On Tuesday New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said there are probably hundreds of thousands of people who have already had COVID-19, didnt know they had it, and recovered. Cuomo continued to say these New Yorkers should be tested for antibodies so they could go back to work and keep the economy going.
And now there is a test that will show if a person was already infected by the coronavirus and have developed anti-bodies.
This new test could help put Americans back to work sooner rather than later.

I caught something at the end of January, had a cough for a month.
thats 4 times as much as ol’ Pocahontas!
My thought exactly
I don't care to know if I have antibodies. How much would they pay for my blood? Also I don't care to get someone's blood. Who knows what's in it.
Not really.
What good would it do? I read that people can catch this stuff again right away and 14% of the 2nd timers die.
I had a bad head cold in January. I felt really bad. Must have had it.
Good.
I think they are grasping at straws.
But let them test away.
I expect it will come back that we are nowhere near herd humanity. But We’ll need that test eventually.
And it would be great to establish a set of healthcare providers who have immunity.
Bookmarked
I was very ill with all these symptoms during the first 2 weeks of February. I missed two weeks of school...and I never miss. Students thought I died. I joked that I had a weaponized version of the flu they were passing around. I blamed the bio-chem club!
I will take the test. I am very interested to know if I got it after a bunch of male Asians coughed all over me. I am interested to know if my medical protocol stopped the RNA virus for replicating because it includes Zinc and Zicam.
Whatever I got was stopped dead in it’s tracks overnight...then about two weeks later I started getting something again..(after I was next to a female Asian that was pretty sick)....and knocked it out but it took a few days
Never got to the lungs or a fever.
“Governor Andrew Cuomo said there are probably hundreds of thousands of people who have already had COVID-19, didnt know they had it, and recovered”
So yer sayin it wernt the killer disease everyone touted...?
This would be outstanding news.
Dont give it to CDC, they will screw it up or FDA will ban it without their stamp of approval.
World turned upside down. Coumo is making sense. Strange days indeed. He”ll probably get calls tonight from his bosses and then say he was sick and that he meant to say no one should work and the economy should collapse.
Mid-February I got sluggish, aches all over, chills, fever of 103.4, cough for about 3 days, then back to work - possibly this but have to wait and see.
It's not a cure. It is a way for us to have the true statistics so we know what the actual death rate is and how many people already have immunity.
Even better a recent study on rhesus monkies suggest that the antibodies protect against re-infection.
I had a very bad virus in Jan, caused low grade fever and severe fatigue for nearly two weeks.
I'd guess that a lot of white people have a drop or two of black blood or some other ethnicity lurking somewhere.
My great great grandmother was 100% NC Cherokee and I look as whitebread anglo as one can. Of course that is nothing compared to Lizzie's "high cheekbones". LOL
