As far as I know, my young kid and I have never caught it. My husband caught it at a birthday party the three of us all attended. We were in close proximity with my husband the three day before he finally tested positive andy kiddo and I tested multiple times and never tested positive.
Part of me wants to believe my kiddo and I are just incredibly lucky and never caught it, but more likely we are just asymptomatic carriers.
