I predict that we're somewhere between a fortnight and two months away from
plentiful, cheap antibody (IgM / IgG) tests with quick results and high 
sensitivity and specificity.  There are a number of antibody tests that
are now hitting the market under the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization,
but the only one that's cleared FDA approval is Cellex's,   Give it a
couple of weeks to see which is best and quickest.  In the shorter term, 
there'll probably be a lot of salesmanship and doubtful products.
