So we had a "town hall" at work this morning and - of course - Covid came up. We talked about the shots, immunity, etc. and one coworker mentioned that he'd taken an antibody test and had come back positive. He said he was shocked because he hasn't been sick in years.

The question was asked whether he would have preferred a negative result and he said the point was moot.

That got me thinking. For me, a negative result would be aa damned strong indicator that the world's most contagious virus ever isn't everything it's supposed to be. I behave as I do during flu season. I wash my hands and stay away from people who are coughing and sneezng. Yeah, I wore a mask when it was required so as not to cause trouble for local businesses that I patronized, but that's it. My life is 100% back to the way it was pre-hysteria.

What say the rest of you?

Spouse and I were both sick the first week+ of August. Both had an antibody test two days ago. One of us came back negative, and one came back positive, so yeah, the whole thing reeks of fuckery afoot.

You're not the first person I've heard something like that from. My next door neighbor, for example, tested positive for Covid even though he was symptom free. A few weeks later he came back with a negative antibody test.
