Four Negatives

I donated blood back in September, and about a week later, I received an email saying that I tested negative for COVID-19 antibodies. That’s nice, although it might possibly be better to test positive: then I could be pretty confident that I was immune, and had had an infection too mild to notice.

Afterward, I received the same email three more times. I don’t know why; perhaps they split up my pint of blood, and whenever they gave Patient A some red blood cells or Patient B some plasma, they tested for COVID-19 antibodies, and sent me an automated email. At least they’re being thorough.
