When the global pandemic hit in March of 2020, everyone hoped that after two weeks or so of social distancing, cases would begin to drop and things would quickly get back to normal.
And though life is slowly getting back to what it once was, cases of COVID-19 continue to ebb and flow.
It almost feels like everyone must have caught COVID-19 at least once by now.
But even three years in and with multiple variants, there are still a very lucky, select few who have yet to test positive for COVID-19.
Redditor jwa8808 was curious to hear how those who have yet to see two red sticks on their rapid tests have managed to avoid catching COVID-19, leading them to ask:
"For people who have never caught covid even once, what's your secret?"
Having no social life comes with its advantages.
"I'm not very social even without a pandemic."- phorq
"Have no friends, lol."

"I really have no idea."
"I've been on building sites with people taking zero precautions, worked in London for a while, delivered into hospitals during lockdown, been surrounded by people who then go on to have covid a few days later."
"Not a clue how I haven't had it yet."- sammykoejoe
Best perk of a home office!
"Working at home and having no social life or sex."- I-P-Freely4ever
Pure, dumb luck!
'Neither me or my kids have been hit."
"The secret, I have no idea besides lure luck."- Hugh-Mahn

But hopefully the fact that they've avoided catching an illness which has taken the lives of over six million people worldwide is the comfort they need to feel good about their decisions.
Bert And Ernie Of 'Sesame Street' Just Parodied 'The Fresh Prince' Theme And It's Perfect
Over the years, many have wondered as to the origins of Bert and Ernie. Have these two always been friends? When did they meet? What's Bert's mom like? Fortunately, Sesame Street has finally answered these questions in a new video. And, of course, they decided to use this opportunity to parody the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song.
Though some of their rhymes are dubious at best, the earnest story of how Bert moved to Sesame Street and met Ernie in his quest to find a friend to "laugh, learn, and share" would have been a slam dunk even if this weren't a pitch-perfect parody of Will Smith's iconic rap introduction.
Fans on Twitter were bopping right along with Bert and Ernie!

This is far from the first time Sesame Street has offered its take on a popular bit of pop-culture.
It seems Cookie Monster is a big fan of doing movie parodies...
Some of these should have received their own theatrical release!
What will Sesame Street take on next? Perhaps it's time Cookie Monster saved the world as Ethan Hunt in Cookie: Impossible - Chocolate Chip. One can only hope...
