty of valid reasons to test, test and test.
As far as timely testing goes, we're well aware of that. SIL had all the symptoms and had been exposed at a meeting she attended. Her provider decided she didn't need to be tested. Finally about 3 weeks laer, they begrudgingly tested her and, of course, at that point she tested negative. She's now had both C-19 doses, so no way to know if she ever had it or not. We believe she did as she had some pretty serious heart issues pop up at the time she was showing other symptoms but no way to know for sure.
Umm, actually it was 2 jabs.
We both got our 2 doses. A whole host of people I know who also had COVID-19 also got both their jabs. There is no guarantee that you won't get COVID-19 again or one of those "way cool" variants that are coming across our borders. There are incidental cases of people becoming infected with the variants, and in every case, those who have received both doses have very mild cases, requiring no hospitalizations and thus far, no deaths among those vaccinated who are infected with one of the variants.
If we are going to achieve bloody herd immunity, we all need to step up and take our jabs. Doesn't hurt and the vast majority of us have extremely light side effects. I had none from the first dose and was just extremely tired, slight headache and chills from the second. I can now drop the mask if I'm around other people vaccinated or go into a restaurant for a meal, spend the afternoon shopping, etc.
There's not a virus in history where herd immunity didn't naturally occur. If adults want the jab, go for it. I don't think we should be experimenting on children.
I'm willing to bet that there has never been a virus in world history that has caused more fear than this one.
