If the gubment is so hell bent on testing everyone, I sure as shite won't pay 100 bucks out of my pocket for it.

Again, I’m pretty sure this tests for all strains of corona, not just 19

They want to test for the disease. Not immunity. Widespread antibody testing will make lockdowns look dumb

I don’t understand the point of wasting $100 on this when

1. There could be false positives or negatives.
2. There’s no real data on whether you can get the virus again after having it already.

I agree. I would be interested if I knew my body had made antibodies to the Virus. Could give me a sense of peace if the tests are reliable.

Depends on the test.

And other corona antibodies should still give some level of heightened immune response to wuhan coronavirus.

Should be free. You proving you have antibodies is a service to other people

K

Then why not provide free antibody testing for every infectious disease?

Who pays for it?

Nothing is free.

The test was manufactured in China and isn’t even FDA approved.

I’ll wait until more research is done.
