    I have had a look online for antibody test but can’t see any available to buy 🤔

    I just googled Covid Antibody Test Cornwall, and there were loads of answers. This is one in Ramsay Duchy hospital in Truro:
    https://medichecks.com/pages/coronavirus-antibody-blood-test-information

    I asked about cost, and they said:
    Coronavirus antibody test is £69 and requires a venous blood sample. You can either have your sample taken at one of our partner clinics for an additional £30 or have a nurse home visit for £55

    So, I think that's £99 if you go round to them. 


    There were some DIY kits you could use at home, with a tiny finger stabber, but these were withdrawn due to lack of testing!! 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    In a way that may be a good thing as there are stories I have seen doing the rounds of fake / scam antibody tests being sold.  It is all such a mine-field that we are in.

    is there any way for you to find out what others are charging.  You need to be fair to yourself but equally don't want to get hammered by someone else who undercuts

    An answer isn't spam just because you don't like it......

    Maybe more of an issue in terms of pricing is what the going rate becomes - if others can do it cheaper then do you want to be raising prices in the short-term and risk losing clients. I'd expect it be be a competitive marketplace with little loyalty at times of financial need

    I happened to visit my local pharmacy just now and noticed they had a sign in the window offering coronavirus antibodies test.  That may be worth looking into whether your local pharmacy does the same thing.

    I trust the local pharmacy more than an internet search.

    Bear in mind that the latest figures were that 1 person in 400 currently has Covid in this country. 
    That figure was over a month ago.

    Good point. Do you think it's higher or lower now?

    Is there a local launderette to do the mattress covers?  Ask for another set so you ahve a clean set to put on - then a week to get the others laundered.
