Hypothetically, if a person started having symptoms 8 weeks ago and recovered over a 2 week period, would anti bodies show up if they take this blood test?
good question. i’ve been told that nobody knows the answer to how long the antibodies last for this virus.
since it is a cold virus, it could act like other ones, where the protection is temporary. you get the same cold every year or twice a year. or it could be permanent or somewhere in the middle with IgM immunity.
for what its worth, i’m told that the hospital is planning for another surge in nov.
