     This manuscript provides a valuable and policy-relevant contribution to our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 viral kinetics in the Omicron era. The authors exploit a rich and unique dataset from the National Basketball Association to describe post-infection viral kinetics and explore evidence for differential kinetics by immune history and demographics. The authors show (as others have) that most people remain with high viral loads 5 days post positive test (though less so in groups who are tested in a more realistic manner), and that older individuals and those who were boosted (but had a poor initial response to the primary vaccine series) were more likely to remain with high viral loads longer after an Omicron infection, while also describing rebound frequencies after Omicron infections.
