I lost my taste and smell on 22/12/2020. i immediately suspected that i had covid-19 and did not go for a test as my son tested positive 4 days thereafter. i went for antibody screening today and no antibodies were found. what could be the reason?

COVID 19 testing: The serology antibody test shows past COVID 19 infections. You might not have become infected with COVID 19 or possibly, not enough time has passed to pick up the antibodies yet.

Agree with Dr. F: Get Covid-19 vaccine. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
