If that were the case, then since hardly anyone was sick, hardly anyone should have had antibodies.

Unless, of course, the antibody test is too general, and is picking up false positives, or antibodies that have nothing to do with COVID.

The media is full of news about the unreliability of antibody tests. Search "antibody tests unreliable" and you will see.

Just one example here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/09/uk-government-...
