The NY data really makes me want to get an antibody test.   In early March for the first time in years I had a fever and other flu-like symptoms, for 2 days, after spending an evening in a meeting next to someone that had a persistent cough for weeks after visiting China in December.   At the time I was so worried he had COVID19.   Now I almost hope he did have COVID19.

Like you, I’ve combed through memories to see whether there is any way I might have antibodies, but for me it feels very unlikely because I just can’t get the timeframes to line up (I visited Vancouver BC for Christmas, but it wouldn’t start getting cases for another two months...) While I hope you do have immunity, if your co-worker was in China in *December*, and he sat next to you in *March*, that would be an awfully long cough. If people were walking around feeling ok, coughing and contagious for 3-4 months, the Ro would be a gazillion.
