As an asymptomatic person I would much rather have the antibody test instead of the Covid19 test.
Yes, because when you get a false positive with the Covid test you are branded and have to sit at home 2 weeks

You may already know it, but Quest Diagnostics has an antibody test they will mail to you. It’s a little over $100.

I’m assuming a normal doctors visit can do this?
Yes. My doctor just called Friday and said she had it available. There is the quick test or like 2-3 day. That one is more accurate. They can also add on and test the concentration I think to tell you howany antibodies and if it's basically enough to be "immune". Is my understanding

Abbott test 99% sensitive and specific for wuhan coronavirus

It ain't the vaccine. The vaccine is how they will do their dirty work.

How can one find out locations using this test?

Because antibodies means a cure and a cure means less control.
Its time to pull back the curtains.

You are clueless as to the recent Stanford antibody studies?
I know of the one that isn't very good, and the other bay-area study that was even worse, but you said there were some 'ground-breaking' ones. Which were those?

And yet you post a giggling emoji? frick off.

The antibody tests aren't popular because they would likely show that way more people caught the virus and weren't at all affected by it at all. This would in turn decimate the mortality rate of C19 and that would go against Orange Man Bad and that we really shouldn't have destroyed the economy.

Now fully convinced that you are a Big Pharma shill.
Two respected Stanford MD/researchers designed and executed that study. And one is also professor of Statistics at Stanford. I'd bet the farm on the validity of their study before I'd bet ten cents on your medical/statistics acumen.
And as Birx pointed out, even at 99% accuracy antibody testing can not be used without risk to certify an individual's immunity. However and antibody test at 80 or 90 percent accuracy is perfectly acceptable to test larger samples (1000+ people)
An antibody testing result that shows that millions have the antibody makes Contact Tracing a joke - THAT is one main reason the control freaks want nothing to do with antibody testing.
The other is that it demonstrates that Herd Immunity is alive and well in the human race.

I had this antibody testing done, for me and my family. We all were bad sick earlier on before this whole thing went mainstream. Just got back from Toronto and we were all coughing and had fevers. Diagnosed as an upper respiratory infection and bronchitis.
Turns out we had covid-19.... got the results Friday. My 1 year old knocked it out in a couple days, me and the fiancée it took about a week. I’m overweight but no other health issues.

The Stanford study sent out facebook requests to get their “random” sample. And the professor who did the study doesn’t know how to apply Bayes theorem.

Dr John Ioannidis is a Stanford MD. He is one of the leaders of the Stanford antibody studies. He is also a professor of statistics at Stanford. Gonna take a wild guess and say Ioannidis knows Bayes Rule inside and out, and up one side and down the other.
