I just saw a WhatsApp request from MountSinai for plasma donors, so I guess it’s ready to go.

How much capacity for plasma/antibodies testing and how much of a game changer is this? Has this been used successfully at any scale in another country, and effective was it?

turning plasma into IVIG is not a fast process. The likely results are very good but it wont be quick once the current supply runs out.

That is a warehouse fitted with beds, not a full hospital.

What’s IVIG?  And what does “it wont be quick” mean?

If people who had mild/asymptotic infections have the same antibodies, we need to be testing such people as well?

Why are building hospitals when they are claiming very few cases?

https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/05/how-blood-plasma-from-recovered-patients-could-help-treat-coronavirus/

IVIG is the combined plasma treatment. In general it takes about 7 months to make in a regular situation although supposedly there are ways to speed it up. And it is def better to use IVIG that would come from recovered patients if they could figure out exactly how to target it vs standard IVIG but that will take even longer.

not a DR or Scientist just an investor in a different company in this space from before COVID even showed up so my understanding/explanation may not be perfect.

I am starting to think that there might be way more than one strain to this virus. Which is scary because if that is true than even if you get immune to this virus once you had it you may only be immune to one strain.   I've seen theories online but my own theory which may or may not make sense is, how come some people get it for just 2 days and lose sense of smell taste etc, while other don't lose taste at all? How come some people, even young like my friend of 32 years with no underlying health condition is in Hospital in critical condition? Is it possible he caught that other strain which is much more deadly while not so common?
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

E/t is possible and on the table...it will take time for all the theories to emerge and be proven
