I have a question abt antibody tests
What abt false negatives?
"Because it takes several days to weeks for the immune system to produce enough antibody to be detected, diagnosis of an infection may be delayed. Antibody tests done right after people become ill are often negative"

Surely when they'll be rolled out, that will be made crystal clear?
And maybe that useful information could be completed with tests that tell people who are sick that they are sick, so they are careful/don't infect people in their homes?
(Just a thought)

I mean, people who take a home test saying they don't have #covid19, they will be warned they may have it but it's not showing yet and told to keep taking precautions/take another test in a few days?
(Also there can't be any false positive, right? A NHS worker with a false positive result getting back to work told he/she doesn't need protection would be a disaster. There is a 100% certainty, right?)
Because -I understand it's cheap, and fast
But shouldn't it be used in tandem with this other cheap and fast test (or an equivalent) able to let people now if they are sick now?
If the point is to win the fight/end isolation -why not use the whole package?
