> @ola Then you haven't been skeptical of that claim.
@Baal Diablo how so?

> I had it and didn't feel sick at all. And I know a lot of people in a similar position.
@Yussuki ₪ how do you know you had it? Also, yes, it affects people differently, some (a significant percentage) are even asymptomatic, but the ones that get it bad get it real bad and perhaps die of course but also perhaps end up with long term consequences, some of which we dont yet know. I met a man yesterday who had a heart attack following recovery from covid, his cardiologist feels it was related, and another man who has a debilitating cough still left after spending April and May in the ICU. Another man has lost eyesight in one eye...how much do we even know about these cases?

I tested for Antibodies. Costs like 20 USD.

Amazing. Was that something you bought from the internet or your doctor did it?

I'm a doctor 😂 Everyone can do it in my country. Every lab does it. It's not that difficult.

But also not that failsafe? Is this the one that gives a certain percentage of false results?

There is always some percentage of false results in every test of any disease

The Antibodies test is more accurate than the standard test.

U do the antibodies 40-50 days after the supposed contact.

Or more.

Well, guys, I'm not up to date admittedly as the last time I paid proper attention to the news was May. Back then, there was a lot of concern about the limits of antibody testing.

But if there is confidence in the tests, why aren't we all getting regular tests? Might be helpful.

My guess is because if millions of people would realize they had it with no symptoms, population would lose faith in Government . And thats not good.

I’m getting another test today.

My government, and its opposition, really would like this covid stuff to be over so they can get on with arguing about Brexit, Reunification of Ireland, and new ways to make money out of the homeless.

Stone wy another test?

so many false positives

Because my symptoms didn’t go away

And if I’m to go to work - I need to be sure

Don’t wanna put others at risk

Might just be a normal seasonal flu

But better to be sure

I want a test every day. I cant take having to worry about it anymore.

The test is quite annoying lol. The swab goes way up your nose. Hate that haha

I wish I could take an antibody test and discover I've already had it, I'd be so happy!

@StoneCold316
Oh yes, its horrible, I dont want THAT test every day, I want a new magic one.

Ola - stop worrying. Just use mitigation preventative measures. Be calm. Can’t stop living 🙂

I know, I know. But I've been trying to be cool about it since January and now I'm getting impatient.

Heh - I understand. I was around 250 people in a studio for 7 days. And at the end of it got really sick

Test was negative

But still have flu like symptoms

No fever no aches. Can smell and taste fine.

Glad to hear. But 250 people is a lot! Doesn't sound a good idea.

Yea - it’s my job, was put on hold since March - got a specialized agency to set up protocols for covid and went ahead with it finally

So far all 250 people are ok. That was part of the protocols to keep a check of.

You should be happy if you test positive

That's good news. Apart from the flu.🙂

Why happy zino?

Happier if protocols work.

Because you will form your own Antibodies and be safer for the future. No vaccine needed than.
