Locally we're having a blood drive, with COVID antibody testing...just wondering if this is the new way to inflate the (positive) cases?

I give platelets monthly. We were shut down for a couple months but gave in May and June. They did not state they were looking for COVID antibodies and I was not informed that I came back positive either. Due again in early July. Bryce Just wondering, there is a drive here that they are advertising antibody tests,and with world in which we live, I wondered if it wasn't a ply.

During the lengthy shutdowns many hospitals did very little to no elective surgeries so the need for blood and platelets, etc. was not that critical. Now as more care units are opening up for elective surgeries and more being scheduled the need for blood and blood products is increasing. The fact that they will or can offer each person an antibody test along with the donation of needed product seems to me a good thing for the donor and not so much a ruse.
Bryce Agreed, just wonder if a positive (antibody) test will result with a positive (case)?

YJ it shouldn't result in a positive result.
They test for the coronavirus antibodies which encompasses a whole host of viruses. So to narrow it down to COVID-19 would be dang near impossible unless they come up with a test for this specific strain.

there is a blood drive that happens quarterly at a church in town.
I used to go , but now I am on the blood thinners and don't think they would want me.

I wasn't implying that one shouldn't give blood, just curious if anyone else considered the possibility of corruption. Plus, wondered if positive if they would accept it. Good replies!

Just gave this morning at 7:15AM, my third for 2020. Easiest thing I can do to help others. Did not get asked for antibody testing. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
