It sounds like the results would be more useful to the public health authorities than for those doing the testing at this point. |
I think they want to see how many ppl in NY actually had the virus. That will also really lower the percentage death rate when they see that there were actually many more ppl who had it but recovered.

I was sick from Purim for the next 2 weeks. I never tested for the virus. I just tested for the antibodies 2 months later and it's positive.

Yup, that's what the PA who gave me the test said too. (I went just for the fun of it.)
My husband tested positive for antibodies, I tested negative. Neither of us had so much as a cough since Purim.

NYS DOH is reaching out via text message to people who took an antibody test, asking to complete a survey to give them more information.

If antibodies don’t give you immunity, then how do explain the fact that there are practically no new cases in our community? Compared to the way things were Pesach time. And don’t tell me that SD is working, because the streets look nothing like the ghost town they were 2 months ago.

No one said they’re not giving immunity. It’s just premature to start opening up fully before more is understood on the sequence of this virus

Someone I know is putting together a survey to see how many people have tested for antibodies and what the results are. Please take the poll, it’s 30 seconds long and will mean a lot to us and to researchers. The poll is for everyone, whether or not you think you’ve had it and whether or not you you’ve tested for anything.
Thank you!!

Even if the thest has 90% specificity, but you have only 5% positives among the population 2/3 of positives will be false positives...

Plus the whole bp and Flatbush and Monsey and Williamsburg is in Florida and they aren’t quarantine or sd or anything like that. They are going to restaurants and acting as if everything is normal. So please explain why the same people in New York have to be on lock down because it’s dangerous and then comes to Florida and they are totally free and there are still no new corona cases so obviously corona is over. |
You are not serious, are you?
You know that corona can spread without symptoms, and that this is the most dangerous phase? when you think everything is OK, but the virus is quietly spreading, no-one is testing, and then suddenly an outbreak is revealed because someone became very ill? but then it is really too late to avoid massive spread? That's exactly what happened in New York...
