You can ALSO catch omicron more than once.

Even worse, Omicron reinfection occurs over an even shorter time frame. In some cases, only a few weeks!

We were able to get these answers because of the unprecedented level of worldwide scientific collaboration aimed at capturing viral sequences from infected individuals to build a public-facing database. Unfortunately, our ability to measure and quantify the viral spread is evaporating due to decreased funding & ability to continuously sequence patient samples. Better records could also answer more questions.
