You can't. I've had it, my active antibodies lasted for 8 months. I still had to get vaccinated.

Have you had a negative antibody test?

Regardless, I'd still get the vaccine...

I had Covid 13 months ago. Very mild case. My last antibody test was November. It was still positive. I was vaccinated right after the New Year.

My wife caught it from me and had her last antibody test just before Christmas (again, positive). She got the J&J shot yesterday...

Yeah, I got my first negative antibody test last month. I get my second Covid Vaccine on Tuesday/

But it means nothing as science shows the important thing is the T cell and B cell ability to produce the antibodies on demand. So, I personally feel pretty good about there being a light at the end of the tunnel!

And with today's announcement that ALL Americans that want to be vaccinated will have the opportunity by April 19th means we should soon be able to live our lives much more normally..

Norwegian Cruise Line has announced all crew and passengers for their initial sailings must be vaccinated. No children will sail on these initial cruises because there is no approved vaccine for them yet. Norwegian stated there will be no exceptions.

It's a great way to get started. I assume we'll see more of that - it makes sense since it is the safest method to restart and the overall impact to adults is pretty minimal - only those medically unable to get the vaccine will not be able to participate right now. Of course, if it affects you, that stinks...

All other adults can travel; they just need to get inoculated. Easy stuff..
