I just recovered from it.

I'm pretty sure I got it walking out of a grocery store. I was wearing a mask, and was walking by another older man who was also wearing a mask and standing at the exit. He was hacking and coughing so hard that the mask did nothing. I tried to hold my breath as I got until I got outside, but it was to no avail. About four days later, I developed flu like symptoms. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how smart or "dumb" you are, anyone can get it.

We may have an effective vaccine now, but it will be another six to nine months before you can go to your doctor and request the series as a normal person.

There's also such a thing as ocular transmission to consider, maybe that was a factor in your case:

Did you have any conjunctivitis-like symptoms?

[danmg]

No. I didn't have the taste and smell sensory symptoms either.

I did have hive like blistering down my left thigh though.

Did you socialize face-to-face in the week before falling ill?

[danmg]

I wore a mask around other people, and attempted not to cross paths with others.

Did you get tested and verify it was COVID? Just making sure because sometimes commenters claim they had it but never actually got tested haha.

[danmg]

Yes. I got a PCR test that came back positive.
