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.
Yeah .4 and .5 are very different than the others and they can cause a new infection as they are so different than previous. But……. From what my doctor said when I went a few days ago if you want to get one 5 is the one to get as it probably provides a better range of antibody addition to what the body has.

Which is good because .5 is probably what I had so I should have the best cross protection…..
