My wife and I were never vaccinated, nor do we get flu shots every year. I had COVID back in 2020 and it was like a mild case of the flu that lasted three days. And then poof, it was gone. My wife also had it in 2021, and it went away after a week.
Since then, neither one of us has had so much as a sniffle. I used to get the flu every couple years, and my wife used to get it every year. But since 2020, neither one of us has even had a cold.
People who have a particular genetic variant are twice as likely to never get sick when they contract COVID-19, researchers said on Wednesday, offering the first potential explanation for the lucky group dubbed the "super dodgers".
Those who have two copies of the variant are eight times more likely to never get any symptoms from COVID, according to the study in the journal Nature.
Previous research has suggested that at least 20 percent of the millions of COVID infections during the pandemic were asymptomatic."
First genetic clue why some people do not get sick from COVID
