A serologic test, also known as an antibody test, looks for antibodies to viruses in the bloodstream. Antibodies are proteins in your blood that help fight off infections, and their presence can help determine whether you have been exposed to and infected with, or are immune to a disease*, including COVID-19. A blood sample is taken to detect and measure the level of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies as a result of exposure to the virus.. Penn Medicine Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is conducting research and clinical studies to further understand the science behind COVID-19. Researchers are studying how patients who have recovered from the virus can help those who are battling the disease to determine whether a positive antibody test means a patient’s antibodies can block the SARS-CoV-2 virus from entering other cells.. A positive antibody test does not mean you are immune to COVID-19, but rather that you have been exposed to the virus.. *Disclaimer: We do not yet know if antibodies from SARS-CoV-2 will protect people from getting infected again and research is still being done on that subject..

The UW Medicine Virology lab is receiving shipments of the Abbott laboratory–based antibody blood test for clinical use. Antibody blood tests are important to check people for past infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the cause of COVID-19. This particular test looks for the IgG antibody.. . Abbott began shipping clinical lab tests April 16. The tests are expected to improve medical understanding of the virus, including how long antibodies stay in the body and if they provide immunity. This knowledge could support the development of treatments and vaccines. Earlier, the UW Medicine Virology lab helped Abbott evaluate the performance of its viral assays and how best to use them. The widespread use of tests for immunity to the pandemic coronavirus could be vital to the re-opening of businesses and schools and return of workers.. . This press conference from April 17, 2020 includes virologists Keith Jerome and Alex Greninger.
A serologic test, also known as an antibody test, looks for antibodies to viruses in the bloodstream.

The market is suddenly flooded with antibody tests claiming to prove whether or not people have already been exposed to COVID-19. But two critical questions are yet unanswered: Are any of these tests accurate and does past exposure mean immunity? .
Immunologist Dr. Gigi Gronvall of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security talks to Dr. Josh Sharfstein about a new report outlining the potential and pitfalls of antibody testing. They discuss how long it might be before we understand more about antibodies and immunity to COVID-19 and how widespread testing could help capture the true footprint of the coronavirus’s spread.. .
What are COVID-19 antibodies? Should I get an antibody test? Jack Maggiore, PhD, associate director of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center, explains COVID-19 antibodies, what a positive or negative antibody test result reveals, and who should be tested.
A new serology, or antibody, test for COVID-19 has been developed and is now in use by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.. Unlike the molecular diagnostic test for COVID-19, which determines if someone is currently infected with the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, serology tests detect a patient’s immune response to the virus by specifically looking for antibodies developed against the virus. These antibodies will attach to and essentially kill the virus.. In this Q&A, Dr. Elitza Theel, director of Mayo Clinic’s Infectious Disease Serology Laboratory, answers questions about antibody testing..

Antibodies to a chloroformmethanol glycolipid extract of M. pneumoniae are detected by a CF test in more than 85% of culture-positive patients; a single elevated titer of greater than 80 or a greater than fourfold rise in titer between acute and convalescent sera is required to establish a diagnosis.
In diagnostic laboratories, these responses are measured using the complement fixation (CF) test for the short-lived (IgM) antibody response and the virus neutralization (VN) test for the longer-lived (IgG) antibody response.
Diagnosis is made by the presence of clinical manifestations plus a differential WBC count showing lymphocytes and monocytes more than 50%; a heterophil agglutination antibody test with an antibody titer greater than 1:40; and an EBV-immunoglobulin M test with antibodies more than 1:80.

• Blood studies show leukocytosis, elevated ESR, IgA, and IgG; low titer rheumatoid factor; circulating immune complexes: anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody in more than 90% of clients.
Other tests confirm specific antibodies to bacterial or viral infections such as the heterophile antibody for infectious mononucleosis; viral hepatitis A, B, or C; or the Helicobacter antibody test.
Diagnosis A number of serologic markers (viral antigens and antibodies to the viral antigens) and nucleic acid testing are available to diagnose acute and chronic HBV infection.

Serological diagnosis of acute IM is most accurately made by the presence of IgM anti-VCA and anti-EA antibodies and the absence of anti-EBNA antibodies.
