This was my experience as well. In SF and got symptoms mid Feb, doctor visit two weeks later concluded pneumonia and gave me antibiotics, no covid tests available, took 2+ months to recover. Later got Abbott Architect antibody test and it was negative, but I'm skeptical of the result.

What is Abbott's false negative rate again? Im remembering initially it was sort of high, but I don't recall offhand.

> Dr. Francis Collins, director for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), said the Abbott ID Now machine, which is used to perform rapid coronavirus tests, has “about a 15% false negative rate.”
