I came to work again today, mainly to participate in a COVID-19 antibody testing study. Our workplace is partnering with some Harvard-affiliated group to test a bunch of employees to see the prevalence of COVID-19 at the workplace. The email came out last Friday while I was in the office but I signed up too late and all the time slots were filled so I came in today.
Since the antibody test requires a blood sample, there was a conference room set up with several blood drawing stations. The guy that took my sample was a med student from Mt. Sinai in New York. Since I had a fistula in my right arm, I told him that he could only draw from the left arm. It took him two tries to try and hit a vein. We’re supposed to get results back in a week.
