Easy way to find out if you might be contagious

Just order an IgG antibody test. If you're positive, either due to prior infection or to immunization, you're almost certainly not contagious:

"To what extent can simple antibody testing assist in addressing the first and second points above? Given that there is no overlap in time between the end of viral infectiousness and the earliest formation of IgG antibody, if specific antiviral IgG is detectable, that person is extremely unlikely to be infectious. As IgG antibodies are then detectable for weeks or months, non-infectiousness can be assured for at least as long as these antibodies are detectable, and probably a lot longer because of residual T cell memory."

I was getting antibody-tested periodically, then this scolding. Often many sides to a question. Still, though, I’d be inclined to sero-sort a hire, even offer to pay the fee for IgG-inclusive assay because it is uninsured where I live.

Another example provided by SirBillyBob that should be read by all.