The test is based on the observation that, during acute infection,IgG antibodies bind antigen weakly or have lowavidity, while patients with chronic infection have more stronglybinding (high avidity)antibodies.

How likely are you to be “positive” through the nasal swab if you are tested positive for having the antibodies/IGG/IGM? I’ve only been sick for roughly a week, and I’m feeling better now, but but today I was tested positive for the immunity test, but I have to wait for the swab test.
I have covid-19 antibodies and I recently got sick with the symptoms again. So I’m not sure if I am immune to the virus. I continue to feel lightheaded at the most. But I struggled with headaches everyday, heart palpitations, fainting, shortness of breath just walking from the bed to the bathroom. Covid-19 is real.
How far back can the anti body test go back I was really sick in January with all the symptoms of COVID-19 but never been tested at that time I did the anti body test in may but it was negative. Please advise
My wife and I got sick for about 20 days starting around March 5th this year. Neither of us got fever though (never even reached 37 degrees Celsius). But wer were getting chills, coughing (wet cough) and generally feeling crappy for this entire 20-day duration. But since everyone was instructed not to go to hospitals/see doctors unless they were “dying”, and also tests were still not available then; we never got tested for Covid19. So we don’t know if the coronavirus was our problem, or we were just “normally” ill. By the end of March we were both fine (it was, however, a very long period to be sick for). So my question is, is there a way to test/find out now, whether we HAD been infected by the coronavirus back in March? (It would be GREAT to know, as that would probably mean that Covid19 probably won’t kill us in the future either unless a completely different strand of the virus comes along that would affect us differently and more importantly, we would now know if we are now more protected from Covid19 as we’ll assumably have antibodies against it now. At least against THIS strand/”iteration” of the virus..
**Please only reply to this question if you actually KNOW the answer (no “assumptions” please!). 😉
I tested positive for corona in May. Yesterday (august) my antibody test was negative! I was super sick with COVID and now my body doesn’t have fighters for it? Can you explain? I don’t want to cough blood again
MAYO_We need a show about the Cell Mediated immunity system and T-cell release for those that want to verify their negative serological test! And would be great to know why the cells are not transplanted but only plasma. Could the T-cell defence not be transplanted as well? So whole blood transfusion instead of only plasma as that would cover B-cell antibodies including T-cell defence. Or are they included in the plasma already?
what would you do if your elisa based test was positive but your lateral flow based test was negative? the two tests taken within 2 days of one another.
How do we get tested for the immunity. I was sick when I flew back from lax and seattle the end of january,my cough lasted 7 weeks after. I live in mn.
The antibody test has a accuracy rate of 50% so 1 out of 2 could be false negative or positive because if you had a common cold which is caused by a different Coronavirus these test will show positive for that also. Until a test is 100% reliable I would not bother with any of this testing and certainly don’t pay for one of these test.
FALSE POSITIVES INFLATED CASE NUMBERS Dr Deborah Birx warned long ago and CDC have just now finally admitted it! “If you have 1% of the population infected and you have a test that is only 99% specific, then if you find a positive, then 50% of time it will be a real positive and 50% of time it won’t be! [ie, it will be a false positive]”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdN-11btc0&list=PLtoX6L88vjkeom-8rYnV_WlGJHumatZCT
My mom says she thinks I may have had the virus back in February. She thinks this because in the beginning of feb, I had pains in my chest every time I breathed. We went to the doctor, and they said I had ‘inflammation caused from a virus’ and yes, it could have been any virus, but it might have been corona.
Additional caution for those patients whose doctors have seen and treated patients where they believe the patient was infected with Covid19 and believe the test result is a false negative. There is now a 40% accuracy rate of Covid19 test which is the original test kit. The false negatives now are because that first kit isn’t picking up on the virus mutation!
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK.
And it only costs $139.00 ����You people are wanting to know how this virus has effected the world and are charging money for it when the feds are giving billions to fund things like this? Dont waste your money peoole!
My mom recently got hospitalized because of covid (pneumonia and tested positive). I went and got a test but I tested negative even though we live in the same house. I had what I thought were mild symptoms but the test contradicts it.
Now I don’t know if I should go get another test or try for the antibodies.
