What if the nature and severity of your symptoms were ALSO dependent on the nature of initial infection ?

I think you are farting in the right direction. Correlation between initial viral load and severity of symptoms has been talked about previously. Could explain why the cases in NSW and VIC are currently quite mild i.e. people are still largely social distancing, working from home, and premises are keeping covid safe.
That could change when you add a few superspreader events in a short time frame e.g. Christmas Eve, NYE and Test matches. We'll know by end of Jan if we have dodged a bullet.
