thought about the same thing, might give it a go for the wife and myself...if we both test positive for antibodies I'd believe it. But the actual specificity of those test is pretty low...even the ones that claim "99.5%" are testing out in studies at ~ 90%. Some are straight garbage.

EDIT - i think you can only get antibody testing through your healthcare provider, just need to make sure what lab they use and what test that lab supplies.

My wife is asking her boss today if he knows where we can go to get tested. He's an MD.

My understanding is the antibody test is just a pin prick. I wonder if he can hook her up with a couple tests and she can prick me....heh

what percentage of the population do you think has been infected?

I have no clue.

I know of about 15 people who are pretty sure they had it in late February before testing was an easy thing. They just waited it out and eventually got better.

I don't personally know anyone who tested positive.

Just went grocery shopping, don't worry Zeph @Zeph we had on masks. We are starting to see larger more primal cuts of meat. We picked up a good size pork loin to cut up into pork chops.

Looks like a lot of people were taking advantage of our testing spot. All the cars you see are workers.....

They were still setting up, but there was no line or anything. If this was a month ago I would have bit the bullet and gotten swabbed while I was sick, but I've been healthy for a few weeks now so I'm trying to find out where we can get tested for antibodies.

They started all this way too late. Wasted effort at this point.

well if you (or anyone) comes across actual data that this novel coronavirus is naturally occuring, I really want to understand. There's a lot of people saying that, but then just smiling and nodding confidently. I want to understand why they can say so definitively DID NOT come from research, but MUST BE naturally-occurring.

There's been a ton of posts and papers about it from virologists.

Here's a compilation from one that ropes it together.
