As mentioned earlier, in terms of the muddiness of the reporting, it would also seem to only make intuitive sense that any antibody tests and their results are parsed out of the reported new daily tests and cases. Track them separately but leave them out of new daily tests and cases given the fact they may have had it a couple of months ago is irrelevant to the daily count.

That's why I also mentioned hospitalizations.
