Have you gotten one of those antibody tests? I would like to get one of those rather than the PCR which I have done many many times and always tested negative.
Just a speculation on my part but if we were to antibody test on the level that we have PCR tested, I think we would find that almost everyone has already had Covid at least once - the jury is still out (I think) on whether or not you can get it more than once. If you know differently tell me about it. If we look online we of course get a no and yes answer to anything covid related.
I haven't, actually.. The only tests that I've gotten have been the at home "Binaxnow" lateral flow antigen tests.
As for getting it twice, I don't have absolute proof, but I know 2 people who got it in the first wave before the vaccine was out. Then they got both got vaccinated and were fine until omicron came around, then they got it again. Interestingly, both people who I talked to were not boosted, but had 2 original shots.
When I got it in December, I was in the same situation. I had gotten the two initial shots, and I was actually scheduled to get my booster at a local CVS like 2 days after I started getting symptoms.
I think almost everyone has gotten Omicron at this point. We have been so damn careful. I still don't know how we got it. It is just that damn contagious!
well let's just hope that what I have been hearing about Omicron being the "good one" to get is true in that it is mild and has very little chance of killin ya.
Amen to that bro