I had all the symptoms in March! Got tested in May for both active virus and antibodies.Through a full lab work up blood draw. It was negative for active and negative for antibodies! IMPOSSIBLE. I had no smell, cough, headaches and sore throat and muscles. Fever and chills. Plus major stomach issues. I was sick for 2 weeks and then better. Then sick again after feeling well for 3 weeks or so. Sick again. I’ll say I got this around March 10, then again in April by May 5 tested negative for active, May 20th negative for antibodies. I guess I’m still waiting on my body to produce antibodies since March? Will I ever products something that says you had this. I’m waiting another month to do another antibody test. So where do they get a few days to weeks for the antibodies? I don’t think it’s full protection at all. Nothing has shown up, nothing? They say you never had this. No way is that correct or true! What is happening, IMPOSSIBLE LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE! I know I had this, no smell or taste that was a bigggest sign! Plus, sick and well and sick again! I had a heart issue too. I got a PET scans May 21st yesterday. Waiting on that result. Something is wrong or to get true immunity it must take longer than expected times. It’s been 2 months on the short duration and nothing showed up. Any answers? PS I have ulcerated colitis does that make a difference?
Early on; January, February and March of 2020, “convalescent blood plasma transfusions” usually was concerning patients who were very ill with the caronavirus. Since then, most all of the tests I’ve seen say that the plasma transfusions are usually successful for anyone with caronavirus; especially if administered early on. If donor supply becomes widely available, why not administer the plasma as a common treatment? Seems to be something missing as far as the media not broadcasting the test results of plasma transfusion and that there is a lack of promoting blood transfusions.
WOW! I was thinking if doctors can tell a patient with antibodies how to prevent the disease; why can’t doctors create medicine to cure the patient when they get the disease? All they need is some drug that will allow an immune response against the virus. I discovered the drug monoclonal antibody. Maybe research can be done to see if this is the needful medicine. Thanks for your research.
You guys seem really stuck on people being exposed, having antibodies, but somehow NOT being immune! You keep saying you just don’t know yet and you don’t want people to think they’re immune when they might not be (even though they probably are). But if they have any amount of the right antibodies remember, THEY ALREADY BEAT THE VIRUS!! And they probably did it easily, without even realising they were sick. By the end of the video you sound like you are only looking for problems with this type of testing. Not once did you mention the potential positive (that is already being reported https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/nyregion/coronavirus-antibodies-test-ny.amp.html ) that these studies could lead to a a lifting of societal restrictions if they were to show a high prevalence that in turn would push the case fatality rate lower than it is currently believed to be, making Covid 19 not actually as dangerous as first thought. Why..?
I think I may of contracted COV19 I’m far better than I was a few weeks back so I may of got over the virus off if you want someone to get anti body’s from I’m more than willing to do what ever I can to help.
I will be ordering a home test this week so will pop back and let you know the results.
I hear more and more people reporting having a really elongated dry cough (4 weeks to 7 weeks) and then being recovered. What is the chance they were infected with covid19? Or ware they just symptomatic co-incidences??
The WHO says antibodies is not reliable to show immunity. That statement should throw there whole vaccine program in the trash. Isn’t that how they test to see if there vaccine is working? You get a shot then they test for antibodies! So they really don’t know if there vaccines work or not since antibodies is now not reliable way to test for immunity. They are always putting their foot in their mouth they Lie so much they can’t keep it together. Like a child who tell a Lie then tell The truth because they forgot they told a lie to begin with. LOL,LOL their Vaccine empire is crumbling around them. No evidence antibody tests can show coronavirus @t › 2020/04/17 › who-issues-warning-on…
WHO warning: No evidence that antibody tests can show coronavirus immunity. Published Fri, Apr 17 20201:38 PM EDT Updated Sun, Apr 19 202012:34 PM…
You can’t check for something that doesn’t exist. Wake up people!!!! Don’t be sheeps sent for slaughter. Stop listening to bs mainstream media agenda. Its so clear to see what’s happening, truth is coming out. It’s for you to decide if you want see it.
Just a genuine question…forgive any ignorance…what if people like me who work with covid patients everyday, and have been exposed on many occasions yet haven’t tested positive get tested for antibodies?…
So i just received my antibody test from my Doc and it is positive at 7.4, my question is what is considered a high antibody count? I cant seem to find info on this and my doctor does not know the upper limit of this test. He just told me it was one of the highest from all the other patients he has tested. The test is from Abbott and all they say is <1.4 = negative, >1.4 positive. I even looked at there manual for the test and cant find any “upper limit”.
