Interesting. You are correct...the links all worked yesterday...they all still work in the TPP forum.

Here are a couple more links about the Covid-19 antibody tests.

Mayo Clinic expects COVID-19 antibody test to be ready Monday

Researchers at Mayo Clinic expect to release a test that would tell whether a person has had and recovered from COVID-19 on Monday. The Star Tribune reports the University of Minnesota is also narrowing in on an antibody test.

The University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic are developing antibody tests that would tell whether a person has had COVID-19.

To track the spread of the virus through the country, we need to know who has been infected and since some people are infected and don't really show symptoms, we really don't know if they've been infected. So this antibody test can tell us about that," said Mark Jenkins, director of the Center for Immunology at the University of Minnesota.

The testing is not meant to diagnose current COVID-19 patients as it takes many days to build up antibodies. But Jenkins said even if people were infected months ago, they would still have antibodies in their blood.

Good news.
