Testing 'positive' means you have been exposed to one of several


coronaviruses. (I mean the nasal swab antigen test.) One causes COVID-19 and the other 4 cause mild to medium cold symptoms. The test can pick up dead pieces of a virus your innate immune system killed in the past when the virus hasn't been totally cleared. The test is not totally accurate or specific which is the problem. Even the serologic antibody blood test showing your adaptive immune system T and B cells had to kick in is only 50-60% accurate.
