Omicron 5, with reinfections increases the “risk of death, hospitalization and Long Covid”. I study

Getting infected more than once increases the risk to your health. They are therefore concerned about the reinfections and Omicron 5. These are the results of the latest research carried out on the basis of data collected from all over the world. And while in Italy the number of people who have been infected more than once increases, they worry about the consequences on their body. Nancy Baxter of the University of Melbourne School of Population and Global Health said early research, based on data collected from the US Department of Veterans Affairs database, showed that getting infected again carries greater risks.

Omicron 5 reinfections, greater health risks: here’s why

Research, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, shows that while there are some immunity benefits with the first infection, the chance of adverse health effects increases with each subsequent infection. Additionally, the immunity benefits of contracting the virus diminish over time, making re-infections more and more likely.

Symptoms and dangers

The dangers that can be faced are breathing problems, wheezing, heart problems, long covid and having a higher risk of death than one would expect. As pointed out by Professor Baxter. “Which means the more times you get it, the more it will add to the possibility that at some point you will have a really bad consequence of having COVID-19.”

So what does this mean?
-*diagnosed* re-infections appear to be associated with higher risk of severe disease & complications even up to 6 months-post infection
-Increased risk even seen in those with 2+ doses of vaccine
-Risk increases with number of re-infections

The protection vanishes

For the first month after having Omicron you have some protection against the new infection, but then it quickly diminishes. Professor Baxter pointed this out. The study included more than 5.5 million people, only 10% (566,020) were women. Dr Deepti Gurdarasani of Queen Mary University of London agreed that while the research has some caveats, his findings have significant implications for how we think of Omicron re-infections.
