In fact, I haven't had any symptoms since this whole pandemic started. I'm starting to get worried I might have it. How about you?
I get screened every morning before I start my shift at a hospital here in Northern Commiefornia (aka The State of Jefferson).
Here are the question I have answer:
1) Do you have a dry cough?
2) Do you have shortness of breath?
3) Have you been out of the country within the last two weeks?
4)Do you have a fever? (we have two thermometers at the station)
I always answer no, no, no, no and my temperature is usually between 97.8 and 98.4 (one day it was at 97.2 so I thought I was hypothermic)
Anyways, it appears the most telling symptoms of covid-19 is you have no symptoms.
A biochemist on the texags site indicated a while back that his firm is working on all aspects of COVID. He said he wouldnt trust the antibody tests right now (at that time) and his company wouldnt release one until they were confident.
I do know there are issues with antibody tests.
I do know there are trying to figure out how long the antibody stays with you. It could be a short time in some cases.
If you had all the symptoms and are convinced you had it in January but you get tested and have no antibodies...dont assume you didnt have Covid.
That said, there are no clear cut answers on this testing
I do think before Jimmie Johnson was cut from the Nascar race they should have done tests 24 hours apart AND from different makers. He had tested that he had the antibodies at an earlier time
About a week after he couldnt race due to a positive test.. he tested negative twice
Something is off about his scenario.

In addition, here in Fl today I went in for a blood draw and had to answer these questions in addition to the ones above: have you visited NY, Conn, NJ or La?
Have you had visitors from there?
Have you lost your sense of smell?
Have you had the chicomvirus?
Have you tested for the chicomvirus? if so what was result?
My temp was 97.8 a few tenths below my house reading so I
was cleared for entry. This took about 3-4 minutes.
