Can you build antibodies and can they test for it after infection? Just wondering because, if you remember the story I told about the lady with Covid driving by every day to see me waving because I was her only human interaction, she said that she didn't need to wear a mask because she had already been infected so she thought she wouldn't be able to infect me. If she could still transmit it, she was putting me at risk.

Yes.
It takes your body about 6-8 weeks to build up enough Ig G antibodies for the test to detect.
It is important to remember we’re still learning about this virus and don’t always have all the answers due to a lack of data. So err on the side of caution, Brad.
