I had Covid Thursday - Tuesday. My wife has it now.

This was my 2nd time having covid. My first time was mid December.
December was worse. Neither was fun.

Any guesses on what variants these were? No telling? Does it even matter? Am I more or less at risk having had it twice? Do vaccines or boosters even do anything for me at this point?

According to this article, most current cases are BA.5 (53%) or BA.4 (16.5%), and states you can get reinfected within a couple of months.

Annecdotally it seems like the current strain lasts for about five days. My wife caught it travelling last weekend, with her symptoms starting on Sunday, so we're hoping that she's down to her last day or two.
