CORONA Covid and Natural Immunity

So it's no secret here DD works for Starbucks in L.A. They had to close her store (one of several) because of so many employees having Covid. She is able to get some hours at other locations but not enough for her needs, so she had a job interview today with another coffee place. Of course this morning, her boyfriend tested positive for Covid (at her house). She emailed the person she was interviewing with and explained and asked if he would be open to an online interview so we'll see.

It's been really bad in L.A. but finally seems to be slowing down. She and her roommates are all vax'd and boosted. Roomies both had Covid at Christmas time. She didn't get it. At least 5 of her coworkers had Covid. She didn't get it. She has never had any symptoms but being exposed so many times has been tested multiple times and has to take a rapid test every week for school. She texted me about her BF this morning.

She was super sick in December 2019. At the time she worked for a local time share resort and had mostly international travelers. She and all of her team got something. At the time no one knew what it was but she was the sickest I've ever seen her. I never got sick and never have to this day. I'm vax'd but not boosted and no plans to do so. I don't go out much so if I was to get Covid I would actually be a little surprised.

I am wondering if DD had Covid and is immune or if having it then vax'd and boosted, provided even more immunity. I know the vax doesn't prevent you from getting it but it's just odd- in a good way- she has never gotten it (or did she in 2019). I don't want to start a pro or anti vax thread, just some ramblings about how random it seems that some people get it and some don't.

I appreciate your observations and wish your dear daughter all the best in her job interview.
I too wish to know about natural immunity.
Is it possible to test for it?
I was exposed to students in my class and coworkers in the fall of 2019 who were horribly sick from what we all thought was the flu. And again in February 2020.
By the time I took sick it was in early March.
My symptoms did not fit in the accepted symptoms of C19 at that time. The symptoms were added to the list in the fall of 2020.
My primary care doctor said there was no way to test for natural-immunity.

I know someone (vaxxed and boosted) who got Covid mid November. Bad cold symptoms.

She has it again now.

I was surprised her natural immunity wasn’t longer.

I've been exposed multiple times by tenants since we came bck from the South American cruise back in early 2019 (March?).

I've likely been exposed while out in public at least as many times since then.

We've never quarantined or don't anything special that wasn't absolutely required of us by law. Most of the time I never even wore a mask, just let their stupid little social monitors follow me around like idiots. We've traveled during this time as well.

I have yet to have the first symptom. We are a family of six with my oldest adult son staying here as often as he stays at his condo depending on his work schedule etc.

No one in our immediate household has come down with covid, nor had symptoms of covid ... that's with 2 health care workers, a barista, and my youngest who works directly with the public at a carwash.

Everyone in the house is either O+ or O- and haven't done anything particular for covid as we already took D3 and a few other things for other health reasons.

No idea why some get it and some don't or if we have natural immunity or not.

It's my understanding (or misunderstanding) that the shot dings any natural immunity a person already had. Natural immunity is not considered. Herd immunity has dropped off the charts.
