I just don’t know how to copy and paste with an iphone and no, no expert here

No need to copy/paste hell I could google it but I asked overbored instead but you replied so I figured yu knew the answer to my question

Would have to leave the tv for the pc. Not gonna happen with a boston game

Didnt think you had to leave TV thought you already knew the answer

What expert? As i told tony all our doctors, even the unvaxxed one who procrastinated and got hospitalized got the shot and advise their patients to do same. At our ages with desires to enjoy unmasked travel again it was a simple choice. If we grow a third ear or a tumor in 20 years, both quite unlikely of course, at least we enjoyed still another Viking cruise etc.

Is that a blood test?

Yes, Antibody tests are usually blood tests, but there are the odd saliva ones, NOT in the case of COVID...

ELISA, Enzyme Linked Immunoassay, is just a methodology for an assay to measure things like antibodies, hormones, etc. I could go on chapter and verse, even tell you how to make one, but it's not important...

Thank you I have had a few antibodiy blood tests for Covid I didnt know if thee was something new out

Elisa tests are 99% accurate but I'm not sure if you can walk into a Quest or LabCorp facility and request one.

My I suggest that Instead of saying ELISA, you may want to specify COVID Antibody Tests, you're confusing people. Not that it's important, but the old ELISA term has been rendered moot by things like chemiluminescence which remove the "E" from ELISA. Photon capture detection has replaced absorbance in all the newer instruments...

Folks CAN schedule COVID antibody tests w/Quest, not sure on LabCorp.

Tests are accurate, but that accuracy, and the both Positive Predictive and Negative Predictive Values hinge on taking the test a certain number of days post the presentation of symptoms. If you've never developed any symptoms, or you're being tested too early, the accuracy of these tests is reduced.

Folks may be confused by IgG vs IgM tests. I explained all this hundreds of pages ago and/or on the science, including PCR and Antigen testing on a disease progression timeline.

Here's the blurb from one manufacturer with my highlighting. Don't feel bad if this is all Greek to any of you, it's just as confusing to many Primary Care Physicians. Only Clinical Pathologists get detailed training in this, with other Docs dependent on what the computer-generated lab report tells them. Regrettably, that info in a vacuum without a close look and all clinical presentation can often result in missing something.

ARE COVID-19 ANTIBODY TESTS ACCURATE?

****** offers separate antibody tests to detects the IgG and IgM antibodies. To understand a test’s accuracy, scientists look at sensitivity and specificity.

In medical and scientific language, the IgG antibody test has 99.63% specificity and 100% sensitivity at the time of detecting antibodies 14 days or greater, post symptom onset. This means that 14 days after the onset of symptoms, the test will identify an individual who has developed IgG antibodies to the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) 100 % of the time. This is called the sensitivity of the test. This means that if you have developed IgG antibodies to the COVID-19 virus the test is able to detect them. The test also tells you that the antibodies the test detected are antibodies to the COVID-19 virus 99.63% of the time. This is called the specificity of the test.

Similarly, the SARS-CoV-2 IgM antibody test has a 99.56% specificity and 95% sensitivity for patients tested 15 days after symptoms started. Meaning that 15 days after the onset of symptoms, the test will identify an individual who has developed IgM antibodies to the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) 95% of the time (sensitivity) and 99.56%, the test tells you that the IgM antibodies detected are a result of the COVID-19 virus (specificity).

This means that if you receive a test for antibodies to the COVID-19 virus that detected antibodies, there is great certainty that these antibodies are to the COVID-19 virus and there is almost no possibility that the antibodies the test detected developed in response to another virus that you were previously exposed to.*

Hmm getting better
I’m the door
Thru tsa check
Into the coffee shop n snack shop
To the gate waiting to board

without even taking the face diaper out of my brief case

Even the flight crews is ok
So long as it’s near my face they seem ok

Proud of infecting other people yet? How many you recon you may have of killed so far?
:rolleyes:

Not my worry or fear
That’s your fear
Stop projecting it

Had one steward tell me that in order to eat my mask could be down but not off
A few minutes later he came back and apologized for being overly aggressive

progress

Damm Tony I didnt know you have Covid how ya feeling

I’m feeling ok
No symptoms
Can’t even get a dr to verify

but onacock knows

You have to be tested to know you have it.

Follow along rick
We all know that
Follow along

Only possible in a Covid Tyrannical Dystopian World.
So much for essential workers.
