A coworker told me this, and I argued that one cannot be tested for the COVID 19 Antibody; but he states that his doc told him that he did have the 19 Antibody.
The thing is, he came to work with a cold, which I fricking got, and he seems to believe that's when he had it.
I asked my doc to do the test, and states that 19 ( specifically) cannot be tested.
So I may have had it, or may not have.
Point:
Ask your doc if one can be tested for the 19 Antibody. If so, get tested. If positive, you should be okay.

An antibody test is as good as useless, all it tells you is that you may have had or didn't have it at one point, it doesn't even indicate how long ago you had it.
As an example my mom who works in the hospital got covid in late april/early may, she was symptom free after 3 days and had to wait 14 days to get tested.... little did she know the hospital used antibody testing and she kept getting positive with a negative sprinkled in between, they required multiple tests to get clear, so basically first test she got was 10 days after she was confirmed positive, 7 days after that she got another positive, then a negative 7 days later, then 48 hours later a positive, then the hospital changed its protocol nearly 3 weeks later because they were getting shortstaffed.... in the end many found out it was the anti-body testing that messed everything up.
