Raw LLM Responses

The body already starts to produce antibodies when you still have the disease. The article is incredibly low on detail as to how early this test will give accurate results, but even if it's only usable on someone who is already far along in the disease (say, on path to recovery for mild cases), it will still be very useful to have a fast method to detect (former) cases. Tracking infection rates across the population will help study how this thing managed to spread and will help determine what the true mortality rate is. For example, if it turns out that there are many cases with very mild or even no symptoms, then that means that the disease is less deadly than it appeared, but also harder to contain.
