A much faster option is the Antibody Test it involves taking a sample of your blood it only takes a few minutes and theres no lab required but this test doesnt actually detect the virus per se instead it checks whether the bodys immune system has produced antibodies in response to it but that immune reaction only takes place around 7 days after infection so if youre just in.

Reducing contact with others by 75 percent the total would be just 2 and a half infection. But what effect does isolation have on the mind and body. Lets find out by heading to a research station in one of the worlds loneliest places the at. A time out for the expedition members at germanys neumeier research station in antarctica this is the 1st.
