    Drew was right in his initial these thesis, which was more geared to the media response rather than the virus itself. Notice he didn’t back track on his media stance.

    Until these antibody test results come out, no one should be declaring victory on anything.

    Bob, can you please expand on the antibody tests? I've avoided the news for about 3 days and a friend told me I should go be tested to see if my blood could be helpful. There's a good chance I had this crap in February.

    Not Bob, but antibody tests show whether someone has had COVID and then recovered at some point, from the presence of natural immune system response. That is, you had the 'Vid, your body created antibodies to fight it off, and this test looks for those markers that remain after the 'Vid is gone. The nasal taint swab test, I believe, only shows active virii running around in you.

    I think it would be very interesting to do random antibody testing in WA.

    As have I. But some here are too stupid to understand the difference.

    The WHO, CDC, Fauci and Birx have demonstrated without fail that they have no clue about how treat and slow down this pandemic. In fact the only ones who do know are the ones in the field treating it.

    I'm only doing the taint swab if she's hot. 5 years ago when I had to choose a new primary care physician this middle-aged, 7ish doctor walks in and begins all the pleasantries. I had already been looking at all her accolades on the wall which was oddly hot in its own way and now comes in that lady who I definitely wood.

    It would be.

    It would show that way more have the antibodies than what is in the models. Which means that all these heroic actions by governors didn’t actually save this thing to the extent they will claim. Which means the data won’t ever be collected and/or released.
