I think it has been around a while.
''And it can be purchased OTC

"APT T3X"? Never heard of this one before. We recently restocked our Neosporin (not that we go through it fast, it went out of date on us) so I was eyebrow deep in the ointments section, and I saw nothing remotely like it in CVS.

Not questioning your or the article, just questioning how effective something nobody's heard of or seen is really going to be.

"mix it with budweiser and then a hamburger you are immunized against the virus"

Does it work with soy burg... can't even type those two words together

Does it work with soy sandwiches?

Having concluded that the criteria for issuance of this authorization under 564(c) of the Act are met, I am authorizing the emergency use of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, as described in the Scope of Authorization section of this letter (Section II) and subject to the terms of this authorization.

The Letter

Mighty trump comes to save the day.

Plasma, What do you guys think?

I was thinking more on the lines of preventative.

a reply to: Stormdancer777

Convalescent plasma has been in use as a theraputic for quite a while. This makes it easier to do so for COVID-19

It ain't no "breakthrough."

Given that the clinical evidence supporting this EUA was not obtained from prospective, well-controlled randomized clinical trials (RCTs), additional RCTs are needed. COVID-19 convalescent plasma should not be considered a new standard of care for the treatment of patients with COVID-19.

For every 100 people who died due to covid-19, 35 would still be alive if they had received this plasma treatment.

A doctor is now explaining how she used it in emergency situations very successfully in the early days of the pandemic.

Now that the FDA has approved this treatment, it can be applied relatively easily, without having to cut through a lot of red tape and regulations.

I think a lot of people are going to be like me -- "And you're paying me how much per draw now?"

It's not going to go smoothly. I doubt many will pony up voluntarily with no top-dollar recompense in this current economic climate. I know I wouldn't.

Many doctors now saying "finally !" 🙂

Please post the clinical trials which support this claim.

Not exactly. The requirements for producing the plasma are quite stringent.

Yeah, a pill that prevented the worse symptoms and a resumption of normalcy would have been nice. We should all assume that is not going to happen since the vaccine makers have to sell their vaccine to the world now.

The U.K. has been trialling this for a few months. Not heard any results yet.

The NHS Blood and Transplant service (NHSBT) said its clinical trial unit had this week begun collaborating with the Oxford-led Recovery trial with the aim of getting convalescent plasma into thousands of people in hospital with coronavirus in England

Hath Pestilence Capitulated?

^_^

Lets ask how and why this remedy works.....just so we understand the simple mechanics of everything in terms of why it works so well so quickly---and possibly our considerations will provide leads to other supportive remedial processes that might be sympathetic to the convalescent plasma...........and there are plenty of remedies for this bug.

Looks like the US is ahead of the game here.
Good job.

The theory is that the plasma from people who have recovered from COVID-19 contains antibodies which can supplement those produced by the patient.

The doctor in the press conference said it's tested and they have data to show that the procedure is shown to save 35% of lives of those that will die from Covid (exclusing over 80's with existing respitory illness). Seems to be more than a theory.

Seems like a breakthrough.
Tests in the UK are also underway but the US has done a good job in accelerating the process.

I guess everyone will be pleased with the job the gvot has done here.

Very impressive. Has their study been published?

How did they know who would die and who wouldn't?

The questions are rhetorical, unless you know the answers.

I wonder if they were also using hydroxycloroquine or some other treatment at the same time. That would complicate the "data."
