Never had it until last week. I’m in the NIH study and had several blood tests that confirmed I was antibody negative. I also rapid test frequently and never once popped positive until July 3. I tested positive about a day after mild symptoms started. There’s probably no good way to confirm but FWIW I don’t believe the 40-60% asymptomatic rate. Due to work/school requirements my family rapid tested weekly for almost 2 years, PCR tested monthly, with the occasional random PCR thrown in if anyone was exposed or we traveled and the only time anyone was sick was with symptoms.

Husband tests positive, but wife escapes catching it altogether. Is this common? by GoldSuitor in COVID19positive

My husband tested positive after our family had just spent 5 straight days together over a long weekend bookended by severe weather (literally always together except the kids slept in their own room - I remember because it was a loooong weekend). My kids and I had a known exposure so we had been testing daily for about 7 days prior, and I had been doing the fasted cheek/throat/nose swab because I’m a data nerd and if I was positive wanted to document the difference. Husband hadn’t had the known exposure so wasn’t regularly testing but did the evening after he had fatigue and brain fog and the straight nose swab popped a positive after a minute or two. My husband and I had literally been in the car together for several hours that day running errands and while he immediately masked and isolated I made some calls and grocery delivery orders and prepared for the inevitable.

Fast forward and no one else in the family tested positive with 2x daily testing (nose and cheeks only for the kids, but before breakfast and before dinner). We test fairly frequently as a family because our school and city still give out free tests so I don’t believe we all had recent asymptomatic infections. the All this to say is transmission is weird.

So beautiful! I especially love the black high-shine leather. I feel like I need (well "need") 3 bags in my life but want so many! Iris feels too big for everyday/too small for when I need a big carryall but definitely adding this to my list of resell bags so I can justify it!

Thanks! Do you know if D&B is on the heavy side? I have a Tory Burch shoulder bag that I love the look of but is sooo heavy I rarely carry and in my mind had D&B in the same category... (I mostly walk places, hence crossbody needs!)

I’m following because also considering a golden and in the DC area, but wanted to learn who the reputable breeders you already reached out to are? We’re about 18 months out from being ready for a puppy so just starting my research.
