http://youtu.be/s37NcZek9Tw Antibody tests are flooding the market, but only four so far are FDA-approved. Dr. Mike, a family medicine physician, says we still don't have enough information to be able to confirm whether or not someone is immune to COVID-19 —even if the person has tested positive for and subsequently cleared coronavirus. Unlike the measles or chicken pox vaccine, which ensure long-lasting immunity, the length of time for COVID-19 immunity is still a big unknown. "There exists an assumption where people think that if they test positive for antibodies, meaning that they have antibodies in their bloodstream, that they're automatically immune to COVID-19. And while that's decent thinking, it's not 100-percent accurate," he explained. Moving forward, Dr. Mike Varshavski, w...

Fauci said on “Good Morning America” that “we still have a way to go” with antibody, or serology, tests, which check for proteins in the immune system through a blood sample. The presence of proteins means a person was exposed to the coronavirus and developed antibodies against it, which may mean they have at least some immunity. Health officials suggested that tests could be used as a way to help determine when to reopen communities. “The problem is that these are tests that need to be validated and calibrated, and many of the tests out there don’t do that. So ev...
