I don't know how much precedent there is for this type of testing (have we used similar things for Ebola or SARS or measles or anything else?). I've read that this will be useful in broad studies to track how widely the disease might have spread without being diagnosed. But will this type of antibody test eventually be available for any doctor to order for a patient? I'm just getting over a fairly mild but persistent chest cold which also had me with a slight fever last week, and would really like to know if it is/was covid-19 or not. Last week when I still had the worst of the symptoms, my doctor said I didn't meet enough of the criteria to be tested.
