Antibody test data will give an key insight on the spread of the virus and various factors affecting the collective immunity. It is not possible with RT-PCR.
By turning a blind eye to the snakes in his own backyard, Trudeau is setting the stage for a disaster of epic proportions for his country, his people, and the world at large.

Using this technology, IDF carried out fully robotic combat missions, drastically reducing risk to Israeli troops. The robotic combat task force also enhanced situational awareness.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Hi, I’m a biotechnology student in my final year. So the assay being done is RT-qPCR, which is actually the quantitative version of PCR you’ve mentioned in this article. An RT-PCR won’t give a quantitative result, a qPCR would. Since reverse transcription is required, as correctly stated here, the assay is RT-qPCR. The quantity is not required, but a qPCR is real time, so results can be obtained quickly.
The confusion is ‘RT’ also stands for ‘Real time’, this is another name for qPCR.
I think there’s been a slight mistake in this article
