Amid the bleakness of the current pandemic, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, delivered some hopeful news last Friday. In a CNN appearance, he said antibody tests for the novel coronavirus would be available within days, and that “a rather large number of tests” would roll out in about a week. These tests could indicate whether someone has been infected with the virus and has immunity to it, in which case they might be able to go back to work — crucial if they’re health workers on the front lines. The big hope is that antibody tests could help us safely, and strategically, resume normal life.
