Have you taken an Covid antibody test?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Sounds to me like you guys are all referring to the rapid ANTIGEN tests....NOT Antibody tests.

Anyway, antibodies aren't all they're cracked up to be. A recent survey in the UK revealed 92.5% of adults had antibodies, yet infections are still about 40,000 a day, 8000 people are currently in hospital, 1000 people are on ventilators and 150 people die - every day.
Mate there are pushing 70 million people in the UK with an average daily death rate of 1400/1500

1000 people on ventilators and 150 people having covid (along with manifold other comorbidity) dying each day really isn't that big of a deal in a numerical sense, and would suggest that the 92.5% of antibody carrying population are all they are cracked up to be and that things will continue to improve with more time passed.

The flu (with a side of pneumonia) killed an average of 80 per day in 2018 and 2019, and every year before that broadly the same numbers.
