You can change your vote if you get it.
No "I died" option?
That was an oversight. Let us know if you died.
Is this Heaven?
If it is, pray for immortality.
I voted asymptomatic. My wife had it and I was exposed to her for over a week before she started showing symptoms from when we know she was exposed. I find it very hard to believe I wouldn't have contracted it, but I did not get tested.
If I was her I'd vote "I should probably have gone to the hospital" as her case was pretty bad. My brother had covid too and for him, I'd probably vote the same thing.... and his wife was also totally asymptomatic.

I think some people manage to not get it from their spouse, it's one of the mysteries.
I had something in spring which didn't feel like a cold. Just sore throat and some coughing. Very mild symptoms, a normal year I would hardly have registered it. I treated it like Covid-19 when it came to isolation etc, but I was never tested.
AFAIK, I haven't had it.
Health authorities asked that my daughter get tested. She had no symptoms & obviously tested negative. Visiting the testing center was my closest exposition to the disease.
The likelihood is low but I strongly suspect I had it early last year before the UK started taking it seriously. For sure I had something that messed up my breathing severely (couldn't even walk without being out of breath), made my gf lose her sense of taste and smell, knocked my mam off work for a few days, etc...
No proof it actually was corona however.
I have been tested three times, and they all came back negative. So far :ph34r:

I guess... but in my brother's case it's just not believable his wife didn't get it. He got it from his son (who tested positive too but was asymptomatic). Their son is 3 and is constantly climbing over them and everything else, drooling on everyone and everything, etc.

If your gf lost taste and smell likelihood is actually very high.
While not everyone infected loses those senses, those who do overwhelmingly test positive.
Neither me or anyone in my close family got it (that we know of).
I have 3 friends that had it (and ultimately, everyone in their household was infected). One was asymptomatic, one had a nasty flu equivalent, and the other had a "should've gone to the hospital" case (but this was April and hospitals were overloaded). He lost 9 Kg during the illness.
Oh, also, my cousin's wife's great aunt, as well as a friend of mine's stepfather, have both died from it.
For the longest time I suspected I had it in February. Fever, persistent cough, fatigue, so sore a throat I could barely sleep.
However my boss got similar if milder symptoms back then and when he got the real thing in November it messed him up pretty badly. He's still barely functioning.
Some of my relatives have had it. Oddly enough, it was my 30something cousins who got it the worst. They were bedridden for two weeks. Although having three very yuoung children would probably do that anyway.
My brother in law's family out in Morocco got it, like the whole extended family. Nobody really sick but the lack of smell and taste was very offputting. Which I imagine it would be.

I managed not to get it from my spouse. We slept in the same bed while she was coughing up a storm, so I have no idea.
...I wouldn't believe it except that I have multiple negative antibody tests.
My wife tested positive. Totally asymptomatic.
I was tested twice, both negative. Up until her positive test we shared the same bed and everything.
CB and I both did. In both our cases the symptoms were mild, a day of headaches and a couple days with a chest cold.
nah. Nothing so far (knock on wood)

There was a case in Hong Kong where the husband didn't get it from his wife.
Turns out the husband had a, hmm, male friend. The husband and wife rarely saw each other.
Back in mid December two of my officers hospitalized. One of them was touch and go for a bit. They are still recovering. Six others, mild symptoms.

Yeah, it's not flu, as of yet we don't know how long the consequences last; how long might long covid prove to be?

John pick Janet's up on her poor bucket carrying skills, because he was a deeply insecure man, who couldn't live in the modern world and so need to find someone else to blame for his failings.
John said to Janet "I didn't pick you up on your below average bucket carrying skills, because this whole silly episode of having to fetch water from a well on a hill is entirely my fault.
I'm going to take you home and phone the water company to arrange a mains water supply to our remote cottage, no matter what the cost is, because I love you"
Not Jack and Jill???
Got it back in april iirc, the wife never got it. Took me a little while to get back to normal. I need to stop smoking.
