Bold hopes for antibody tests still unfulfilled
At the height of lockdowns President Trump and health advisers touted a coronavirus antibody test to show if people had immunity and could return to work. Months later tests flood the market yet their usefulness remains unproven with experts urging caution about relying on them for returning to school or office. Research on immunity and duration continues as vaccine development accelerates. Antibody tests aid large population studies and plasma donation but are not a basis to end precautions or return to normal.
