Good morning, Marilyn. From my understanding, antibody tests can be used to check the efficacy of most any immunization we’ve received. As an example, If we get an MMR for preventions of measles, mumps and rubella, we can get our antibody level tested and if it’s above 250 we’re considered fully vaccinated because there are years of records and statistics which show the level needed for us to be protected.

With the Covid virus, all bets are off. Because it’s such a new virus with no historical data, and because it’s also continually mutating into yet another version of itself, it’s difficult with the limited information for scientists and researchers to say for certain what it takes in our systems to be effective at this time. As more data is available those numbers required for antibodies will eventually be more dependable.

I’m glad to hear you’re wearing the KN95 mask and doing all the right things to avoid Covid. It’s an easy thing to do and if everyone would just wear masks, the aerosol viral load would drop dramatically. But the deniers won’t do it, so it’s up to those of us who have compromised immune systems to defend ourselves.
It’s important for us to keep as active as possible too, for our health and well-being.

It’s wonderful you live in Florida where you are able to get outside year long. Helps a little with the cabin fever that comes this time of the year where I am. We’re expecting minus 15 tonight and our high today is 7 degrees. We’re heading to Florida this weekend for 8 weeks! Can’t wait. I love winter but not fond of the wind stinging my face these days. Hah, the mask helps keep me warm so there’s a plus side!

I hope you’re making progress with the broken femur. It’s great you’re able to get out for the PT appointments. With our days of isolation, even getting out to a medical appointment feels like a big social event! 😅 How frequently do you go?

Where did you find a lab that would release the actual data?(130)
