Interesting. I've long been of the opinion that I was definitely NOT exposed to it, although I had a persistent lingering cold in late feb/early march. (Symptoms took way longer than usual to clear -- but no flu symptoms).
That said, if it was in California before folks thought it was, it's theoretically possible.
My wife works in a hospital and will be tested for COVID-19 and antibodies, FINALLY, sometime this week (we think). If, for some reason, she happens to have antibodies, I'm going right out to get tested myself-- and, actually, I'd like us BOTH to get tested for antibodies (second time for her) because otherwise we'd be left guessing if one of us had antibodies and the other did not.
- indecisive_user 6y agoThis is your wife whom you presumably spend most of your time with and sleep next to, right? With the long incubation period and how contagious it is, I'd assume the chance of a false negative (.1% in the new Abbott test) would be higher than her having caught it and somehow not passing it to you.
