My brother-in-law tested positive for omicron then recovered.my sister shared the same bed without mask but she showed no symptoms.she also tested several times and the results were negative all the time.why didnt she catch it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
She may be one of the few that are naturally immune, developed immunity from past vaccine or had it without symptoms sometime in the remote past. There is also the possibility she had it but tested negative, all of which has been known to happen.

How far can Omicron virus be in air without symptoms? If I talked to friend maskless outside of 6 feet or directly 6 feet for just 1 minute, no symptoms the day. My friend tested positive the next day with symptoms. Is it close contact, will I get it?
After a positive result for Omicron and no symptoms I made another pcr after 12 days and still the result is positive with CT 31.01 am I still contagious?
I wonder how the new variant Omicron is different and dangerous. How can we prevent it other than shots? Schools didn't shut down even though this daily case is higher than times where we had to quarantine..?

My brother, 60 had an obstructive jaundice from a gallstone 10 years ago (when he was 50). Normally he avoids paracetamol but this time the Omicron forced him to take it twice for 3 days. Will this dose of paracetamol permanently injure his liver?
