I just got a coronavirus antibody test this morning, results are due Friday. [View all]

I'm in Colorado, limited testing but I was the second one in line, they swabbed the back of my throat, similar to a strep test.

Update, just received my results, negative on both tests, no antibodies unfortunately...just went back to work today
