@pezmico answered "once" but honestly I don't know.
We were sick with *something* in March 2020 but there wasn't testing available outside of hospitals then. I've never tested positive for it despite regularly testing since summer 2020 so I might not have ever had it.
I've been vaccinated as much as I've been able to, and I'm still masking. If I've actually never had it I think I've been very lucky.
@edchivers @pezmico same -- i *think* i had it in late january/early feb 2020, but there's no way to be sure. and the only reason i suspect it was covid is because after one of my shots -- might have been the 2nd or 3rd -- i felt the same weird feeling in my head and a bit achey that i did when i was sick that time. to a lesser degree, but it was totally the same.
and i very, VERY rarely get sick, so to have been that miserable was somewhat remarkable.
about a year ago, my husband got a bad case of it. we isolated; i used the guest bedroom and bath, and stayed in different parts of the house, masking if we were both on one floor or the other. i never got sick, and the tests i took never showed positive either. super weird.
so i guess my vote would be once, but only maybe.
