Google "Covid testosterone" and "Covid testicles." There's no real data, just inferences based on Covid cells being found in the testes and corelations between testosterone and Covid occurrence and/or mortality. There are theories that there may be some lasting damage. IINM, that's the extent of what there is right now.

Were you sick?
I got strep a couple of weeks ago, was one heck of a strep, had it in the summer as well, both out of style times, but hey that's me, out of the box. How considerate to ask.

CMIIW, I don't think fever causes any long lasting issues.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Residual might be a better word. You yourself said it’s too soon to know real long-term effects.
Correct, but I was referring to the 2003 SARS outbreak. Some patients suffered long term damage.

They're both qualitative only tests, so just positive/negative.
Quest does Abbott.
Labcorp it seems you may be able to order specifically Roche by having orders for 164068 SARS-CoV-2.


I had a prescription for 164068 at LabCorp and they did abbott

In the you can't make this up department, there is a NY Times article today showing some neighborhoods in Queens with 68% and 56% positive for antibodies.

Neighborhood with the highest percentage positive - Corona, Queens.

BUMP.

This thread has been inactive for 3 months. The poll has the option to remove your vote and revote. I'm asking that people update their answers now, in case anything changed, so that we can get an updated assessment.

Updated my vote. My wife tested positive (PCR) back in April, and I was sick immediately after her (didn't get tested). But when we went to get tested for antibodies, she had and I didn't. Fast forward to YT, and I test positive right before Sukkos. Quarantined over YT and got the whole family tested (rapid, PCR, and antibody) right after YT. BH everyone was negative on the rapid/PCR. I have antibodies this time around, and 2 of 4 children do as well (though I'm guessing it's from April, since they had absolutely no symptoms this time around). My wife's antibodies dropped, but still above the threshold for immunity level.

Still no positive test, no symptoms, no antibodies. Tested twice.

Looking for somebody with positive antibodies test to drive a client around LA for a few days beginning tomorrow. Paying RT Airfare + 7 night hotel + $50/hr (min $1k, likely 2-3k) + expenses.

Completely unrelated to the previous post, looking to get Covid so I can become an Immune Travelling Chauffeur. Contact me only if you can guarantee a relatively painless experience and long-lasting antibodies. Willing to lose smell and taste for a bit.
