Is it a bit much to say there is blood on the hands of people who acted recklessly in defiance of doctors and Rabbanim and directly caused some deaths?
is there blame for recklessness yes.
blood on hand is a bit too much though
there is a difference between ignoring social distancing and actively going out when you know you are contagious

If you're G-d. and can trace every small germ around the globe, nope, definitely not too much to say.

At 4 minutes in Dr. Ditchek says they are noticing steady declines in IgG levels for people taking multiple antibody tests. In his case the numbers fell too low to donate more plasma a few weeks after successfully donating.

Does this mean people will start getting reinfected?
Does this mean making a vaccine is going to be harder than we originally hoped for? Or that we'll all need frequent boosters?


i got tested (mayo) a month apart- april 22 and may 23. my antibodies went from 3.12 to 3.02 and i gave plasma twice during that time.

Is there a link to an explanation of the different kinds of antibody test results?
I went to the Mt Sinai in May and had 2880 and just went to care365 and had 60.
They are both considered positive and I'm trying to determine if it's dropping as they are clearly different systems.

I dont know of a link, but If you got an official result emailed to you then by looking at the pdf you should be able to see what number you have to be to be considered positive on that test.

I got the email from care365 and it said anything above 15 is positive however I don't know what the range was for MT sinai so I can't determine if it's dropping.

IINM, 2880 is the highest number you'll get from mt sinai.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Is Quest or Labcorp doing any quantitative tests, or still just qualitative?

Anyone have info or article link on how to understand the antibody numbers for the different types of tests?  Tested positive (IGG) but trying to figure out if my number is relatively low or high..

1.1 is low 3s to 5 is high. Unless it's a 1-100 scale then 5 is very low and 60s to 100 is high. Unless it's the other scale which until 300 is low 8-900 to 3000 is high. Good luck.
Sorry if I ask so many questions, but life is short and there is so much to learn! Let's help each other be great!

It actually seems to be none of the above which is why I知 confused..  If I知 reading results correctly seems to be less than 15 is considered negative, 15 and above is positive. Trying to figure out if 18 is high or relatively low for a positive..

Sounds like the care 365 test. 18 sounds low as I believe the range goes from 1-400
My wife had 375 so it's a real range.

When I took that test they didn't give a number, just pos/neg
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

When I took the Roche test back in June, it was just pos/neg. My son was tested about a month ago and was now given a quantitative result (#Dan). I believe it was around 130, which they said was considered fairly high. I believe anything over about 80 translated to positive, but may be slightly off on the numbers.

I believe they switched over from a yes/no to a quantitative test at some point. The results say that 1.00 and up is positive - ie likely that you were exposed to the virus or something like that. But I'm trying to figure out if there's some number that translates to an immunity threshold. Within my family, we ranged from low 40's to nearly 200.

Did anyone test again a week or two later and yield a higher quantitative result?

I took one test in May (idk which but it was the one where 15 is pos) and got 7, then I took the Roche test in July and it was pos. For whatever that's worth.
