That’s just strange

Then we will have to wait until more people become immune to it. It is not plasma from sick patients. It from people who are healthy, have already fought off the virus and are immune to it. They have the right anti-bodies already developed to fight it off. They take those anti bodies and put them into sick patients.

They have one for ebola. There is a lot more effort being placed on a COVID vaccine now.

UMass Memorial Medical Center says its seeing encouraging results after performing its first plasma transfusion for a severely ill COVID-19 patient at the Worcester hospital.

“After hours of transfusion, the patient has dramatically improved overall and is now starting to wean off of the ventilator after having required near maximal settings to oxygenate him prior to the plasma transfusion,” the hospital said in a statement Tuesday.

The procedure comes after the medical center put out a call to residents in central Massachusetts last week, asking those who have recently recovered after testing positive for coronavirus to consider signing up to potentially become a convalescent plasma donor.

“People who have fully recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies in their plasma that can attack the virus,” the plasma donor registry webpage says. “This convalescent plasma is being evaluated as treatment for patients with serious or immediately life-threatening COVID-19 infections, or those judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease.”

The hospital is also asking health care providers who have COVID-19 patients in recovery who may be able to donate plasma to contact the program.

The treatment was discovered from my state might I add! 😃In my backyard in fact.

Should we be optimistic about the development of a COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes, I think so. On the one hand, a vaccine has never been developed against a coronavirus — including SARS, MERS, or coronaviruses causing the common cold. At the same time, never in the history of medicine has such an intense global effort been focused on the development of a specific vaccine. Vaccine development is often described as an empirical science: different approaches are tried, many fail, but one or two prove to be successful. There are now more than 150 different candidate COVID-19 vaccines in different stages of development, which gives me hope that one or more of these will help us get rid of this virus.

Oh my God, I was hoping it'd be a fake news, but from the look of it, its real 😲

Get well soon, Ash.

There's no cause for alarm. It's just a rich people's fever. Millions of people got the virus and recovered at their homes. They are getting admitted to hospitals, because they can afford to. I'm sure their ward at the hospital must also look like some 7-star presidential suite.
