Supposedly it is. I believe mount sinai is testing for it.

Only if you tested positive. That's not what CV was asking about.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Not true. Family member was accepted to get blood drawn and was never tested. But it’s obvious that was positive cuz of symptoms.

that's already after 11 days? Did he have symptoms when he first took the test?

Yes, and it started 2 days earlier.

I was replying to CV that they already have it in the US. Obviously they are first using it to benefit others etc. Will see how long it will take for it to roll out to the general public.

I was asking if I don't know if I had the virus can they do a test to see if I did have it? Lets say in Nov a second wave hits. Someone never showed any signs of the virus. Is there a test to see if they were infected earlier in the year?

Dan's answer was correct. Antibody test.

Bottom line is we don’t have massive availability of this. In South Korea you apparently have phone-booth like self-serve testing locations that can confirm antibodies within 7 minutes.

I’ve had a dry cough on and off for a month, and on-and-off headaches and tightness in the chest for the past 10 days or so since I’ve been holed up at home with my kids, probably all stress related. Should I be worried I Ch”v have COVID-19?

Add very mild throat pain (like early in the onset of strep) and muscle aches that both come and go. Dry cough has come and gone for over a month. No loss of taste/smell, no fever.

Mild symptoms or placebo/stress related? Don’t really see the point in getting tested at this point, unless they have an antibody test.

An American company just got approval for high speed testing kit. They say they will ramp it up to 50k kits a day. Who knows how long itll be till then, and even so you need their machines to read it so not everyone will be able to use it and even 50k a day wont be enough soon (if it isn't already)
I'm not who you think I am.

Theres another symptom I had which I am curious if anyone else experienced. At night my mouth becomes painfully dry to the point that I need to wake up a few times to take a drink. Not getting much sleep as it is but this is definitely very uncomfortable. Anyone else experience something similar and any ideas for alleviating? Thanks.

Fever has been gone since Friday, temp completely normal this morning. Cough basically done. Never lost taste or smell. It looks like I’m in the clear, no?

Close relative of mine is in the midst of developing a test for just that. Will be a rapid test which anyone can buy at their local pharmacy and do at home.

+1. We need 50k tests a minute, not an hour.
