Yes but even assuming he tests positive for antibodies , it is way more likely that it would be due to a more recent but completely asymptomatic infection rather than due to a very very early infection when the only few cases we know weren't even in the same region.
- maxerickson 5y agoYeah. Also, I've heard multiple anecdotes of people who had some nasty infection that winter and did get an antibody test that came back negative. Something else was going around.
- acdha 5y agoInfluenza was bad. My father in law had a bad case in February 2020, lab verified, and gave it to us. Even with the flu vaccine it was notably worse than anything we had with a kid in daycare.
- didibus 5y agoTrue, but at least if they test negative they know for sure it was something else.
