I don't know when I was sick last time. After locking up my family for 3 mos, because of hi risk members, I took test for antibodies for myself, and antibodies were detected, that was probably in May/June.

Interesting
My DD tested positive for antibodies in April, but never had any covid symptoms.
She did have a very bad flu at the end of December beginning of January. She tested positive with the flu.
Till today she still has antibodies and according to a test she took 2 weeks ago (she needed surgery) she has more antibodies .

You tested positive for Corona before Pesach? Or you just happened to have tested your blood and found some antibodies?

If you never tested and got a negative after you tested positive for antibodies it’s possible your positive is from old cells and you have something else now...

The antibody tests are notoriously unreliable.

Refuah shleima.

Curious to know what the numbers were and the scale that was used. Or was it just a positive/negative results type test with no numbers? Notoriously unreliable.
I am sorry you're sick. Refuah Shelaima! It doesn't sound like you were sick previously.

Actually, the ones from reputable companies and labs are in the 99.5% specificity range, similar to the reliable PCR COVID tests.

I don’t get it
If antibodies dwindle after a while and you can catch it again, what good will a vaccine do, or are we expected To vaccinate every 3 months.
