Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Douglas S. Harrington discuss the following:

1. What is GUARDaHEART Foundation’s goal in partnering with the community to provide the SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test?
2. What is the difference between a COVID-19 swab test vs and COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 antibody test?
3. Who should take the antibody test and what are the benefits of having the test?
4. What is the difference between IgG and IgM antibodies and how long does it take to develop antibodies?
5. How long do the antibodies stay in my body?
6. If my antibody report results positive, am I immune to COVID-19?
7. What happens if someone tests positive for the COVID-19 Antibodies? Should they be quarantined?
8. Is it true that the Latin Community and African American Community have the highest rates of COVID? If so, why is that?
9. What is the correlation of heart disease and coronavirus?
10. Tell us about the SARS-CoV-2 serology antibody test being provided with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 99.6% based on initial performance evaluations. Is this more reliable than other tests being provided?
11. Are there natural medicines that aim to help to reduce an individual from getting the virus?
