Roseland Hospital phlebotomist: 30% of those tested have coronavirus antibody
Chicago City wire ^ | Apr 9, 2020 | By Staff reports

Posted on 04/12/2020 9:21:04 AM PDT by Hojczyk

A phlebotomist working at Roseland Community Hospital said Thursday that 30% to 50% of patients tested for the coronavirus have antibodies while only around 10% to 20% of those tested have the active virus.

Sumaya Owaynat, a phlebotomy technician, said she tests between 400 and 600 patients on an average day in the parking lot at Roseland Community Hospital. Drive-thru testing is from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. each day. However, the hospital has a limited number of tests they can give per day.

Owaynat said the number of patients coming through the testing center who appear to have already had coronavirus and gotten over it is far greater than those who currently have the disease.

“A lot of people have high antibodies, which means they had the coronavirus but they don’t have it anymore and their bodies built the antibodies,” Owaynat told Chicago City Wire.

Antibodies in the bloodstream reveal that a person has already had the coronavirus and may be immune to contracting the virus again.

If accurate, this means the spread of the virus may have been underway in the Roseland community - and the state and country as a whole - prior to the issuance of stay at home orders and widespread business closures in mid-March which have crippled the national economy.

I doubt this is accurate. If it is true, I expect a high level official to tell this to us, not a nobody.

You have antibodies, you work today. It’s going to be the new union card.

Truthfully this is gossip and hearsay.

Blood takers just take the blood. They don’t do the assays.

Why? You are far more likely to get the truth from “a nobody” who deals with the nitty gritty than that high govt official you have so much faith in.

"Nobodys" is how this type of information gets out.

High level officials seeing the data would realize there was a sissy stampede for no reason and they would go into full CYA mode.

You may be right, but I still instinctively want to see high level confirmation of this claim by this worker.

Hope this isn’t a case of mistaken identity.

Would she have access (possibly unlawful / surreptitious access) to the data? Maybe she’s trying to get the real data out even though she just draws blood?

In Chicago?

Where antipathy to President Trump is nearly a religion?

Until then, it's still OK to handcuff dads playing T-ball with their kids in the park. Those same "high level officials" say that is OK.

That is wonderful news.

We should have that “pin prick” test fast tracked to release people from their bondage.

400-600 per day tested? If it’s a 10 hour day and 500 per shift that is one every 1.2 minutes. Not likely.

Exactly right! And they sure as hell don’t get the reports.

Unfortunately, yes, even in Chicago. It is just as likely that this guy is incompetent, or does not know what he is talking about, or is just lying as it is that a high level official is anti-Trump. Regardless, I want high level confirmation. I don’t believe what this low level worker is saying casually, especially when the implications are huge.