So, what you’re saying is, that Rhesus monkey’s have about 1 month immunity, but like the WHO said, there is no proof that having had COVID confers immunity to… humans.
NO offense, but the “experts” have been wrong about the virus since day 1. The data coming in is showing that the virus is far, far less deadly than the “experts” have been predicting.
I have proof this antibodies for covid lasts no more than three months, and last that what one family member has found. Full blood test not finger prick first in Sydney 26th August second in first week in June. The first showed antibodies, the second none at all. So if anyone has tested and had no antibodies,, they still might have had the virus but the antibodies, may not be present any more if it was early in the year.
Wake-up, people. The planet and our country have been shut down by hysteria and fear. Masks, social distancing, and contact-tracing are all SNAKE OILS being sold to us. Don’t buy into it. It is silly to be walking around wearing a mask and praying for a vaccine when we already have a cure. HCQ. HCQ is cheap, effective and has been in use for 70+ years. Big pharma and the medical mafia can’t make a dime on it so it must be shown to be “scary” so they can push the new expensive, patented, and exclusive drug and vaccines that will certainly have more risks. People, look at the fine print on all of the medications you take right now before you talk about the risks of taking HCQ as a preventative or cure.
I am enlightened during this ‘pandemic’. As a RN, the people in the streets yelling at medical professionals is the same treatment in the medical facilities. We are really learning who the takers and givers are in this age. I feel so bad for anyone under the age of 25. I can’t help but wonder what they are thinking.
How accurate are the antibody tests? Are they 70 percent accurate? 90? 99? Can any1 tell me as ive heard we have alot of coronaviruses in our body already
If you have had contracted it but had no symptoms but did lose your antibodies (immunity) why would it affect your body any worse if you contracted it again??
What I want to find is where in Oregon clinics or facilities are offering the serology samples to be taken for the Mayo Clinic research??? I had many of the symptoms and would be happy to participate, but I must be fairly stupid as I can’t find out where I would go do this…???
What about these serology studies out of Californa. Both of them concluded the far more people have been infected than reported by the government. Like multiples of 40 to 80 times higher. I believe your profession calls this penetrance. Doesn’t this mean that Covid-19 death rates are far lower than published? If the threat from infection isn’t all that dangerous, shouldn’t response policy be aimed at physically increasing hospital capacity rather than protecting each and every American? I don’t see the need to stop working if the virus isn’t all that deadly to me, I do see a need to increase treatment/hospital capacity because Sar-2 spreads so fast and overwhelms hospitals. Is this a fair interpretation of these new serology studies?

Enforcing a lie!! Look at the numbers people!!! Someone dies of a heart attack Oh he died with covid! Die with stroke Oh Covid killed him!

Toothache covid, headache covid, gas covid, toe blister covid, back pain covid, tired covid, fever covid, shaky covid, stomach pain covid, lie after lie after lie. Then they say six feet keep six feet then turn around and say its airborne which a virus can’t do. Like a virus can measure Oh he got covid because he was 5 feet and 3/4 inches from the dude in front of him. Or the stupid little sheilds at stores like it wont go around if it was real!!mask dont help, yes it does, well not really, woops better wear a mask. oh yeah fruit is getting covid, pets, etc theyre saying any and everything and people are BELIEVING it even when they change their story over and over and over. But let me tell you the truth about it all! Its not about the “virus” its about control. If you dont get the vaccine you cant buy or sell etc now where have we heard that????? Hmm? Everyone must get it rich, poor, people in prison, young, old every man woman and child. Hmmmm…… Sounds very familiar. Even talking about locking people up for not getting it and some say kill those who refuse the vaccine hmmmmm????? Now where did we hear that? Oh yeah in GOD’S WORD THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!! REFUSE THE VACCINE!!! YOUR ETERNAL LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!! JESUS IS AT THE DOOR PLEASE CHOOSE HIM TODAY!! Covid19 the best lie going. Oh and check this out covid19 = COV(certificate of vaccination) id( identification) 19(AI/artificial intelligence) So lets see the vaccine is to give you a certificate of vaccination that you cant buy or sell without the certificate thats digitally implanted along with your national ID being tracked and traced by AI (artificial intelligence) Wow!!!! Wake up people wake up!!!!! Please seek JESUS and hang tight the beast is here!!!
