> I'm not sure this is accurate. I'm pretty sure it is, and the CDC seems to agree with me: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/serology-overview.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/serology-o... "Some people may take even longer to develop antibodies, and some people who are infected may not ever develop antibodies." This is a well known phenomenon in other diseases as well, why should COVID-19 be the exception here? > If you recover, you've created antibodies. No, that is not a valid line of reasoning. There is a high likelihood that you did, but not a 1:1 correspondence.
