China Corona Virus Outbreak

no.
not unless the test was specifically designed to do that.

antibody tests are very very specific.

this is from the CDC website:

if that were true,
and because the common cold is ubiquitous,
either the vast majority of the human race would be immune from covid 19 (alas, it is not),
or we would be getting a lot more positive results for antibody, than what we are getting now.

there certainly a lot of things we do not know yet, regarding covid 19.

my guess is,
they are wording their words carefully, so as to keep their options open for justin.

Paris (AFP) - Could exposure to the coronaviruses that cause the common cold help protect against COVID-19? Is herd immunity closer than previously thought?

As nations lift lockdowns and experts worry about a potential second peak in cases, our ability to ward off infection is one of the hottest topics of scientific debate.

Ever since it became apparent that children were less vulnerable to COVID-19 early in the pandemic, scientists have speculated that the regular spread of benign viruses in places like schools could have bolstered their immune response to the latest coronavirus.

Now the idea of "cross immunity" among the broader population is gaining some ground.

In a recent post on Twitter, Francois Balloux of University College London noted an "intriguing" lack of an immediate resurgence in COVID-19 cases following the easing of lockdowns in several countries.

Among the possible explanations, he noted, were seasonality and enduring social distancing practices.

But he posited a "wilder" hypothesis as well -- that a "proportion of the population might have pre-existing immunity to #SARSCoV2, potentially due to prior exposure to 'common cold' coronaviruses".

Balloux said that might explain issues like cases where there is no transmission between spouses.

Earlier this month, an American study in the journal Cell suggested between 40 and 60 percent of the population could be immunized against COVID-19 without ever being exposed to it.

Researchers put this down to the action of protective cells, known as T lymphocytes, that had been activated by other coronaviruses responsible for colds.

But authors Alessandro Sette and Shane Crotty, of La Jolla Institute for Immunology, cautioned that the research did not suggest the epidemic was running out of steam.

"Clearly some individuals are more susceptible to the disease than others; after being infected some individuals have severe clinical symptoms and might even die, while others might show very little in terms of clinical symptoms," they told AFP by email.

may explain why many people who got infected with SARSCOV-2 develop only mild symptoms or no symptoms at all

well, we certainly have our research to search for the answer...

what are the "covid 19 positive re-tests" ?
are these new names with initially questionable results, hence the re-test?
or are they old positive patients for follow-up test? because if they are, dapat hindi na yan lumalabas sa tallyboard. pampagulo lang yan.

so my Mom used to call me paranoid and acting ridiculous, but now that her friends are scared of GCQ, it finally sunk into her. I should not go out for 3 more months daw (I have a job though ) and we can't have our help come in for the same time

Sabi nga ni shadow, life is short na nga, we wasted so much time pa

just wait for at least 2 weeks after the GCQ is in effect.
tignan natin kung gaano ka-effective ang kanilang covid measures.

I'd vote for him if he can get that done. Otherwise, he should lose na.

Wala na nga, ang magiging pinaka ECQ/total lockdown is whole building, subdivision, Barangay or street level na lang.

Basta pag nagka cluster lockdown nila then meron zones kung ilan kilometers from the hot zone.
