I might have missed it, but can someone tell me the advantages for getting the antibody test? I live in an area w/ the Quest labs, and could go and get it, but to what end? What does it mean - in terms of day to day life, travel and interacting with other people again - if I do or don't have the antibodies? If it was helpful to know that I did have the antibodies I'd get the test....I was under the impression that is was not conclusive that if you had a confirmed case of Covid, you couldn't get it again. So taking the antibody test and coming up negative doesn't mean I still can't get it, and taking the test and coming up positive doesn't mean I can't get it again and can't still spread it if I came into contact with it in the future? Am I wrong here?
I'd love to be able to get the antibody test and know that I can visit w/ my folks and others again.
I did get a Covid test, came back negative.
