Update on my friend who was hit with coronavirus

At the end of March, I wrote “First friend with COVID-19: mild symptoms for 5 weeks”. He recently got an antibody test:

So… he’s positive for antibodies to coronavirus, but “sensitive information, such as the sex of your baby” remains private.

His reflections on the experience:

  • “Maybe I should have taken off work when I had it.”
  • “It was like having three flus in a row.”
  • “I did some of my best work during that period.”

  1. philg: “So… he’s positive for antibodies to coronavirus, but “sensitive information, such as the sex of your baby” remains private.”
    No.

    You are having problems understanding basic English. Those are examples (not exclusive).

    That message is also a caution against clicking on the checkbox below (which the user clicked to get the sensitive information).

  2. We really need a blog post describing what the virus does to GREENSPUN. Maybe give some tour flights in a fully packed helicopter & take a United Airlines flight which is famously packing every seat.

    Some predictions:
    “It was like getting divorced 3 times in a row.”
    “Honda minivans desperately need Tesla’s biodefense mode.”

    • lion2: Thanks for the vote of confidence. As a resident of the United States’s plague annex, however, I think there is a good chance I have already had my coronavirus experience, but it got lost in the fog of the usual miserable Boston cold and flu season. I am hoping to get an antibody test one day.

      I am hoping that I can find a test from the Swiss elves (Roche): https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2020-05-03.htm

      But of course since we have a health care system in which the consumer is not worth communicating with, I am not sure how to find a lab that has the Roche machine!
