Well, here we go again. If you can't get there by golf cart, then it doesn't exist.

A woman just posted on The Villages Talk Facebook that she got an antibodies test done on Saturday at the new pharmacy at Freedom Plaza. That's the new shopping center west of the new Brownwood Hotel on 44. She said it was $30, she didn't need an appointment. I asked why she got the test, and she said she is in a high risk group and hadn't been feeling well lately, her test was negative.

There are ways to REDUCE the risk of death if you test positive. Yes your own ability to fight it off is important, crucial even. But if the hospital knows that you might become an "incoming COVID-19" patient if your symptoms get bad enough, they might be better able to handle you, than if you show up without notice to the ER. |

From CDC: Antibody blood tests, also called antibody tests, check your blood by looking for antibodies, which show if you had a previous infection with the virus. Depending on when someone was infected and the timing of the test, the test may not find antibodies in someone with a current COVID-19 infection.

If you do not have symptoms why go to a testing centre?
A lot of people with symptoms maybe waiting for a test! Do the testers change all their protective clothing after each test? |

If you get tested for the virus, and test positive, you can isolate for the 14 days or more assuming you develop symptoms.
If you test negative for the virus, that means you do not have it at the time of the test. How many days will you wait before you go and get tested again, "just in case you pick it up." With symptoms, test makes sense; without symptoms test for virus makes less sense unless you are testing for antibodies, or you know you have recently been around a person who is/was tested positive. Again a negative test for antibodies only means you are negative at the time of the test. Positive means you were exposed, but does not prove immunity--at least yet. I had labs done for a regular follow-up and asked the lab tech at my doctor's office if she could also get me an antibody test. She said she could do it if the doctor ordered it, but he was not in that day.
