Convalescent Plasma Appears Safe As COVID-19 Treatment, Study Shows | NBC Nightly News
i hope all of you are okay stay safe
You do the same and your family stay safe.
🙏
Im not member of Jehova Witness but i know some people from work! They explain me basic about their religion! I agrre with them about blood transfusion😵, that is unacceptable!
It’s plasma, not blood
@Anessia MARTIN it is not saliva from mouth it is ” water” from nose..
It’s probably time to move on
the cure for the coronavirus is to not care
Jean Talon you should care. Honestly if you care about any loved one who my be compromised immune system . A grand parent, people with sever asthma, everyone is different, pay attention to scientists and Doctors on this not a Clown Orange, you call President. Thank you
@Beyond Confusion do you boo boo
@Beyond Confusion He is the ONLY one I pay attention to. Who wants you locked up?
Im really happy that, most doctors and scientists in America are fighting hard to destroyed this coronavirus—— TRUMP–did not get it
does trump get anything,how many times has he gone bankrupt
Oh yes he does ……. and we have not heard from ALL of the doctors and scientists in America YET!! That will be a great day!
Trump is optimist unfortunately the leftist liberals are viciously criticizing him
Trump needs to start wearing a 😷 !
He’s far too stubborn to do it because he’s is concerned with his imgage.
David Ellis nope! He needs to get it the hoax.
No he does not need to wear a mask.
Nah!
You need to stop breathing
Those are welcome news, outstanding people! <3
This might be a good thing, but let doctors figure it out and announce it out so we can be sure. Stop peddling anecdotal evidence as mirical cures. You are just as bad as trump tlling us to treat ourselves with chloroquine… 😕
Thank you. This whole “miracle” report has only concluded that it’s not harmful to transfuse plasma from people who have recovered. It says nothing about proving that it actually helps the disease, only that it’s safe to do and thus won’t make you worse. They said they’re still looking into whether it’s actually effective, and until they know that part, you might as well be saying that drinking water won’t make your infection worse. That’s true of course, but not really the thing we were mainly wanting to know.
I wonder how long its gone take Trump to take credit for this treatment even though he never knew about it
If Trump doesn’t recommend it no way will I be taking it!
He knows
I think this is…. laying the groundwork for hr 6(x4). next we will hear, if only we knew where all the covid survivors were… ohh we need tracking to locate donors…
blah.
Some good news
I’m happy to hear progress is being made in USA, i just hate that i have to listen to Trump try and explain these things in the news.
Blame China. I think the world should go to war with China. When China is destroyed the following should happen. Hong Kong will be under UK control, USA should take Shenzhen, Russia can have manchuria, Tibet and Xinjiang gets independence, inner Mongolia reunite with Mongolia, Germany should take back Qingdao, Japan can have Shanghai, Taiwan should take the rest of Han China, Korea can have the area border by north Korea. This time no 99 year lease. Take it forever
Moment I saw Fauci in the media I thought ‘vampire’. And now we’re there, everyone trapped at home, in bed, lethargic, barely able to keep their eyes open after 12 hours of social media,…then Nosferatu Fauci comes creeping up the stairs for plasma. Used to work next to a blood bank, window on the quad between the blood bank and a big high school, and every lunchtime the kids would move like sheep to be sheared towards the blood bank, then the drug dealer cars would appear in the HS parking lot. Think how many teenagers died from that one drug-blood bank-HS operation. And there are 24,000 other high schools like that.
LMAO! but… you aren’t totally wrong…
STAY HOME Is Faucigate’s recommendation. Yeah rite great scientist. Not on your life or more importantly MINE!!
Health authorities here the philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 are doing that convalence plasma theraphy a month a go…here in the philippines..still on going…. on patient with mild to moderate covid19 conditions already…
Please figure this out drs. Thank you.
THE clear rubber mask for best protection against Covid. The mask that we needed but didn’t have. The mask being created specifically for this pandemic is actively being developed. Your funding is helpful towards it.

