Companies create test to see if your immune to Coronavirus

One company is trying something new.

They are creating a test that will tell a person if they are immune to the Coronavirus after being infected.

MEETING TODAY TO CONSIDER ASTAY-AT-HOME ORDER.WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT AT X:00.WE’VE SHARED SEVERALCOMPANIES... WHO ARE WORKING ONWAYS TO BETTER TEST FOR THECORONAVIRUS.BUT SOME... ARE TRYING SOMETHINGDIFFERENT-- THEY’RE TESTING HOWIMMUNE PEOPLE ARE TO THE VIRUS.ONE METHOD FROM ’BIO-AMERICA’ ISA FINGER-STICK TEST THAT’SDIFFERENT FROM SWABBING FOR ANACTIVE INFECTION ANDADMINISTERING A VACCINE.INSTEAD, IT DETERMINES WHAT YOURBODY’S ALREADY DONE... OR *NOT*DONE FOR YOU... TO HELP YOU KNOWWHAT YOU CAN OR *CAN’T* DO FORDAILY ACTIVITIES.[Notes:102-125]"So what we’retrying to do is to be able toproduce a test that’s IgG-IgM(types of antibodies), becauseas your body... as your bodyresponds to a virus, you developIgM antibodies and that tellsyou that your body is infectedand that you’re infectious andyou need to stay home.

But asthose IgMs come down and the IgGantibodies come up, it now saysyou’re not infectious and itmeans you’ve been exposed to thvirus, but you’re safe to goout.’BASICALLY... IF YOU GET THECORONAVIRUS... MOST OF US WILDEVELOP ANTIBODIES TO IT AFTERWE GET IT... GIVING US ANIMMUNITY TO THE VIRUS.IT’S LIKE HOW YOUR BODY BUILDSUP A DEFENSE TO DIFFERENTSTRAINS OF THE FLU EVERY YEAR.HOWEVER... OTHER SCIENTISTSHOWEVER WEREN’T AS OPTIMISTIC ASTHAT WOMAN WAS... ABOUT WHENYOU’D BE SAFE TO GO OUTSIDEAGAIN.[Notes:126-143 BUTT 145-159]Thetwo questions are... are thoseantibodies enough to protectthem from getting re-infected...so can they go back to work, toschool, with their dailyactivities, knowing ’I’mimmune’?

And how long would theylast?"BUTTED TO"COVID-19 is very new.
