Well ... myself and the DW are both in our 70's and we don't want to even catch the "regular flu" ... so we get flu shots every fall and RARELY have caught any flu over the years.
HOWEVER - our fall 2019 flu shots notwithstanding - this past January we both picked up a NASTY FLU on our winter RV trip to Arizona that apparently our flu shots didn't cover. We don't ever want to go through anything like that again!
Why anyone, young or old, would play games and hope to luck out on not picking up this dangerous coronavirus bug ... has gotta be nuts! :S
It's possible that you had the virus. I'm sure I had it and several other people I know had it. That was back in December/January. It was very much like the flu, but with a serious upper respiratory complication that put it apart from the "normal" seasonal flu. I was tested for the flu A&B, both negative, and pneumonia, also negative. They didn't know what it was, but I'm pretty sure I know now.
