New Abbott SARS-CoV-2 antibody test has 99.90% specificity and 100% sensitivity
I took this antibody test through LabCorp on Friday and tested positive. I have been in strict (see: paranoid) isolation with one other person since March 7 and haven't felt sick or anything close to it since then.<p>I did have what I thought was a strange flu/cold early February with a sore throat, post-nasal drip, wildly varying body temperature, and lower back pains. In hindsight those are COVID-19 symptoms.<p>the person I live with took the same Abbott Architect antibody test from LabCorp today so that we can compare results and hopefully eliminate any false positives.<p>more info on the test: <a href="https://www.corelaboratory.abbott/us/en/offerings/segments/infectious-disease/sars-cov-2?fbclid=IwAR2lTmGoOE89ddmQKP2Kxr0kCOF1D0uUI3Xs5NHiJbXZRIIPCwW3yqotIR8" rel="nofollow">https://www.corelaboratory.abbott/us/en/offerings/segments/i...</a><p>FDA article from 05/07/2020 on serology test performance including the Abbott Architect from OP: <a href="https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/eua-authorized-serology-test-performance" rel="nofollow">https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-med...</a>
