There are many of us who feel we had covid back in late Jan or Feb. If your one of us, have you had antibody testing? what were the results?

I've had it done twice once in April and once in December. I was globe trotting last Jan/Feb/March. Both came back negative. Both my parents got tested as well. Interestingly my mom was positive and my dad was negative for antibodies. Mom has no clue when she had it.

Don't the antibodies only show up for a short amount of time?  That is what the Plasma Donations places like BPL were saying when they were advertising for COVID-19 Positive people to donate after they had been cured.

One of my nieces (35yr old and works at a VA hospital) was sick back in April, but never tested for the virus. This summer she took the antibody test and it showed that she had developed the antibodies. She got her first vaccine shot last week.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

I have had 3 instances since last march I thought I might have it. Not tested. One included loss of smell for almost 3 weeks. It's on my list to donate blood cause I think they are checking now.

They can test for Antibodies. Heres the strange thing I tested positive and have Antibodies. My wife never tested positive (which is common for false positives) She had all same symptoms as me and we sleep right next to each other. Blood test also show she doesn't have antibodies. If you had covid you would know. Every person I know that actually tested positive had at least a day or more of hard breathing (like someone is sitting on your chest).

As for the time frame on the antibodies I tested positive on November 12th antibodi test positive on Dec 11th. I'm back to 99.9% but still have a slight cough sometimes. I no longer test positive on nasal and saliva test. I had to have a negative to return to work at the hospital.

I know a bunch that basically had zero symptoms.

I know a bunch that basically had zero symptoms. I think part of the problem is deciding if you have symptoms or not is up to the individual. I know people who sneeze once and act like they have the late term AIDS. Others who could be coughing all over the place and say it’s just allergies.

The day I thought I had it started out normal, and by noon I was extremely weak, had a 103° temp and felt generally like chit. yes, it could have been flue, but I don't think so.

You can set up an appointment and go to your local Kroger today and find out in 15 minutes for 25 bucks with a finger prick. https://www.kroger.com/health/pharmacy/covid-care
