Antibodies ...why are they not getting any love?

If antibody testing clearly indicates that you have had coronavirus why are the numbers not being included in the majority of Covid19 statistics ?
Sample testing is a long accepted form of research analysis. Both New York and California have clearly indicated that the infected numbers far surpass the advertised infected rate. (Estimates of 30-80 times current infection numbers)
Unless you’re going to test everyone every day for active Covid cultures that test seems useless. Data extrapolated from antibody testing seems much more poignant and useful at this stage of the game.
I can understand why CNN and MSNBC would not be pushing this theory as it would undoubtedly settle people’s fears but Fox and OAN should be giving this more attention.
Or am I just missing something? I’ll hang up and listen. Thanks.

Because they are not accurate yet and one can test positive if they've had previous corona viruses?

Are they accurate?
How many strains of this are there?

False
Abbott test 99% sensitive and specific for wuhan coronavirus

Does this hold true at the macro level?
Unless you are saying the tests aren't close to accurate, it's impossible to think that we wouldn't get a clearer picture of how many have been infected.

But, I wasn't totally wrong. Those Abbott tests didn't start shipping out until the very end of April.
Now I'll be on the lookout for Big Pharma consiracies related to this.

Because it's all a hoax, and people sitting at home not working need to be arrested for being a lazy bum and not contributing to society.

I’m going to get an annual physical in the next few weeks and considering of asking for it.
I’m assuming a normal doctors visit can do this?
Had what the doc said was Bronchitis back in early March. I thought it was a really bad sinus infection plus ear infection and then rattle with deep breaths. She didn’t want to do covid test, but I’d like to know

As an asymptomatic person I would much rather have the antibody test instead of the Covid19 test.

Because truth would dilute the fear pushed by the left?

They are accurate enough for 2 highly regarded Stanford MD/researchers to conduct ground-breaking studies with them.
Antibody tests are not accurate enough to guarantee individual immunity. But plenty accurate enough to get an accurate reading of antibodies in large samples - like 1000+
And antibody testing destroys the moronic narratives from the left.

Which studies were those?

You are clueless as to the recent Stanford antibody studies?
And yet you post a giggling emoji? frick off.

Were the Stanford and NY tests done incorrectly? Both claim random sampling.

I believe the Stanford tests state "randomized" sampling. i.e. weighting of some of the subjects so as not to use too much data from higher income areas.
John P. A. Ioannidis, a professor of medicine and epidemiology is one of the leaders of the Stanford studies. I have confidence in the doc's ability to navigate through statistical challenges in designing and implementing the study as Dr Ionnidis is also a professor of statistics at Stanford.

Factor of 30 and accurate numbers of how many people actually died "from" Covid instead of "with" Covid and IT IS the flu.
