How confirmation bias might convince you that you've already had COVID-19, even if it's far more likely that you haven't
Many people had a cold or the flu sometime over the winter. When you look back, perhaps you’ve reflected on your own illness. And you may have wondered: Was that Covid-19?was starting to spread in the Pacific Northwest, we had a cold run through our household. All of us had a cold for a few days, and we’ve talked about whether that was actually Covid-19. We know that most people have mild cases of Covid-19 and many show no symptoms.
? The symptoms vary based on how severe each person’s case is. But maybe you experienced some of those symptoms. A cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, muscle soreness, a sore throat, loss of taste and smell, persistent difficulty breathing, and problems staying awake. Have you had any of those in the last few months? If you answer yes to any of these, then you may start to wonder what you actually had. This is one of the. You look at symptoms and worry that you have that disease.
Second, we start thinking about possible exposure. Do we know anyone with the coronavirus? Have you somewhere where someone with Covid-19 was? In my case, the answer to both these questions is yes. We have friends who have had Covid-19, and some are still fighting hard. In my work at my university, we were explicitly told to assume that most spaces on campus had exposure to the coronavirus.
And then we start really thinking that we’ve had Covid-19. I don’t know about you, but if I had a mild case two months ago, that would be fine. It would mean I had a mild case and that now I might be immune. I’d actually prefer that. I could stop worrying about catching and spreading Covid-19.
