You can, especially with Omicron being so different from the Wuhan strain. More likely, for her, is that she had the vaccine, which results in the production of antibodies specific to the Wuhan strain. These antibodies compete with the body's naturally-produced antibodies from prior infection, making a person more likely to be reinfected. They also compete with our innate antibodies.
Additionally, it is entirely possible that one of these two incidences is the result of a false-positive test. Or they're just lying through their teeth. Hard to say
Yes, you can catch it again. While natural immunity does protect you a lot, it's not perfect at all. It's even more possible for you to catch omicron or Delta variants if the natural immunity you have is from the original variant. I've known a few people who have gotten covid at least twice. So natural immunity is not perfect nor infallible.
It's literally the common cold according to old-thinkers.
Fact check: Textbook definition of coronavirus as common cold doesn't include COVID-19
The claim: An old medical book says coronaviruses present as common colds
Our rating: Partly false
We rate this claim PARTLY FALSE because some of it was not supported by our research. The common cold is caused by a coronavirus. But there exist other coronaviruses that affect humans in ways more serious than the common cold. The old textbook used as a reference in the Facebook claims did not address novel coronaviruses or animal-to-human transmission.

Interesting. How does natural immunity play into all this? For instance, I’ve had the whuhan variant. No vax. Can I catch whuhan variant again?
Highly unlikely. Natural immunity is the strongest prevention. But if you do, Ivermectin or HCQ.

So, it’s more like the flu than say chickenpox?
