withholding hydroxychloroquine and Zpack???
for less than $5 (that is a $4.75 profit),
this can be defeated IF GIVEN EARLY.
So slow. Takes 5-12 days just to get a Wuhan China virus test results. My guess is it takes 6 months to get this test results back. This centralization BS has become a bureaucracy joke of giant deadly proportions.
Give me 2 days and I could have a 200 bead hospital running, 3 hour (or less) testing, 3 treatment protocols running, and 100 at Armed guards to keep the FDA, CDC, FEDGOV, WHO away from interfering.
This has become a giant fedgov circle jerk. I am so disappointed in our cowardly country. Seems like lawyers and politicians run everything.
Plasma therapy worked very well in Chinese studies there, but they said the timing was very important in the cycle of the progression, with a short window for administering it.
Before Vaccines, Doctors ‘Borrowed’ Antibodies from Recovered Patients to Save LivesIt's amazing that the history of convalescent plasma goes all the way back to the 1890s. It's equally amazing that the researchers at the time thought to remove the blood cells from blood leaving behind the plasma.The very first Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine was awarded in 1901 to Emil von Behring for his life-saving work developing a cure for diphtheria, a bacterial infection that was particularly fatal in children. His groundbreaking treatment, known as diphtheria antitoxin, worked by injecting sick patients with antibodies taken from animals who had recovered from the disease.
Von Behring’s antitoxin wasn’t a vaccine, but the earliest example of a treatment method called “convalescent plasma” that’s being resurrected as a potential treatment for COVID-19. Convalescent plasma is blood plasma extracted from an animal or human patient who has “convalesced” or recovered from infection with a particular disease.
“Convalescent plasma has been used throughout history when confronting an infectious disease where you have people who recover and there’s no other therapy available,” says Warner Greene, director of the Center for HIV Cure Research at the Gladstone Institutes. “There must be something in their plasma—i.e. an antibody—that helped them recover.”
Convalescent plasma interacts differently with the immune system than a vaccine. When a person is treated with a vaccine, their immune system actively produces its own antibodies that will kill off any future encounters with the target pathogen. That’s called active immunity.
Convalescent plasma offers what’s called “passive immunity.” The body doesn’t create its own antibodies, but instead “borrows” them from another person or animal who has successfully fought off the disease. Unlike a vaccine, the protection doesn’t last a lifetime, but the borrowed antibodies can greatly reduce recovery times and even be the difference-maker between life and death.
“Convalescent plasma is the crudest of the immunotherapies, but it can be effective,” says Greene.
Some have been demanding word from doctors in New York. Here is a report from one from a couple of days ago, when it was much easier.

My 72 year old chain smoking neighbor recovered from the virus..
Yes. You are reading it correctly.
2 weeks ago he was sent home to die because the hospital rant out of respirators. Chest pains were intense and he slept it off...for 5 days. 6th day the fever broke. Went back to the same stupid hospital which left him for dead and tested negative.
Now they are BEGGING him to donate plasma. I kid you not.
OK. But what about just doing the proven outpatient drug therapy - hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, zinc sulfate ?
