Haha it took me 3 (almost 4) years to finally catch it :(
Same. I was so (oddly) proud of my streak. Then my spouse brought it home from a meeting with friends : P
I was proud too. I was starting to think either I was an asymptomatic carrier or I was immune unlike the rest of you peasants with weak immune systems. My wife had it and I took care of her the entire time she was sick, and I never got it.
I was in the ICU COVID wing for weeks when my dad got sick (immuno compromised lung transplant situation:( ). I still never got it.
But alas, I guess I had just been lucky. I got it after last thanksgiving. The only one in my family to. My wife and baby never got it from me either. It's such a weird sickness in that sense.
For what it's worth I was all vaccinated and up to date. As soon as I was able to get each round I did. I wore a mask for a little longer than most people but haven't really worn one for a year or so? Honestly don't remember when I stopped. I wore one again when my baby was born for a few months.
Finally got it for the first time last week, tested positive on my wedding day 😭
Damn that sucks. Really reinforces the part of the vow "in sickness" though.
