Thanks everyone for response, I drive suspect covid-19 patients for testing, in specific vehicles designed for this, as well as drive Renal and all other patients to/from hospital
I completed the test requirements last week but still no word of antibody test
they said 5 - 14 day wait. |

"Am I right in thinking only a blood test will be able to test for the anti bodies or am I wrong "
My understanding is that the finger prick test, that I done at home for a survey, is not 100% accurate, so it's best to have blood drawn at a clinic  |

"I know people who have had the anti bodies test but they all went private. "
Same here Lorna. My sister in law and her husband had the virus in March, up until their last test last month, they are still testing positive for antibodies. |

This is the problem
There probably millions out there who have had the virus and not known they had it
Until we get a mass speedy antibody test we will never know the full extent of this
Indications show that it is widespread but just how widespread still isn't known. |

The IPSOS/imperial college study gives the government some idea of the countrywide antibody level. I have had a swab test but they do antibody tests too. |

"Is the antibody test available to all on the NHS now?"
No it’s restricted to a few groups currently. I have a test on the way. Although anyone can be selected at random to do a test for research. |

I had to do a finger prick test, damned hard getting a blood drop in that well! My test looked like something from a crime scene on CSI! Thank God for the little straw in the kit! |

Tested positive for antibodies in June after having unconfirmed covis in April. Mr KC tested negative. I waited 7 days for my results.
I wasn't able to give plasma as my veins weren't large enough- probably the only thing about me that isn't large!!
Now have long covid but I'm here which is all.good when so many haven't survived |
