I had a bad flu at the end of January ,, it seemed a different flu to what i would have expected and although it does not seem so long ago , even then no-one was expecting it to be what it has turned out to be.

Fast forward

When I arrived back in OZ in mid March , I asked my Dr if I could have a test done for anti-bodies to the virus, and was told there were no test available.
I asked a second time a week later and was told the Corona virus does not leave any anti-bodies.
A few days age I asked at a different Doctors Consultancy and was told simply cannot be done.

Today I was going near the Gold Coast University Hospital where they have a special area set up to do testing for Corona Virus . Went through all the questions etc, only to be told NO, they cannot do testing for the anti-bodies
