If you could buy a test from somewhere like Amazon would you?

It occurs to me if you could test yourself, then you could go back to something of a normal existence. Work, shopping, family visiting.

To me Amazon would be the best distributor and pharmacies of course.

Oh gosh yes, I would do anything to be able to! I’m convinced my son has had it and he’s desperate to have the test because if he has, he can go and help at the supermarket replenishing shelves. He’s asthmatic so he’d rather test before risking it

I will buy an antibody test as soon as one is available. If it turns out that I have already been infected and recovered (as I suspect, with v mild symptoms) then I would volunteer a lot to help the vulnerable in my community. Right now I am strictly isolating.

Yes, but it only detects antibodies for about 33 days, according to that article, so needs rolling out quickly.
