And how would mine be .49 without some kind of exposure/infection?
What is a typical baseline here?Your body could just randomly crank out some IgM that happen to show up on the test. Remember no test is perfect there are false negatives and positives for every test.
The only one to really know is to restest in 5-7 days. You could be presymptomatic or it could be nothing.

You are 100% correct. There is an unknown level of titer that will likely give COVID immunity. Lower levels will likely still result in a more rapid response. I see this most frequently in Varicella (Chicken Pox) these days. Some immunized kids have a weird wimpy infection with no fever and about 10-20 lesions. Those are partial immunity responders.
They’re claiming the antibody test is “nearly” 100% accurate. Last I read it was 80-90% accurate. That’s not very good odds.
