I know donating blood in itself is a great thing for those who need it, but if I have COVID antibodies will donating blood be able to transfer any of those antibodies?

Currently suffering this WuFlu joke.... couple cold sweats at night and a fever from time to time and that’s about it

Sure it is. And fruit has it. And goats have it. And everyone has it. You are easily led, sheep.

Like arguing with a flat earther.

Do you even know how a PCR test works? Do you know what is being tested? The purity of those fruit and goat samples? The microorganisms that might've been included in the samples? The genome of the fruit, goats, bacteria that have the sequences that are similar enough for the primers used to detect the covid RNA, and lead to a false positive result?

Imagine you have a basket with balls in it. Most are red, and some are blue, and you need to count the blue ones. You can easily examine each, tell the colors apart, and count how many (if any) blue balls you have in said basket.

Now if you are looking for something blue, but can't know the shape of the objects. You assume it's all balls but there are no guarantees that there aren't other shapes inside. You'll end up with blue cubes and cylinders, and pyramids. Not just balls. Because you weren't expecting to have samples which are not balls. Do you understand now?
