  I've had several friends tell me they have had covid all who later say that the tests were negative. this is a form of mass hysteria of course. While true that tests can be wrong. It is unlikely that 100% of the people I know who have had it hav had negative tests. I personally don't know anyone who's had it and had a positive test. I know 2-3 that claim they've had it but test negative. Again this is extremely unlikely. We are in denial that other infectious diseases are scary and that it's not just covid.

    I have known many people that have had it. Not all were tested, and not all that were tested came up positive. I also know several people that have died from it. Directly; not hearsay. I live in New York. We've been dealing with this for a while now. Also, as is shown in this thread, just talking about it brings out the COVID-deniers, so this is the last post I'll make on the topic. Have a nice day.

      How can you be so sure anyone's had it without a positive test? The symptoms match a whole host of other viruses. Nevertheless, questioning the motivations of my cohort of friends who do not seem to have actually had covid is not an attempt to invalidate covids severity. Clearly it is a terrible illness. Regardless, we can recognize hypochondrism without invalidating the experience of people who actually have diseases.
