The tests were rushed out and I think there’s quite a few different ones from different sources. I bet some are no good. The CDC’s first ones are known to have been no good. Then there were others that were tainted with the virus itself.

Incompetence or a whole lot of people have TDS so bad and are cold hearted enough to do real evil? #RESIST Look at NY, NJ and CA sending positive cases INTO nursing homes. Oregon locking down til July with less than 200 cases, not quite as evil as causing death but still. Then again, it will cause death as they wreck their State.

The answer is C. The virus is not as infectious or as deadly as the fearmongers, communists and democrats, but I repeat myself, want us Americans to believe.

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.

Embrace the power of the word "and."

“...How is it possible I have had no exposure?...”
-
Simply because you are one of the 99% of people
in the State of New Jersey who do not have the virus.
(New Jersey total cases = 14,348 / 1,000,000)

If I have to choose just one, I'm going with:

"c. this virus is not as infectious as the fear mongers want us to believe"

I don’t believe the tests are 100% accurate. Broadway actor Nick Cordero had his leg amputated due to complications (toxic shock and blood clots), allegedly brought on by the virus. But his wife said they tested him twice, and he was negative both times. It wasn’t until the third test that he tested positive for the virus. Third time must be the charm. Color me skeptical of the test kits available.

exposed does NOT equal acquired

Let me ask it another way, why do some years certain people NOT get the flu?

I know, because I don’t.

It’s not that I take the Flu Vaccine.

It’s because I keep my Zinc and Vitamin D levels up, eat right, and get plenty of fluids. Around me people are getting colds and the flu.....been doing this for years after I got tired of getting sick.

It would be to the advantage of Big Pharma to have as many test negative as possible so they remain candidates for the future vaccine.

When did your close contact become asymptomatic? If it was >2 days after your encounter, you should not expect infection (per the prevailing narrative).

Three negatives here and surprised about it too.

One of my kids worked in an executive training program for an airline at JFK thru mid March and processed passengers from China and Italy. One of her associates on the training program doing similar work died from COVID.

Another one of my kids worked in the medical device industry and took numerous flights and transversed numerous hospitals thru mid March.

Both came up negative.

Antibody tests aren’t being pushed on anybody because we have no idea what they mean. There clearly are false positives and false negatives, they don’t indicate active infection and they don’t indicate immunity.

Not sure why anyone would do one at this point. They may have some usefulness for population screening - I mean, like, a million tests a week for twelve weeks.

I don’t know what you mean by (4), but the first three you list sound like POSSIBLE exposure, but scant reason to PRESUME you’ve been exposed.
1) He wasn’t positive yet when you interviewed him.
2) LOTS of nurses AREN’T positive.
3) Lots of people were tested positive at the restaurant... but not 100%. Why think she’s positive?

Your immune system is apparently strong. I never get the flu shot, and rarely get the flu. When I have gotten the flu, it is a one or 2 day experience, and then I’m done with it. Yet others are sick for weeks before they feel normal. This virus does not have super powers to infect everyone, despite what the media is telling us. So just because you have been around people with it, doesn’t mean you have to have it.

being exposed is not the same thing as being infected, and antibodies develop only if one is infected ...

it’s also possible the Quest antibody test is simply unreliable; most of the C-19 tests currently in use were never independently validated by the FDA for accuracy, but instead were “approved” on an emergency-only basis ...

unless a test has been thoroughly validated on thousands of subjects, some of whom are are known to be positive, some known to be negative and some whom are unknown, and all of this is done under rigorous conditions, a tst might have a very large false positive or a very large false negative rate, both, or those rates might be unknown ...

Maybe you were exposed but produced no antibodies? Is that possible?