S Korea already got this treatment and cured 4 people weeks ago, but I haven’t heard how it is progressed since then.
I don’t think they have enough Covid critical to compile effective data.
?
This has been done in China sincerely February and cannot believe they started doing it now
Well that puts and end to that then.
She isn’t the first person here. They started about six weeks ago and it was on the news than as well
BUT HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE CAN PROTECT YOUR HOUSE FROM BURGLARS AND STAYS CRUNCHY FOR WEEKS
It sure stopped a lot of cases becoming severe in Australia. Look at their death toll! But they arn’t Trump haters so they actually tried it!! Seems the Republican states must have too. They are surely getting on with things and re opening.
Tired of these false fake promises of cures, vaccines and treatments. If it’s a guarantee then it’s not news worthy.
It works almost at 100%. By the way it’s not an experimental cure. It was already in use against Spanish Flu in 1918
me too, we are still on lockdown despite all these promising cures…
A bottle of SCOTCH and an ounce of crack is more encourageing!
Haha 😂
That was a remarkable recovery. I know she was elated. Covid19 is very scary. .. you undeniably & immediately know when you are better or worse. Good job auntie.
Just watched a video about how doctors in New York are purposely killing African American and Mexican patients and was wondering if they have covered this story yet or at least are they going to
This looks cool but I don’t trust this news station, so….
I’m not going to believe a doctor; I’m going to believe Donald and inject some disinfectant and shove a lightbulb up my keister.
There’s more good data on hydroxycloriquin/Zpack then this …..
Gotta smother the data on hydroxy because it works lol
Da technology has come to rise.
Good news but too bad your President , Republican party and at least 43% of the American people dont believe in science.
The medical term for urine is ‘plasma ultra filtrate’ (watery plasma, 95% water) but millions of people practice a therapy that can utilize it in several ways to help recover or heal just about anything internally, but especially externally for cuts, burns, blisters, scars, and overall skin health (a lot of super models have been known to splash pee on their face daily to keep the skin tighter and healthier looking). As far as healing goes there’s absolutely no money to be made in this and is why no one’s ever told you about it before, plus you likely wouldn’t have taken it seriously anyways so it’s an easy secret to keep because people don’t want to even think about drinking their own perfect water.
R. Kelly has known about this for years bro!
Great now here comes the 4th strain aidus corunas
I nicknamed Coronavirusanus2020. 👴🏾I kinda wanna defeats it,.. The planet 🌍 is getting heavy. We might drift out of our planetary orbit system towards the sun or to the cosmos. 👴🏾I love you.
The only question is how much money can be made from this? That will determine if Fauci will give it any light.
Sign this petition and inform others!
Petition Title: Oppose HR 6666 the TRES Act
Please Act Immediately
HR 6666 The TRES Act was just proposed in Congress. This Act will allow government officials to enter ANYONE’S HOME and force Test them for COVID-19/ and or antibodies. Then the government officials would have the right to remove children from the home/ remove anyone testing positive from the home, etc. I can’t imagine how removing someone from their home is going to protect anyone. I have a husband with Alzheimer’s Disease. I don’t have Covid19 but if I tested positive who would take care of my husband if I were removed from my home? We must be living in NAZI Germany for such an Act like this to be brought forth in Congress. Please STOP this ASAP.
This should be dominating headlines. Not dr bright testimony or political dramas.
Dr. Fraudci is not convince, he needs more trial… By the way use Remdesivir instead…
Thank you
Why isn’t the CDC or President or
Dr. Fauci or someone announcing this, instead of some random person on a news cast.
If they have found a Miracle
Actually, I definitely wouldn’t believe it if it came from any of the above.
pls no more fake new guys…
The COVID-FEARDEMIC is much worse than the PANDEMIC
trump is doing a bad way to find vaccines
Experimental therapy that was used in 1918 during Spanish Flu!
