Antibody testing

The big issue with all this current fuss over antigen test numbers is that nobody is looking at how reliable the results are. The standard ones are wrong 30% of the time. Others are wrong far more often. This explains people testing positive - negative - negative. Shitty false positive tests rather than people lacking immunity.

Anyway, antibody testing rolled out. NHS workers first, essential workers second. Start easing lockdown. Antigen test those with symptoms. Hopefully treatment improves lowering death rate. Elderly + vulnerable need to wait for vaccine.
