I just hope these tests really do work and that we will be able to see whether the antibodies have a long life span, whether mild cases can even develop the antibodies and hopefully see whether we are any where near to herd immunity. If they can be used to get results on people who had a recorded positive test for CV19 early on it may give us a small measure of hope.
Sounds promising.
