The United States and South Korea had their first positive Covid19 cases on roughly the same day. South Korea did mass testing from the beginning and contact tracing and has had 236 deaths. The Trump Administration bungled testing for months and we now have over 49,000 deaths.

antibody test
Bottom line:
There is some irrational exuberance on antibody tests.

NEW: NYC Health Dept has sent alert to all medical providers advising *not* to use anti-body tests to diagnose prior covid infection nor to assess immunity.
