Did you test for antibodies? POLL

[aygart]

You do realize that this doesn't [nessacerialy] mean that people had it but don't have anti bodies.

The people testing negative but had symptoms could have simply had the flu or a cold, but that's called symptomatic cause everyone was assuming it MUST be COVID 19

This is very likely and is exactly his point. FAR fewer people seem to have had this that what many assumed.

[aygart]

FTR, I went with 2 of my bochurim and I was negative, one son was indeterminate and the other was an error. I had a slight sore throat, the one who was indeterminate had a weakened but present sense of taste while the one who had an error said he didn't taste anything for a week. I think that was exaggerated because his eating habits did not change at all.

He realizes. He's not trying to prove you have no antibodies after infection. He's just trying to put real numbers on communities where there are claims that everyone had it already.

Exactly my point

Great, but does this mean that they can still get it or are they genetically immune.

I didnt research it, just heard rumors about Blood type O not getting it.
As a small sample size, my wifes family all have type O. I, and my 2 month old daughter have AB and both had COVID confirmed. My wife tested negative for antibodies. This despite feeding, changing etc straight through.
My father in law had fever for 14 days, has antibodies, and my mither in law is negative.
Almost all my siblings tested positive, not a single one of my wife [11 kah] did. Nor did any of my mother in laws siblings and their kids, despite many of thier spouses and kids being positive

Debunked. DDFers with Type O tested positive.

I don't think blood type is the answer here. Some other genetic factor maybe. My wife tested positive, while our 1 year old and I tested negative (didn't test the older kids) - again, despite feeding, changing, no distancing within the home, etc. I don't remember my blood type, but I know it's not O.

Proof here

[Yard sale]

Anecdotally, or from someone with knowledge of the actual numbers?

DP - The 3 people that I know who took it all were negative.

Knowledge of at least some of the numbers

[Euclid]

Relative of mine, tested positive for Covid-19 on March 22. Did the Lakewood Bikur Cholim Mayo Clinic blood test on April 19 and was negative for antibodies.
 
Had symptoms, and wife tested positive for Covid-19 as well.

Heard (first hand) of another Covid-19 test positive (with symptoms), with negative antibody test (antibody test administered 7 weeks later).

[mention]S209 [/mention]another DP for you.

+7
DW's family, all positive with blood type O.

[yelped]

DW results came back with zero antibodies.

DW results came back with zero antibodies.

Was that just now?

I'm still waiting for results, both from me and from DW. Called them at 3 pm today and they said that they were all sent out, but they are sending them out again in a little while.

Still nothing. Checked spam, promotions. Nothing.

An hour or two ago.

Results came in over Shabbos. Both me and DW are negative. (My blood type is O+ btw, her's is A-.) Will take both polls shortly. (None of us had any symptoms, and we both took quarantine seriously.)

Now for the million dollar question: what's next?

Strictness of quarantine is very relevant and really should be part of the poll.

Also beginning on quarantine. I was very strict only after Purim, and by then it was too late.

I was strict on Purim. Not full blown quarantine, but I had a pocket Purell with me and I avoided contact as much as possible.

I was careful, but very hard to help it when other people cough/sneeze all over you.

And I never touch doors or sinks.

My data point- my 6 year old son tested positive for Covid at the end of March.  Obviously we couldn't isolate him, and were not careful with him at all.
We were very careful though with stay at home orders and barely left the house.
My wife and I both tested negative for antibodies this week.
