My family had Covid in January 2020. All of the now known symptoms but there were no tests available yet. Our doctor later confirmed it based on symptoms a couple of months later but we were not eligible for tests then. A year and a half later we would certainly have B-cells but antibodies would likely have faded. So what do people in that situation do?

Given that there's significant overlap between COVID symptoms and those of other common winter diseases, you really can't "confirm based on symptoms".

(My son had a bout of severe pneumonia around the same time. We wondered, too. Not COVID, it turns out.)

Therein lies a significant problem with "I don't need the vaccine, I have natural immunity!"

T-detect can apparently read your t-cells, so it would be good for a while I would say.

Get vaccinated. This isn't a political two-sided issue.
