Did you test for antibodies? POLL

[S209]

So an interesting pattern we’re seeing is no asymptomatic people testing positive for antibodies. There was this

I have three siblings that have antibodies with no symptoms

from Tuesday, but perhaps children are different. Presumably more people with symptoms have tested for antibodies than asymptomatic people have.

I signed up to get tested Sunday with the mayo clinic test, BH never had symptoms. We'll see what the results are.

A PCR test reacts to viral cells (RNA). It doesn’t react if there are no viral cells.

That's not a source, that's a svara.

Im going to get tested Monday. I had no symptoms, but was very exposed to people who tested positive. Ill keep you posted with the results.

My Nephew, 22-23 yr old totally asymptomatic, has high antibodies.

Interesting. Family members in the same household with symptoms?

Yes.

I'm going to test on Sunday IYH. Never really had symptoms, besides a headache one day 2 months ago.

3 children came back with anti bodies, 1 had it strong,the other 2 mild with kids if smell. Me and my wife, negative, we both didn't have symptoms. Very weird and strange.

I took my test twice, one last week and 1 choel hamoed.

Not everyone who gets sick or gets a vaccine will develop antibodies. Thus the additional need for herd immunity.

Or could be they lost the anti bodies see https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=116555.msg2252874#msg2252874

That’s a surprising update.. should I add an option for no more antibodies?

[yesitsme]

I took the covid + antibody test at chai care on Wednesday they both came back negative

[S209]

FWIW my sister (who tested negative for antibodies, no symptoms, but her husband lost his sense of smell at one point) was told by the Urgent Care she tested at that 50% or less are showing antibodies.

Don't understand this discussion. Was told by many that results are unreliable so didn't bother testing, am I missing something here?

Depends on the test.
Abbott and Roche blood draws are quite reliable.

Thanks for clarifying.

PSA for those who aren't aware, Abbot testing can be done through Quest Labs, while Roche does not supply tests directly to patients; their test can only be ordered by a medical professional.
