In this week's edition of the Covid Q&A, we look at post-Covid immunity. In hopes of making this very confusing time just a little less so, each week Bloomberg Prognosis picks one reader question and puts it to experts in the field. This week’s question comes to us from Angelica in Boston. She asks:

My husband tested positive for Covid, but I feel fine and I’m still negative. We’re both vaccinated and boosted. I can’t help but have this pang of jealousy toward him because in theory he’ll now be extra immune. And if I still haven't gotten Covid, will that extended exposure boost my own immunity at all?
