The american red cross - now testing people blood donations for coronavirus antibodies.... this will let doctors know - how many people have been exposed to the virus even if you did not have symptoms.... if you have the anti-bodies - you could be a "convalescent plasma donor" - to help treat someone fighting the virus.... but testing positive - does not mean your immune to covid-19.... dr. mark fo?there some thought you may be re-infected with the common cold you can get it year after year.

There concern that coronavirus could be like that with some antibody?

Antibody tests should take 7 to 10 days - and your county health department will be notified of the results.... if you are interested in donating blood - you can make an appointment at red cross dot org.... kentuckians
