Secondly, if you test positive for COVID-19 it means that your body has encountered the virus.
But it doesn't necessarily mean that. If a serum antibody count is used, sure. If a PCR test is used, it probably means you had a high cycle count which means you can find anything in anything.

Fair enough... ALSO the virus can replicate on your mucous membranes without having yet hit your lymph or bloodstreams where it would end up triggering an immune response.
However, my point stands. Most viral infections go unnoticed. There is simply the matter of scale. Do you always buy a cartload of groceries whenever you go to the grocery store? Sometimes you buy a little, and sometimes you buy a lot.
It's very likely, though, that you won't get out of there without pulling out your credit card, or your checkbook.
