Ah yes you are right.
So I'm probably better to say it was -likely- not Covid?
As it seems most people do get antibodies for a good while after, but you are also correct, not everyone.
Was just a weird one partner had fever I didn't. Both of us had mild headaches 2 days, weird guts 2 days, improved over weekend, then got into brain-dead / tiredness phase for another week.
But no lung issues or bad cough. A creative virus whatever it was... needs a troll icon.

That's not quite right - what the antibody test has told you is that you don't have antibodies right now.
You may have had them previously and no longer have them at detectable levels, or you may be one of the people for whom antibody response and T-cell response is not in sync. Basically an antibody test only tells you so much. It can definitively tell you that you've had Covid. It cannot definitively tell you that you've not had Covid.
