she and her family got that the antibody test
If I take the latest test and it tells me that I have antibodies and it is 98.6% reliable, then I will be more open to taking public transport, taking a life, eating out, visiting people. etc.
I've made this point many times and will continue to make it.For countries like Ireland that have had low incidence of corona virus most of the population was not exposed to it and therefore will not have developed antibodies.
The news in the thread about the self-administered home test for COVID-19 antibodies developed in the UK is the best news in a long while.
If antibodies don't confer immunity then the world is banjaxed.Provided, of course, that antibodies confer immunity.
Does that mean a test that could detect corona virus when it is in incubation and before it strikes, has a virus ever been detected in incubation before? It might be a stupid question , I know viruses are just tiny pieces of dna or rna after that I havn't a clueThe antibody test is good news but I think an immediate test for covid would be even bigger.

We are back to the quality of the tests and the rate of false negatives and false positives
