Good question. I can give you our personal experience.
Caught something November 2019, coming back from Bora Bora. Super sick for 6 weeks and lingered for 6 months.
October 2020, husband catches “coof” from a friend. We had gone traveling, just two couples. Husband rarely gets sick, and usually shrugs things off in 24 hours .. was sick for 3 weeks. I didn’t get it, despite being around him & the other couple. Husband still has antibodies year and a half later (has to give blood).
Kid 1 gets it from classmates February 2021 ... none of us got it.
September 2021, me and kid 2 got it. This one was bad for me. Worse than the original in 2019. Same virus? Who knows. Husband didn’t get it, despite being right next to me ... carrying me to the bathroom, etc.
I’m thinking that it’s probably different viruses circulating around. Some maybe are close enough to something you’ve had previously that you don’t get that specific one again. But, then along comes something else and you get that one.
I actually pretty well thought I was immune after the Nov 2019 round, since I didn’t catch anything else, but then the Sept 2021 knocked me on my rear.