There are over 200 commercialCOVID-19antibodytests for bindingantibodies, but onlyone in the market tests for neutralizingantibody. The cPass test is patented and developed by Duke-NUSMedicalSchool of Singapore and can show results within one hour with “100% accuracy.”
There are 300,000+ people in the U.S that have been tested positive for Covid 19 and recovered. How many studies (completed or active) for the half life of SARS-2 antibodies are there? What are the current findings/progress? If there are at least observational studies that indicate reinfection is unlikely, wouldn’t that give more value to antibody identifier testing? Also, is there any statistically significant evidence of Covid 19 recovered healthcare workers being reinfected after returning to work? Please point me in the direction of at least a peer reviewed paper on any of the above. Lastly, given that the economy is likely going to dictate reopening (people going back to work and shopping), it doesn’t sound like having a working and available antibody identifier test widely available to the public would be a false sense of security, quite the opposite. At least we would have a working test for the progression and path of the virus. It would help straighten out the metrics we currently have that are really not much better than guesstimates anyway. Would it also be valuable data to have if long term complications are identified after supposed recovery, especially if asymptomatic “recovered” people are at risk of later complications?
If you have specific IgG COVID-19 antibodies at high enough concentrations, chances are very much scientifically speaking that you do have a developed immunity. It is irresponsible and illogical to think otherwise.
Great video, i was just wondering if you could answer a question i have been debating with my family. Hypothetically, if 1% of the worlds population have had corona virus. You take a 99% accurate antibody test and are positive. How safe is it to mix with infected people, assuming antibodies indicate immunity? What if the test was only 95% accurate?
How come medical science STILL doesn’t understand how ANTI-BODIRS work? Is this a joke? They haven’t figured out this BASIC level of BIOLOGY yet. This is pathetic.
How likely are you to be “positive” through the nasal swab if you are tested positive for having the antibodies/IGG/IGM? I’ve only been sick for roughly a week, and I’m feeling better now, but but today I was tested positive for the immunity test, but I have to wait for the swab test.

Then sick again after feeling well for 3 weeks or so. Sick again. I’ll say I got this around March 10, then again in April by May 5 tested negative for active, May 20th negative for antibodies. I guess I’m still waiting on my body to produce antibodies since March? Will I ever products something that says you had this. I’m waiting another month to do another antibody test. So where do they get a few days to weeks for the antibodies? I don’t think it’s full protection at all. Nothing has shown up, nothing? They say you never had this. No way is that correct or true! What is happening, IMPOSSIBLE LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE! I know I had this, no smell or taste that was a bigggest sign! Plus, sick and well and sick again! I had a heart issue too. I got a PET scans May 21st yesterday. Waiting on that result. Something is wrong or to get true immunity it must take longer than expected times. It’s been 2 months on the short duration and nothing showed up. Any answers? PS I have ulcerated colitis does that make a difference?
Early on; January, February and March of 2020, “convalescent blood plasma transfusions” usually was concerning patients who were very ill with the caronavirus. Since then, most all of the tests I’ve seen say that the plasma transfusions are usually successful for anyone with caronavirus; especially if administered early on. If donor supply becomes widely available, why not administer the plasma as a common treatment? Seems to be something missing as far as the media not broadcasting the test results of plasma transfusion and that there is a lack of promoting blood transfusions.
WOW! I was thinking if doctors can tell a patient with antibodies how to prevent the disease; why can’t doctors create medicine to cure the patient when they get the disease? All they need is some drug that will allow an immune response against the virus. I discovered the drug monoclonal antibody. Maybe research can be done to see if this is the needful medicine. Thanks for your research.
You guys seem really stuck on people being exposed, having antibodies, but somehow NOT being immune! You keep saying you just don’t know yet and you don’t want people to think they’re immune when they might not be (even though they probably are). But if they have any amount of the right antibodies remember, THEY ALREADY BEAT THE VIRUS!! And they probably did it easily, without even realising they were sick. By the end of the video you sound like you are only looking for problems with this type of testing. Not once did you mention the potential positive (that is already being reported https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/nyregion/coronavirus-antibodies-test-ny.amp.html ) that these studies could lead to a a lifting of societal restrictions if they were to show a high prevalence that in turn would push the case fatality rate lower than it is currently believed to be, making Covid 19 not actually as dangerous as first thought. Why..?
