why did my brother tests negative for covid but got a letter saying bc he had covid he could donate palsma from health dept?

my brother tested negative for covid19 a cuple mons ago after a coworker got hospitalised w a confirmed case. well just a few days ago he gets a letter from the health dept saying he survived covid and bc he is recovered he can donate plasma. my brother was very confused considering the test was negative. also my mom, me, my daughter, his gf and her 2 young kids have all been around hima lot and none of us even had a sneeze.

to me this proves theres a lot of fallacies w the testing and statistics, and also that asymptomatic ppl are not contagious.

thoughts? 

Update:

sorry for typos, *tested, *plasma

    You can test for covid and it can be negative.  Then you can get covid and not be tested.    Or perhaps the test for covid was negative because it was too early.   The best way to determine if he can donate is to do a titer for antibodies in the blood.   That will show if he was exposed to it or not.

    There are lots of issues with the testing itself, then the recording and processing of said info. In reality though all that does is mess with the directions we should be going in. The virus is very real and very deadly to some.

    There are some things which are very odd all around this 'pandemic' stuff. Things do not add up in a lot of cases. It just doesn't seem right. There are good reasons to be sceptical; IMHO; whether that's the stats or anything else about the event itself and responses / reactions and statements from authorities

    Try this for starters:

    We are certainly not being told the whole story; neither a story which is 100% factual
