Rodneya?

We've learned huntsville hospital is providing antibody tests to people if it's ordered by a physician.

But a recent c-d-c guideline says the test can be wrong up to 50 percent of the time.

Hospital ceo david spillers says they use a specific test they believe is more accurate than others.

Antibody tests determine if you may have been exposed to the coronavirus or have some type of immunity to it.

Spillers also says if you have the antibodies...you could still be at risk.

Doesn't mean you are superman or superwoman and you're immune and you can go do it all these things.

You could be covid positive when you have the antibody test, so there's a variety of factors" spillers says they started offering the test because of a high demand right now the cdc says because many antibody tests are misleading.... they recommend no policies or guidelines are made based upon results.
