I agree with the obsession with the "test kits". The tests that are hard to come by, hard to process, and only detect active viruses.

Antibodies are what we need to be testing for. 10 minutes from blood to result. Works on formerly infected and currently infected.

It's important to know the difference between people who are still infectious and those that have completely recovered and have no virus in their body. An antibody test can't tell you that.
