jackets and sweatshirts are comfortable

you won't need mittens and parkas
Yeah, average high for that week in Austin in November is 67-70 for us, so it's typically okay.  Last year was a little cooler as I recall, year before that we might have hit 80 which is not uncommon.

Today is my last day of isolation. Never any symptoms following my + test. My wife, who is 7-years younger than me, told me the spouse of one of her high school classmates died from COVID-19. She thinks that woman's spouse was older than her, but you don't get many trophy wife hunters more successful than me, so I am thinking he couldn't have been that much older.
I just want to say . . . I am damn lucky. On top of this death my wife reported, I had two clients in the past 10-days whose spouses died from it.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

No. I am returning to work. I am going to www.quill.com for my sole practitioner law office, and printing a no facemask no entry sign - this office supply company has free downloads. I paid the secretary half time to not come in. It has been an economic loser for me the past 2-weeks. I was lucky I didn't spread it to anyone who I had close contact with, including my wife. I do not want to go through this calamity again.

Yeah, it's sad and disheartening, I know quite a few folks that live over there and I feel for them.  They really did think they were past the worst of it.

Here's hoping we don't get a another wave as bad as their second wave, but honestly I'm starting to believe we will.

What's the point of the antibody test when he already had a positive PCR?

Apparently no one knows the false positive rates on these tests?

Its just that its something I would want to know and maybe scientists might also want to know it

the reverse is if you dont have antibodies then theres a good chance it was a false positive and again I would want to know that

so I didnt get a false feeling of security

#1, to make sure his test was truly positive.

#2, to see what levels he has in his body.

I guess I should not be surprised at the % positive increase in FL.

The state-run sites are now only testing people with symptoms. You can still go to a private testing site, but most people don't go if they don't have symptoms.
