It could be that she is one of those people who successfully fights off the virus before it becomes symptomatic but there is still a period of contagiousness and spread.


Most viruses you will find a certain percentage of people fight the virus off before they ever get symptoms. Even the most deadly virus known to man, which is rabies, one doctor who figured out a new protocol for treatment called the Milwaukee protocol, believes that about 20 to 25% of people exposed to rabies fight the virus off before it becomes symptomatic. When rabies becomes symptomatic it’s almost certain death.. only 7 are known to have survived. But a study was done in Peru in a community where people lived near bats and they found that some people had rabies antibodies without ever having been vaccinated.

It could also be that she did have some damage from it but it hasn’t shown up yet. It’s well-known now that covid can cause long-term damage.

As for you catching it while always masking maybe there was a time when you weren’t careful enough, maybe your mask isn’t the best mask such as n95. Masks are not 100%. You could still be exposed but the likelihood is much less likely. However if you are say having a long exposure to someone who is highly contagious, who is very close to you, and your mask is not sealed properly it can happen. If you’re not wearing an N95 your mask is not going to protect you as much obviously. I’m not sure when you had covid but each successive strain has become even more contagious.

I can say that I spent many hours while in hospital with my father, sometimes with Covid patients in the next room or across the hall. I always wore KN95 then and I never once contracted Covid at that time. That was post first two vaccinations. I contracted it in the very beginning when there was no vaccine and when they were lying about masks. Had I worn a mask and had they shut down when they should have which is about 3 to 4 weeks earlier I probably would never have gotten it. And I now have heart damage and long-term problems. My father died, he was exposed negligently at the er, pre-vaccination, when they decided to vaccinate young healthy people before him. He was infected one week before he would’ve been eligible for the vaccine.
