Antibodies could persist, but it doesn't mean you wouldn't get infected again.

Probably had two different strains. Different enough to evade previous immunity.

Sounds about right. A room mate has had it three times now, and it was a different strain each team. Alpha, Delta, and Omicron in the beginning of November.

I've never had a positive test or any of the classic symptoms, but round about January of last year I had a week of weird leg cramps, and my antibody levels reached Reactive + at my platelet donation, giving me a good indication that I fought off a systematic infection without it touching my respiratory system (where it would be detected by a nasal swab.)

I got the new bivalent booster in November then promptly got Covid 2 weeks later for the first time…. This thing mutates like crazy

I got the latest booster mid-October in preparation for vacation.

Stupid me got on an airplane end of Oct and promptly got Covid. I was mildly sick for two weeks and had secondary symptoms (shortness of breath, vertigo, diarrhea) for another two.
