We really need an antibody test for us to go back to normal. I'd love to know if I have antibodies so I can go out of the house without concern. Because right now I think I may have had it earlier in the year. If I did, then I can mentally tell myself "alright it sucked but I got through that and don't have to worry about the worst of the illness" and I can live normally.
On the other hand, not knowing, maybe I was just sick with a normal illness and I still don't know if I catch this whether I'll get it mild, asymptotically, or get the worst.
Ignoring just testing for antibodies, the US only has tested 2 million people for COVID in a country of 350 million. That is still a pathetically small number.
That antibody test is going to be super important. I replied to another post in here about how rural communities are starting to get hit. Those rural areas are also were this nation's food is coming from. If we can find out who has had this, and determine that they do have an immunity, not only can people go back to work, but for those whose jobs may not be opening back up, or who have been jobless since before this, can go help in some of these parts of the country that are going to get hit and lose people.
