Hmm

You seem to be mixing up antigen and antibody tests.

Antigen tests like the PCR indicate acute, current infection.
Antibody tests indicate past infection.
A person who recovered from the disease should have a negative antigen test and a positive antibody test.
I was speaking to the positive of an antibody test. I never mentioned antigen tests at all: "...tested positive which they will due to having the antibodies in their immune system...."

But testing positive for antibodies for a recovered person is not at all a reason for concern...
Exactly my point.

re: Testing positive for antigens a second time. I couldn't find in the article that those testing positive for antigens a second time showed symptoms.

PNW was concerned that one could be reinfected and that seems not to be the case. Correct? Hmm
