One of the nurses tested positive for antibodies(and its a guy so those that want a pic go to grinder) and he's back at work I told him I wouldn't even wear a mask


For a little bit at least, I had antibodies but it was such a low amount that the scientist running the test (he's a friend) said the small amount left in my blood would barely help me... if not completely useless in fighting it off if I come in contact with the virus again. I'm basically past the "immunity" stage already

If I'm in a medical setting and being exposed to a higher viral load I wouldn't really chance it. You'd also likely be the first contact should the virus mutate and your antibodies aren't good for protection at that point. It's just a mask.

I would be selective about whom I told.

14 day paid vacation?


A lot of place - nope. Not unless they have some vacation or PTO that can be used.

if have antibodies donate plasma


Yep.
That's why I got tested.

I recognize this is a massive overreaction. But, If I can get some folks out I'm okay with that.

I regularly donate blood as it is.

That would mean you had it, and your body now knows how to fight it off. Right?


That was my logic for requesting the test in the first place...my insurance wouldn’t cover it.
