I have the antibodies, so I am immune to Covid 19. I am donating plasma. This is a great way to help others, which many here are of the age group most at risk.
If you are fortunate enough to have the ability to help others, please do so.
Even simple things like picking up groceries, mail or meals can be helpful to those who are compromised or at risk.

I thought the only way you acquired the antibodies was to have had Covid19 and recovered?
Don't you have to be symptomatic to get a test?(short supply)
Those who were international aircrew were tested.
Are you O+? I understand A blood group gets it the worst and O+ the least.
Yes, I am O+ as well.
As am I. Universal donors we are. Did you even have any symptoms?
Just a little over-tiredness in January for about five days. My body temperature is normally about 96 degrees. I had a low fever of about 99.5.
That would be just over 101.4 to those who run the normal 98.6
My wife and I are in quarantine here in Dallas, TX and our daughter and husband in Austin, TX
are ordering food for us by an AP. The food is bought by a young person and delivered to our door.
Works great and we stay as safe as we can. Our immune systems are compromised. My wife by
being a cancer and later stroke survivor and I by my heart problems after my dental visit.

You are few weeks behind us. Peapod is no longer accepting orders and the last they were scratching off aout 60% of your order as being unavailable.
Now things like Lisol wipes and toilet paper have been UA since the begining but now things like canned soupes and bottled water are UA indefinitely.
The shelves in the super markets are about 75% empty and as yet there is no explanation from anyone about anything.
So Keith's prediction of institution of "Martial Law"may be approaching?
Not having enough medical supplies is one thing, but no food on the shelves is entirely another?

I am in Colleyville. If I can be of help let me know.

Thanks Keith for your offer but we are okay for now.

I'm curious as to how you discovered you had the antibodies? Specifically was there a test you took? If so, what was the exact test that you took? I'm interested because I'd like to take it to

Quick and good recovery to you and your wife.

If you're curious Chris I can discuss outside the forum. I wouldn't want to clutter the lounge with non-car chat. I just got threated about being removed permanently again. No good deed goes unpunished.
I got thrown out of a Rolls Royce convention once while at a firm golf outing with clients. Saw all those vintage Rolls in the parking lot of a private convention and said to the client screw the golf let's go check out those cars! We did and were escorted out by security after we'd seen most of the collection. It was a shining moment. I haven't been banned from Saac yet though I do have more than a few nonsequiturs in my posts which I confine to The Lounge. Plus side when I drive and particularly when I'm in my Hertz, my car observes all social distance rules. So there's my Shelby related content to this post as inane as it sounds.

Bwahahaha! It's been so quiet that most get a look at the taillights from much further than two meters. LOL
Not that I get grief from LE, but they don't seem to care that I'm running 20-25 over on the main thoroughfare.
It's six lanes wide.

So I spoke to my doctor who is also a close friend and he confirmed that you are correct. The only way you could possess the antibodies is to have recovered from Covid19. That being said not all people will present with the same symptoms. It is also possible to be asymptomatic but that make you a carrier. This is the danger of this particular virus, you may not realize you are a carrier and infect others. He went on to say that the likely hood of contracting Covid19 and not showing even mild symptoms is at this point in time very rare, but that could change as the virus mutates.
Best advice is to remain isolated. Can't catch fish if you don't go to the pond ;)
Chris: I am one of those people who rarely get sick and recover quickly. I am glad I can help others. I am hoping people don't live in fear and go back to living quickly. As for Bill Gates. I would NEVER take any so-called vaccine he offered. If Bill Gates and the WHO have something, they planned this. We have the best and brightest working on this and ol' Billy Boy isn't the savior.
