Based on the variety of responses it seems that one could have it and not know it. Where do you get these antibody tests to verify?
Search on the internet for you locale and it will give you
locations to get an antibody test.
Not as many do it as the current-infection types.
But, we have a local (wonderful) walk-in urgent care franchise that does them. My hubby and son verified their status by going there.
Another question for the “science” types - how many of COVID patients did NOT get counted, because they never current-tested or got Dx from doc?
My hubby and son probably don’t count, though they later had antibody! But my mom probably did, since she had a test at a doctor’s, and I had a “free” one a couple days later.
How many millions of people don’t count in their “recovered” stats, because they didn’t PCR/current test or Dx?
The antibody tests require a blood draw at a medical lab. The tcell test also requires a blood draw at a lab and it is then sent to https://www.t-detect.com/
