No.

But I would not fly even if this wasn’t happening.

Havent set foot on a plane since nov 2001 and won’t be doing so ever again.

It still doesn’t answer my question. What the hell good is an antibody test for getting a “COVID-19 test certificate”?

At this point, the only thing that makes sense if that you 1) tested negative for being sick today AND 2) that you have immunity based on an antibody test. You should get on the plane only if you pass #1 and #2.

You can get a “pass” on your antibody test, but that may not mean you are not going to get sick again.

I’d much rather know the person next to me is not sick NOW.

So, whoever is requiring these “test certificates” is not thinking this through.

Give blood, but you may find that blood is not enough
Give blood, and there are some who’ll say it’s not enough
Give blood, but don’t expect to ever see reward
Give blood, you can give it all but still you’re asked for more

Give blood, but it could cost more than your dignity
Give blood, parade your pallor in iniquity
Give blood, they will cry and say they’re in your debt
Give blood, but then they’ll sigh and they will soon forget

We’re heading for the day of reckoning, I’m telling ya. It’s all building up to something, something that can only be redeemed with fire.

There are a lot more transmittable diseases than CV. Why not test for all of them??

OK, it’s obvious they are doing it to meet somebody’s bureaucratic requirement.

But I’m asking a bigger question. Does that bureaucratic requirement for some “certificate” actually do anything to make flying safer? I’m arguing that it does not.

Orwell was dead on in his vision of big brother/big government. Those who said 9/11 will eviscerate our liberty were dead on. China flu is the continuing rotting of our liberty.
