I actually just got my tests last week. Came back positive for the anti-bodies. My healthcare friend in New York said the amount of positive anti-body tests is showing how many people were actually exposed to the virus. And there is still weeks backup for a lot of people to get tests and results.

Wow, well hopefully you can rest a bit easier now. I am currently staying in Upstate New York until things are reasonably opened back up in Philadelphia. I don't think testing is so readily available up here, although that may be changing.

I don’t expect you to understand this, however. You’re the poster who didn’t care to wear a mask unless it matched your shoes.
Sorry you have the wrong person, Im not matching a mask with anything lol

If people aren't getting asymptomatic spread by now, I don't think they will ever understand it.

Sorry, wrong forum. Anyway, I was negative and will continue to shelter in place, way past the summer. I'm in Montgomery County.
June 5 is when the Phila. metro may go to yellow. For me it won't really change anything.

You probably know that it is still unknown how much immunity you may have and/or how long it will last.

"may go to yellow"? I thought it was already established by the Gov. that all of the state will be at least in yellow on June 5.

The governor has said he anticipates this will happen.
