Over time, the probabilities are leaning towards "high resistance" and "dumb
luck", as by now, there's lots of multiple exposures likely.

I'm hoping high resistance is a factor for me, because I do have at least one
risk factor (previous infection by the Epstein-Barr virus) for long COVID,
which would be the next best thing to a death sentence. :/

Less and less severe would be very nice.
