How Antibody Testing Can Help Us Fight COVID-19

Healthline by Shawn Radcliffe on April 4,

•   The FDA approved the first antibody test for COVID-19.

•   Several groups are also working on a blood test that would show whether someone once had COVID-19, and possibly whether they’re immune.

•   These types of tests could help officials discover who’s no longer at risk for developing the disease.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved the first antibody test for COVID-19 on Thursday.

The approval comes as a number of academic laboratories and medical companies are developing blood tests to help identify people who have contracted SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

These tests could potentially identify those with immunity to the virus. This would enable healthcare workers, first responders, and other essential workers who are no longer at risk to return to work sooner.

Whoever is responsible for this testing in the Trump Administration should be terminated.  The importance of this test is huge, and little to no work has been done.  There is no excuse.

And Dr Fauci's continued refusal to embrace Hyroxychloroquine as a therapy is killing people.  There are docs that will not administer because of his mindset.  Dr. Fauci is the equivalent of Lincoln's McClelland.  He needs to go!!
