I can't figure out why the state or insurance would be covering antibody testing if the medical establishment is saying it has no medical value.
Speak to the Igud about this one. (Everyone in town is running to get antibody tested because that is what the Igud is emphasizing. )

I have a high risk relative who never had symptoms and has now tested positive for antibodies and is now living life in the free lane, because of the Igud letter.

I have no idea, it's something I heard 2nd or 3rd hand a few months ago. Take with however many grains of salt you want...
At that time there were specific testing drives done for a research study.

Have there been any cases of reinfection with antibodies?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Yes. Not common, but yes.

Though my point was about the antibody testing which has been highly inaccurate, and if someone never had symptoms I'd be wary about relying on a positive. The Igud pushing for people to get tested for antibodies is causing people to rely on this.

I was under the impression from the letter that it was more about people who previously had “symptoms” now declaring themselves free- they need antibody confirmation.

I think antibody testing is quite accurate now, where have you seen otherwise? I can try to find a link to where I saw it but the urgent cares are certainly touting them as reliable.

I know what their intent was, however people are taking it differently.

I don't have any sources for this; my perception may have been colored by that initial Mayo Clinic/Bikur Cholim drive (April?) which was very inaccurate (wasn't an FDA approved test).

Not in my experience. When my daughter had antibody testing at Friendly they told us the results really weren't that reliable. (She was negative, which we expected. She still wants to take a blood test to confirm.)

Interesting, both the Dr. and nurse at Friendly this week told me the results are quite accurate, and I heard the same from MyCare a couple of months ago.
