Not true in Ga. Clinics are sending mass mailers out begging folks to come in for antibody testing. The USGOV pays for all of it.

I got mine yesterday and should get the results shortly.

Pretty sure we had it in March. If that wasn’t it, I don’t want to see the real thing.

They would best determine antibody rates by sampling the population scientifically and don’t have nearly the capacity to test everyone presently.

I have been saying the same thing. I believe I was exposed through my son. We thought he had the flu, but tested negative for flu. He was sick with what we later learned were the symptoms of COVID-19 . . . around Christmas 2019 before the Misinformation Ministry (CDC) said it was in the country. I went on Tamiflu and had an uncomfortable sore throat for a few days; no fever. Good chance I, and my son, have the antibodies.

If Witch Doctor Fauci were being truthful and sincere about making good public policy decisions, they would be beating my door down to test my son and me for antibodies. Fauci is a lying fraud.

Are there two sets of “rules” the med community is operating under? This does give one pause.

“the only reason to get an antibody test IF RELIABLE would be to show that at one time you did have covid...”

and if you ask, “Is the test reliable?”, what do you think the answer will be and can you trust them to be completely honest?

The Mandatory Gates Killer vaccine is the only choice and Planned Parenthood will be the only place that will be offering it for a small fortune.

Not sure. I had “something” in early Feb that matched the symptoms. Was heavily exposed to a sick relative just returned from europe.

I wanted to be checked for the antibodies when I saw they were rolling out the testing, but didn’t want to pay for a dr visit AND the cost of the test. Weeks later I get a mailing to “occupant” to come one, come all for the test. At that point I looked up what the govt said about costs, and one of the covid bills signed into law said ALL testing costs, both diagnostic and antibody tests are fully paid by the govt.

I went by and got tested. Hardly anyone there.

Why would you spend $225 for a test when you are not currently sick. Just put on your surgical mask and walk to the end of your driveway and throw $225 out into the street. At least you can then walk out and pick it up.

Because I'm looking for an antibody test to see if I may have already had this. A lot of people are testing positive for this without showing any symptoms. And, I may have had this back in late January. If I could know this, I could be confident that I could go out without being infected, and without infecting anyone else.

does anybody know how long after you have covid that you would test negative for covid?

The common assumption is that you could be shedding the virus for two more weeks. I'm assuming that you would test positive during this time.

Had an antibody test last week. $129 at Quest. No referral needed. A business partner had one yesterday. $10 copay with a self referral.
