Anti body test

Went to the local Kroger store and got an anti body test today for $25. Best result would be if I tested to show I had it already and did not know.

It was negative though.

I’ve been coughing hard the past week. Went to physician. He gave me the PCR test a couple days ago. Covid negative. What I did not know is the PCR kit he has runs a panel, not just Covid. Turns out it’s rhinovirus—common cold. I thought it was a great idea to run a panel. Costs the same as a single test.

Well I'm about to go get tested with the wife at the college where she works. Saliva test. Should know in about 3 to 5 days. Not an antibody test though so it'll only tell us is we currently are infected or not.

I go years between bad colds or the flu. But, then they're really bad. The first three times I was really sick was boot camp (mixed in with people from all over the US plus a few from the Philippines (when they could still join the US Navy)), Hawaii, and the Panama Canal Zone. But, I got even more sick right after the 2017 solar eclipse, not because of the moon blocking the sun, but I had a visitor at my house from South Africa. That was the worst flu I ever had. I almost went to the ER. I got better, but then got sick again two weeks later. I gave it to Frau Putzer, and she got sick and then better three times.

Right after Frau Putzer got back from New Orleans in the spring, I felt something coming on. But, in a few hours it was gone. That's happened three more times since then. I'm thinking about getting the anti-body test.

Then you would have been spreading it without knowing. Thats the worst case for anyone (given the 99.9% survival rate).
