I will throw out a hypothesis: one could almost say that Long COVID or as I call it “Post-COVID-19 Syndrome” is an autoimmune disease where the antibodies that develop after an acute infection target the body instead of the virus. It's a scary thought I know, what is scarier is for us to ignore the possibility that this virus is here to stay, but perhaps in different forms of other diseases.

Signal Diagnostics, a Los Angeles based CLIA laboratory and wholly owned subsidiary of Flow Health has validated and launched the Ortho Clinical Diagnostics COVID-19 antibody test.

We all know that COVID-19 is putting a huge strain on the entire healthcare system. Hospitals are overrun with acute cases for COVID-19. The ability to test and detect COVID-19 is crucial to understanding how the virus is spreading and what steps are needed to contain this ever growing pandemic.
