4 years ago That’s interesting! We’ve been thinking about it, of course. But most people we’re talking to do not anticipate the antibody testing to be widespread that soon.
Thank you for thinking of us!

Sort of a meta-issue, but antibody testing results should start being available before too long, and I'd like to make sure the project is ready to track those results (assuming it wants to).
Specifically, adding IgG and IgM tested/positive/negative for upcoming rapid tests would be hugely useful as soon as that data starts becoming available.
If the project is already ready to handle it, it also gives an incentive to anyone who does have that data to make it available to this project, so as to get it in as many hands as possible.
While no national labs seem to be preparing to do antibody testing, at least some independent medical facilities and state labs reported already are, or will soon be.
As an example, this facility expects to have 12K test kits this week: https://www.ocregister.com/2020/03/25/garden-grove-doctor-one-of-first-in-u-s-to-offer-coronavirus-rapid-blood-test/
