Are anti-body tests available to purchase on the commercial market yet? I'd like to know if I already had it so I can get on with my life.

It's illegal to sell them directly to customers in the US as of now. You can buy them in bulk relatively easily.

Really happy to see this. Really happy to see the extra "Who is Hiring" post the other day. In passing, I also noticed a title about YC going all remote for their upcoming batch. All good stuff. I'm impressed by the proactive response. If they haven't already, I would love to see something like this focused on any YC companies involved in providing remote work options.

Can you still carry it / spread it after you’ve had it and recovered?

When you recover from a virus, antibodies are in your body. These can be detected, Once you're recovered, you can no longer spread the disease. Problem is, people with mild symptoms believe they don't have it, or have recovered.

I'm one of the many, many people who has been ill for a while during the past weeks, and would like to know if I had it. If I can know for sure that I had it, and no longer have it, then I can "move on with my life" indeed. As in, I no longer have to worry about getting this disease, spreading this disease, or getting organ damage from this disease. Most important, I'll know that when I visit my mother (nearly 70, and risk group) that I won't spread the disease to her. Same for my mother in law.

If you're not shedding viruses, you can't spread it.
