The test won't tell you that.
And there's nothing I've seen to suggest a developed immunity from exposure.
Good luck.

Almost every disease known to man produces some sort of immunity after infection. It would be highly unusual if this one didn’t. The media is misinterpreting scientists saying “There’s no evidence of immunity” (meaning they can’t prove it) as meaning there’s a significant possibility that there’s no immunity. Chances are extremely high that infection creates immunity, although maybe not for a really long time.

Smite me, soy boys.

Is this an agriculturally based epithet, or for people who don't drink Real Man Milk?

I don’t really know the origin but the picture I have in my mind is of effeminate modern males who have low testosterone and elevated estrogens due to diet and/or environment. The soy specific reference perhaps referring to the much studied soybean isoflavones. But I could be wrong.

Ironically, hops have high estrogen content, so drinking White Claw might result in lower estrogen levels than slamming Bud Lights (assuming Bud Light has hops, that is).

True.
I'm not sure I've seen anything to dispute the possibility of immunity tho. Until It's shown, it's just too soon to know.
I think the term "cytokine storm" began being used to describe coronavirus responses about the same time kids were presenting with a variant of Kawasaki disease. So, early May ?
I heard cytokine storm and told my wife, give them steroids. Disclaimer, each case needs to be examined medically for pros and cons and suitability.
There's plenty we don't know about the virus.

Steroids are complicated, because they reduce inflammation (good) but they weaken the immune system (normally bad), but for some patients whose immune systems are overreacting, maybe weakening their immune systems is a good thing. Starting to look like steroids help, but I would think it should be done on a patient-by-patient basis depending on symptoms.

Cytokine storm would indicate a systemic inflammatory response, and that's the description of some covid patients that I remember hearing.
A 6 mg daily dose of dexamethasone is a relatively low to moderate dose. But yes, you can't pick any up at the hardware store. It takes physicians to weigh benefit vs risk in prescribing.
There apparently is a Minneapolis hospital that has been using it for a while.

I’m gonna go out on what I feel is a pretty sturdy limb and say that the human immune response will be similar to other viral infections and that reinfections will be relatively rare if not statistically insignificant. Of course it’s prudent to be cautious and such but it’s pretty clear the verdict is in and we aren’t exactly dealing with the doomsday virus or Captain Trips here. The way that this has become an identity politics issue is pretty unsettling.