My dr just had me take the Mayo antibody test yesterday. I don’t know the results yet. Can you tell me how accurate the antibody test is?
Couldn’t find the original post but crazy enough even with the sam exact Covid toes (measles like rash) it was negative. I was shocked.
I think I may of contracted COV19 I’m far better than I was a few weeks back so I may of got over the virus off if you want someone to get anti body’s from I’m more than willing to do what ever I can to help.
I will be ordering a home test this week so will pop back and let you know the results.
Tha k you for all of your hard work guys������
I hear more and more people reporting having a really elongated dry cough (4 weeks to 7 weeks) and then being recovered. What is the chance they were infected with covid19? Or ware they just symptomatic co-incidences??
The WHO says antibodies is not reliable to show immunity. That statement should throw there whole vaccine program in the trash. Isn’t that how they test to see if there vaccine is working? You get a shot then they test for antibodies! So they really don’t know if there vaccines work or not since antibodies is now not reliable way to test for immunity. They are always putting their foot in their mouth they Lie so much they can’t keep it together. Like a child who tell a Lie then tell The truth because they forgot they told a lie to begin with. LOL,LOL their Vaccine empire is crumbling around them.

She is so beautiful. If i see her i will say “I love you”. I watch this video 10 times. What is her name?
Please if you know her HONK me!!!!
You can’t check for something that doesn’t exist. Wake up people!!!! Don’t be sheeps sent for slaughter. Stop listening to bs mainstream media agenda. Its so clear to see what’s happening, truth is coming out. It’s for you to decide if you want see it.
Just a genuine question…forgive any ignorance…what if people like me who work with covid patients everyday, and have been exposed on many occasions yet haven’t tested positive get tested for antibodies?…
So i just received my antibody test from my Doc and it is positive at 7.4, my question is what is considered a high antibody count? I cant seem to find info on this and my doctor does not know the upper limit of this test. He just told me it was one of the highest from all the other patients he has tested. The test is from Abbott and all they say is <1.4 = negative, >1.4 positive. I even looked at there manual for the test and cant find any “upper limit”.
So, what you’re saying is, that Rhesus monkey’s have about 1 month immunity, but like the WHO said, there is no proof that having had COVID confers immunity to… humans.
NO offense, but the “experts” have been wrong about the virus since day 1. The data coming in is showing that the virus is far, far less deadly than the “experts” have been predicting.
I have proof this antibodies for covid lasts no more than three months, and last that what one family member has found. Full blood test not finger prick first in Sydney 26th August second in first week in June. The first showed antibodies, the second none at all. So if anyone has tested and had no antibodies,, they still might have had the virus but the antibodies, may not be present any more if it was early in the year.
Wake-up, people. The planet and our country have been shut down by hysteria and fear. Masks, social distancing, and contact-tracing are all SNAKE OILS being sold to us. Don’t buy into it. It is silly to be walking around wearing a mask and praying for a vaccine when we already have a cure. HCQ. HCQ is cheap, effective and has been in use for 70+ years. Big pharma and the medical mafia can’t make a dime on it so it must be shown to be “scary” so they can push the new expensive, patented, and exclusive drug and vaccines that will certainly have more risks. People, look at the fine print on all of the medications you take right now before you talk about the risks of taking HCQ as a preventative or cure.
I am enlightened during this ‘pandemic’. As a RN, the people in the streets yelling at medical professionals is the same treatment in the medical facilities. We are really learning who the takers and givers are in this age. I feel so bad for anyone under the age of 25. I can’t help but wonder what they are thinking.
How accurate are the antibody tests? Are they 70 percent accurate? 90? 99? Can any1 tell me as ive heard we have alot of coronaviruses in our body already
If you have had contracted it but had no symptoms but did lose your antibodies (immunity) why would it affect your body any worse if you contracted it again??
What I want to find is where in Oregon clinics or facilities are offering the serology samples to be taken for the Mayo Clinic research??? I had many of the symptoms and would be happy to participate, but I must be fairly stupid as I can’t find out where I would go do this…???
