My Quest Diagnostics anti-body test was negative. I can't help but feel that there is something fishy with this and the other tests that are being pushed on us.
It seems almost impossible to me that I was not exposed to the novel coronavirus. Here is why I feel that way:
1. About a week after sitting for 3 hours in an enclosed room to hear a young pastor's oral ordination exam, a fellow examiner alerted me that he had tested positive for the virus and his whole house was on lockdown (end of March). Three members of this pastor's congregation were hospitalized and went to their reward.
2. My daughter is an RN. She lives in our home and has had regular exposure to the virus (she uses PPE) and has also tested negative for the antibodies.
3. A young woman who boards with our family works in fast food and the restaurant where she works has had several postive cases.
4. One of the facilities I visit as a hospice chaplain (before the Dr. took me off the road) has had over 79 positive cases and 9 deaths.
How is it possible I have had no exposure? My conclusion-- a. I am lucky; b. I have natural immunity or resistance; c. this virus is not as infectious as the fear mongers want us to believe, OR d. the whole testing thing is an incompetently administrated scam.
Any thoughts?
Have you considered Divine protection is possible?
How about a.) b.) and c.)
I don’t see them as mutually exclusive.
Stay well, FRiend.
My doctor has had a number of COVID-19 patients and he tested negative on the Quest antibody test. Everyone in his family also tested negative.
There’s tremendous individually variability in regards to being susceptible to Covid-19 or any other virus.
Maybe your household is among the majority, who experience no symptoms when they get it.
Was your test a nasal swab to see if you have an active infection, or a blood test, to see if you had the disease in the past?
Yes, my friend. However, my dear, dear friend who was a regional prayer leader with me and helped organize our county,s’ participation in Bill Graham and Franklin Graham meeting was taken by this virus, so I don’t really understand why him and not me.
Did you or your daughter have any symptoms at all?
Exhaustion, headaches, body aches, low grade fevers?
That would be interesting to find out. That would most likely have an influence on level headed planners for safe re-opening.
It is highly transmittable, but that's only meaningful when discussing a large number of people, a population.
At the individual level you may get the bug and I don't.
Being around it is not enough. It has to get inside of you. So maybe you wash your hands often and don’t touch your face. The only other way to get it is to have someone spit, cough, or sneeze near you so you take in a large load of virus.
It was the blood test to see if I had it in the past.
We both had mild sore throats and headaches. I had a low-grade fever.
Quest Diagnostics should be investigated for price gouging.
“Some of us will remember how President Trump endured a lot of criticism for saying that he had a “hunch” that the WHO’s estimate was too high and that the fatality rate of the coronavirus might actually be below 1 percent. “Well, I think the 3.4 percent is really a false number. Now, and this is just my hunch, and — but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this. Because a lot of people will have this and it’s very mild. They’ll get better very rapidly. They don’t even see a doctor. They don’t even call a doctor,” Trump said. “I think that that number is very high. I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1 percent.”
It is probably easier to win the Califonia Lottery these days:
Versus getting a no charge, fast and reliable/good test to see if you have antibodies from a Corona Virus infection late last year, early this year or whenever.
If you are over age 60 and healthy.
Last but not least, after you are tested, you get a printout showing that you have CV antibodies or not.
Does anyone have any thoughts to why this is happening?
Is it happening in the rest of our 57 states?
personal hygiene? Maybe you did get exposed but washed it off in time? Didn’t put hands in mouth, nose, eyes?
God’s plan.
Just take care of yourself and your family and be thankful :)
There is a theory that higher levels of vitamin C and zinc already in your blood (through good diet, sunshine, etc) has a protective property against this virus getting a foothold or creating a more severe case.
East or west coast? Heard the east coast. Variety is much more potent. You may also have high levels of Vitamin D in your body. Mine is low but doctor has me on script of 50,000 iu per week..
Today’s news, WaPoo among other sources:
The Food and Drug Administration, under fire for allowing more than 100 commercial coronavirus antibody tests on the market without review, moved Monday to assert oversight, saying the tests will have to pass agency muster, including meeting standards for quality and accuracy.
No controlling legal authority, no verification that any test actually, oh, I dunno, works!
