The Denny theory; is there a possibility you've had Covid19?

Hamilton County

Sorry, but I meant where in Hamilton county. I'm very interested in being tested.

At Riverview Health, but it was an employer sponsored event only. I'm not sure if or when public testing will be available, or how many employers are part of the agreement.

Thanks for that info !

I have 2 friends that separately describe having the "worst flu of their life". One was around January, the other was around March. Both tested negative for the flu, but the corona-panic wasn't here yet.

My test results came back this morning and I tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 antibody. I had a very mild flu with loss of taste and smell way back in January or February. Must’ve been the ‘Rona.

My blood type is O+ and I have read that COVID-19 symptoms can be milder with this blood type. Now it’s time to donate plasma or whole blood to help others.

Excellent!

Good news for me if true.

Great! Same here. Mine was late december into January. Have the antibodies too.

 

[gregkl]

I'm O negative.

Once this past late winter I felt a little under the weather for a couple days. But, knock on wood, I have had any kind of flu maybe 1-2 times since I have been married. Which as been 36 years.

I haven't had a cold in over 3 years.

I have always been a judicious hand washer and water drinker which I think helps a lot.

 

[bwframe]

Ooh, this is interesting!

Wonder what others who have been antibody tested have found?

Do we know if the antibody testing is different (or more accurate) than the drive up testing that they are doing in places like Nashville?

 

[cbhausen]

I just found out I can make $200/week donating plasma...

That's a new rifle a month

The antibody testing is done with a blood draw and is highly accurate.

Odd use of the word "donating" (yes, I know that's the word they use). Sounds like what we used to call "selling"...which is, of course A-OK.

 

[bwframe]

How many times per week for $200?

If serious, I'm about to fire up the Kaw and head that way.

$100 for about an hour and a half, allowable 2x each week.

Hell yeah.i was willing to sell a left nut for gun money. Guess this will have to do

Taking off on a tangent, I was just looking into the antigen testing, and by chance discovered that the local blood bank lifted the ban on blood donations from military members and family members who were stationed in Europe back in the 80s/90s. This is based on FDA's reconsideration of the issue (mad cow disease exposure). Woot!

Oh. Just remembered I think I was also deferred for time spent in the sandbox region. Have to check into that. But if you were ever deferred because of time in Europe, check back, the rules are a-changing.

Interesting. I've got a fairly uncommon type and it seems they're looking for it fairly regularly.

And on another note, The Boss was tested for the antibodies about a month ago and came back positive, so I'd say we DID have it earlier this year. And that also doesn't mean you're immune. I tested positive Monday, her results are pending, so we're in quarantine. Had a chest xray yesterday that shows some non-typical pneumonia, shortness of breath, cough, sore throat, very severe headache, and absolutely no sense of smell or taste. But no fever, go figure. Actually my temp was a little on the low side.

My son-in-law had it. No fever with him either. All he had was the loss of taste and smell.

In one of our buildings at work, the "flu" ripped through virtually everyone. This was in early January. They all had varying degrees of symptoms, some saying it seemed different than other years.

Fast forward to a month ago, one of guys had to have some kind of surgery so when they drew blood, they tested for the anti-body. Yes, he tested positive. They all feel pretty confident that they all had it.

Any idea where you got it? Mask, or no?