What about these serology studies out of Californa. Both of them concluded the far more people have been infected than reported by the government. Like multiples of 40 to 80 times higher. I believe your profession calls this penetrance. Doesn’t this mean that Covid-19 death rates are far lower than published? If the threat from infection isn’t all that dangerous, shouldn’t response policy be aimed at physically increasing hospital capacity rather than protecting each and every American? I don’t see the need to stop working if the virus isn’t all that deadly to me, I do see a need to increase treatment/hospital capacity because Sar-2 spreads so fast and overwhelms hospitals. Is this a fair interpretation of these new serology studies?

Enforcing a lie!! Look at the numbers people!!! Someone dies of a heart attack Oh he died with covid! Die with stroke Oh Covid killed him! Blaming deaths on lies to fudge numbers to make the lie look real!! Toothache covid, headache covid, gas covid, toe blister covid, back pain covid, tired covid, fever covid, shaky covid, stomach pain covid, lie after lie after lie. Then they say six feet keep six feet then turn around and say its airborne which a virus can’t do. Like a virus can measure Oh he got covid because he was 5 feet and 3/4 inches from the dude in front of him. Or the stupid little sheilds at stores like it wont go around if it was real!!mask dont help, yes it does, well not really, woops better wear a mask. oh yeah fruit is getting covid, pets, etc theyre saying any and everything and people are BELIEVING it even when they change their story over and over and over. But let me tell you the truth about it all! Its not about the “virus” its about control. If you dont get the vaccine you cant buy or sell etc now where have we heard that????? Hmm?
Everyone must get it rich, poor, people in prison, young, old every man woman and child. Hmmmm…… Sounds very familiar. Even talking about locking people up for not getting it and some say kill those who refuse the vaccine hmmmmm????? Now where did we hear that? Oh yeah in GOD’S WORD THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!! REFUSE THE VACCINE!!! YOUR ETERNAL LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!
JESUS IS AT THE DOOR PLEASE CHOOSE HIM TODAY!!
Covid19 the best lie going. Oh and check this out covid19 = COV(certificate of vaccination) id( identification) 19(AI/artificial intelligence)
So lets see the vaccine is to give you a certificate of vaccination that you cant buy or sell without the certificate thats digitally implanted along with your national ID being tracked and traced by AI (artificial intelligence) Wow!!!! Wake up people wake up!!!!! Please seek JESUS and hang tight the beast is here!!!
There is a small window of time that this test is accurate. Virtually useless if you wait to long after an illness to know if it was covid or not.
There are over 200 commercial COVID-19 antibody tests for binding antibodies, but only one in the market tests for neutralizing antibody. The cPass test is patented and developed by Duke-NUS Medical School of Singapore and can show results within one hour with “100% accuracy.”
There are 300,000+ people in the U.S that have been tested positive for Covid 19 and recovered. How many studies (completed or active) for the half life of SARS-2 antibodies are there? What are the current findings/progress? If there are at least observational studies that indicate reinfection is unlikely, wouldn’t that give more value to antibody identifier testing? Also, is there any statistically significant evidence of Covid 19 recovered healthcare workers being reinfected after returning to work? Please point me in the direction of at least a peer reviewed paper on any of the above.
Lastly, given that the economy is likely going to dictate reopening (people going back to work and shopping), it doesn’t sound like having a working and available antibody identifier test widely available to the public would be a false sense of security, quite the opposite. At least we would have a working test for the progression and path of the virus. It would help straighten out the metrics we currently have that are really not much better than guesstimates anyway. Would it also be valuable data to have if long term complications are identified after supposed recovery, especially if asymptomatic “recovered” people are at risk of later complications?
If you have specific IgG COVID-19 antibodies at high enough concentrations, chances are very much scientifically speaking that you do have a developed immunity. It is irresponsible and illogical to think otherwise.
Great video, i was just wondering if you could answer a question i have been debating with my family. Hypothetically, if 1% of the worlds population have had corona virus. You take a 99% accurate antibody test and are positive. How safe is it to mix with infected people, assuming antibodies indicate immunity? What if the test was only 95% accurate?
How come medical science STILL doesn’t understand how ANTI-BODIRS work? Is this a joke? They haven’t figured out this BASIC level of BIOLOGY yet. This is pathetic.
