This is just a repeating of the info from the LA tests.

The problem with that antibody test in particular is that it is likely also detecting antibodies for other cold-causing coronaviruses and has been shown that 30% of its positives results can be from detecting antibodies for influenza.

With 100+ antibody tests on the market (and only a handful certified by the FDA - some advertised as 90% accurate actually were found to be only 6%-70% accurate) I would caution about trying to jump to conclusions to justify a particular policy. There is some serious science that needs to be done to sort out real results from the garbage (and that's not even considering the politics being heaped on)
