At last! An ELISA antibody test for #COVID19 ! Created by a multinational team, measures presence of antibodies against #SARnCoV2 virus. Key point: PCR tests only go + if you have virus in you at test-time. Antibody test tells if you were EVER infected. doi.org/10.1101/2020.0…

This pandemic has already revealed that: - schools are so much more than just schools. - many people now realize how tough it is to be a teacher and that teachers are grossly underpaid. - teachers are irreplaceable and essential to learning and education. #homeschooling
