My wife had it twice, just cold symptoms. One daughter 3 times, minor symptoms. Another daughter twice, no issues. Both sons tested positive twice, but never any symptoms. My 85+ year old parents had it while we were visiting, no symptoms. I've always tested negative, but with such exposure I'm certain I've had it and never had symptoms.

To think you'll never get it is ridiculous. You just may not show it.
