Convalescent plasma?
I've read that the immunity it affords is short-term, though it might be helpful as a therapy.
One thing that I find encouraging is we've never had so many scientists/companies etc working on one very specific condition.
Indeed. It's amazing to see this.
FDA approved convalescent plasma today. Honestly I thought it already had emergency approval but cool all the same.
Since Trump was the one who broke the log jam, I'm sure you disapprove.
They've been using convalescent plasma down here for awhile, FDA be damned. Plaquenil cocktail, too. Doesn't always work, but sometimes the plasma therapy can be jaw dropping.
Saw a news report (anti-Trump of course) saying that convalescent plasma hasn't been thoroughly tested yet and it could be "dangerous".
What about regular plasma given to people all the time. Is that somehow dangerous? It's just plasma for crying out loud. Like Hydroxychloriquine used safely for years under the care of a physician. Now suddenly it is a dangerous, unpredictable drug.
