Delighted If That’s The Right Word ?

[Bobbisox1]

My daughter who works in a busy dental practice as a clinical manager, ordered 25 antibody tests for staff, hers came back positive so it seems she’s definitely had Covid 19 in March and now she has the antibodies

[MartinMillar]

Ooh well done delighted for you.

[Bobbisox1]

^^^ I doubt that very much but I’ll live :0)

[MartinMillar]

No I am truly delighted

[daisypotter]

That's good news Bobbi. Of course delighted is the right word. Any Mum would be x

Smashing news, and soon hopefully they will be able to work out how much immunity having had the virus and recovered gives a person.

[Bobbisox1]

She’s pleased just knowing I suppose Daisy, I know she was very ill although not ventilated thank God

[Bobbisox1]

Would be interesting finding out Mamy

[Mamyalynne]

Sure would, and give hope to many more.

[Patsy33]

Such a worry at the time but at least some positivity, hopefully, has come out of it. :-)

Bobbisox, Dr Mark Porter has an interesting column in today's Times. It's 'The Antibody Test - what the result does and doesn't tell you'. I can't do a link as the Times has a paywall.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes indeed Patsy , as a Mum it was terrifying

[Bobbisox1]

I think I’d rather be oblivious to that n.a.c , I’m a happy lady this evening

[Neveracrossword]

Bobbisox, I've had a quick read and there's nothing bad in it! I quite like Mark Porter - I think he used to be on one of the breakfast programmes.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes I know who he is :0)

[Tilly2]

She must be very relieved. Antibodies must count for something, surely. Let's hope so.

[Bobbisox1]

Thank you Tilly, yes she is, both her and one of the Dentist have tested positive , he’s now retired , as he was due to , no leaving party with people he’d worked with for over 40 years, hopefully they’ll now be able to organise something for him

[Neveracrossword]

Sorry, Bobbisox, I thought the article might be useful as you'd said you'd 'be interested in finding out' and there might have been information for you.

PS your news itself was great.

[Bobbisox1]

Thank you n.a.c

[bednobs]

I agree. I was strangely received when I found out mine was positive. Not least that I had it and didn't die!

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, that's exactly right - my daughter was just the same. Knowing you were strong enough to get it and recover makes it less fearsome.
