Yeah people are confusing subclinical disease with not ever having it. Outside of total extreme isolation you had it at some point. You didn't know you had it. You were in denial about having it. But you had it.
Tests are not 100 percent sensitive. Or many people just chose not to test themselves. But if you were interacting with the general population in the past 3 years you have had covid.
I don't think my entire family that spans from toddler to elderly would all be asymptomatic and show false negatives on RATs, but I guess it's possible.
But also is cross-immunisation. So…one could have had something other than Covid-19 and still be immune to it. Then there are also the genetic outliers that are just naturally immune to the attack-vector of the virus.
This is just multiple ways of saying what I said. Outside of some extreme outliers every person has come in contact with the virus. But that doesn't always translate to extreme illness or even mild illness. As you said some people are naturally resistant or have other means of a defense that doesn't lead to a significant illness after exposure.
So really the more accurate thing to say is that you never got sick from your covid exposure. Again you have to divide this further into those who genuinely have never had cold like symptoms since 2023 and those who are just in denial about it. I've come across a few people who proudly claim they've never had it but have shown up to work coughing and hacking. Lol sure you haven't.
I think that depends on what you mean by "having it". Does having any amount of the covid-19 virus flowing through your body automatically mean you have it? Because the amount of the virus you have been exposed to is an important factor in whether or not you are impacted by it. Also if you aren't impacted at all, but had what basically amounts to a microdose of the virus did you have covid?
It would be good to know what the medical definition is for this. I don't actually know personally.

Whats extreme isolation to you? The person at the grocery store still wearing a mask and cleaning with hand sanitizer at the car?

I have always been an outlier i don't get shit, never even had a headache or a broken bone. I think I might be the reluctant messiah
