They can be.
Let me rephrase my question. Is it possible to test positive for covid19 but even though hes are positive he is not contagious?
I'm not who you think I am.

I think that the tests are testing for the presence of corona in the nasal passages. So if a person is positive, he’s still producing corona, and can share the germs.

Most of the non symptomatic covid positive passengers on the cruise ship showed “ground glass opacity”, abnormal lungs, on the CAT scan.

If someone takes the covid19 test (some time after symptoms are over) and comes back positive, does that mean they are still contagious?
Mt Sinai told a relative of mine they are not contagions.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

1. Not everyone will develop antibodies.
2. It can take weeks after recovery to develop antibodies and show up on a test.
2 makes more sense.

Where are you taking this info that some people's bodies don't make antibodies and they can get reinfected?  The CDC and Dr fauci are all saying they believe that at least for some time you won't get reinfected. Which means that the test is probably not accurate. Or that there are more strains around and the antibody test they have only detects a certain strain...

Although no one knows for sure if you are immune, i'd rather accept that the non fda approved test is not accurate than to believe that what you say is true.  I took the test today will see what the results show...

Your second point makes sense.

If we are testing more and more shouldn't we see a decrease in the fatality rate?

I believe it has dropped a little. We're right about 3%, where previously we were a bit over 3.5%. Also, there are a couple of factors to consider:
A) Until now, the majority of the deaths were shorter illness lengths (~ 1-2 weeks). Now, you're seeing the deaths for those who were sick for a while, on top of the deaths for those with shorter illnesses.

b) The hospitals are more crowded, so there's a good chance the quality of care is dropping, leading to a higher mortality rate.

You're right. I was looking at the NY number, which is still around 3.5%.

Both reasons I gave are still valid.
