I honestly think I did have covid in early March, but I have no way to confirm without an antibody test.
Would you do anything differently if you took the test and the answer was "yes, you did"? I dont trust the tests enough to say that I would relax my precautions in public.
Right now? Probably not. I wouldn't even wear a mask if I didn't have to. But in the meantime, I have to when I go to the stores. I would just like to know so that I could have peace of mind knowing I had it.

Recognizing your behavior is the problem is a huge step.
A step twocoach will never take.
I have behaved in a thoroughly responsible manner in how I have interacted within my community in an effort to both reduce the risk of passing COVID-19 on to fellow community members as well as to attempt to spend money wisely to support smaller locally owned businesses.
Do you feel that I am refusing to reflect properly on my behavior as it concerns this virus? Or are you just going for a cheap put down?
The latter. I don't give a shit how you spend your money. I wish you were self aware in how you post.

I'd say the same about you when you break from discussing the topics at hand to hurl personal insults.
We can all improve. And even the greatest inevitably have detractors as well as things they could get better at. So be it.

I don't know about all that, but you had 2-3 posts today that made me wish you were our President.

Fauci been reading this message board.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.co ... index.html
"One of the problems we face in the United States is that unfortunately, there is a combination of an anti-science bias that people are -- for reasons that sometimes are, you know, inconceivable and not understandable -- they just don't believe science and they don't believe authority," Fauci said.
"So when they see someone up in the White House, which has an air of authority to it, who's talking about science, that there are some people who just don't believe that -- and that's unfortunate because, you know, science is truth," Fauci said.
"It's amazing sometimes the denial there is. It's the same thing that gets people who are anti-vaxxers, who don't want people to get vaccinated, even though the data clearly indicate the safety of vaccines," Fauci added. "That's really a problem."
No shit.

Well shit.
My Trout Unlimited bored has been doing phone conferences for our monthly meetings.
But now they want to resume in-person meetings at restaurants.
It’s a bunch of retired old boomers, and me, the token young guy who doesn’t want to SPREAD A FUCKING PANDEMIC TO YOU STUBBORN OLD ASSHOLES.
Man, I really really wish there was more to this reopening than “cross our fingers and hope to (not) die”

Any of you all get the antibody testing kit?
What's the false positive rate? I don't trust any of these tests to be accurate enough even if I could get my hands on one.
That's why I've held off. That and the fact they are over $100.
That's like....5 masks.

Symptoms are caused by increased immune response not seen in the asymptomatic.
Viral shedding, likely contagious stage, is longer in asymptomatic patients.
Antibodies go away quickly during revovery, so immunity might not last very long.

And asymptomatic people are exhibiting strange lung and organ damage. That may kill them later. Terrible disease. Apocalypse riding mother, this one.

And the median age was 41. So it doesn't just affect old people, whose lives don't count anyway.

If you could indulge me;
Symptoms are caused by increased immune response not seen in the asymptomatic.
Does this imply that asymptomatic people have a more robust infection, more lasting damage, etc.?
