It has impact for antiserum blood plasma transfusion, where you take blood from a recovered Covid19 patient and give to one with a severe case. If 8% does not have anti bodies you may need to get blood plasma from several donors to hedge the statistical odds of 8% do not develop anti bodies. Say you get blood plasma from three donators is that 0.08 times 0.08 times 0.08? At least it would be safer with two middle aged donors.
