RE: need for antibody testing19 Jun 2020 23:38
Woodstock. I believe it is not a true reinfection but the virus doesn't fully go away and rebuilds to carry on an infection rather than starting from new. It is a very unique little bugg*r this one and like nothing seen before so nobody really can be sure until after an event happens. There is a lot of guesstimation and intuition going on alongside the facts. My background is bacteria but I am not an expert in viruses. It is here to stay and tests are needed to provide passports. I have confidence in ODX but also learning so much from people on this BB about dealing in general and games people play. Enjoying the lessons and you are never too old to learn something new.
Generally, viruses are very temperature sensitive and this one isn't and this is the big difference. Scientist are having to deal with something almost unknown on top of record speed to get a answer and then a cure/prevention. Imagine having 7 billion people shouting "are we nearly there yet"? and you haven't even left your driveway.
