[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hope the gov is paying attention to the antibody test study and the fact that warm weather matters. WE CAN OPEN ALREADY!!!![/quote]

From what I have read the antibody tests are not regulated by the FDA and [b]may show antibodies from other Corona strains that are more like the common cold.[/b]How can we open when the numbers keep rising?  If we do it wrong the last measures accomplished nothing.[/quote]

That doesn’t say the tests show antibodies from other Coronaviruses.

This is from a medical office offering testing in DC  http://www.farragutmedical.com/covid-19/:

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS TO THE ANTIBODY TEST?
This test is best performed when the patient is at least 10-14 days from the onset of symptoms. If it performed too early, the antibody level may not be high enough to register on the test.  The test also cannot distinguish the COVID-19 antibodies from other coronavirus antibodies.  So if somebody has recently had a common cold caused by another coronavirus, there could be a false positive.  We also do not know how long the antibodies will persist or how long the immunity will last.  These tests are qualitative (yes or no) and not quantitative (how much antibody is there).[/quote]

Well we should definitely stay home and starve 90% of our population while we parse these details in 5 year long clinical trials. Please chicken little. There is growing consensus in the scientific community that it simply is not as lethal as originally thought. I feel like we aren’t wanting to hear these facts because of the orange morons original flu comments. [/quote]
