I failed to mention, one of my closest friends dad tested positive about a month ago and is getting plasma treatment, he lives in India. Believe India started plasma treatments early on.

I spoke with my sister last night. She said it's a beating. She understands the struggles her patients have been going through with covid-19. As of yesterday, she was on day 10.

She told me it's a struggle to drink liquids, which is important. One of the biggest issues with this is pneumonia. Once this gets in the lungs it gets much more challenging to treat.

Remdesivir seems to be working with patients, you'll need to sign waivers/releases to use this. This is reducing the amount of time spent intubated. The medicine itself sounds interesting, not necessarily in a good way.

FDA has also approved plasma treatment as well, though not sure if it's been officially approved or just emergency use only.

I haven't received my blood work from my blood donation. Curious to know if I have antibodies.
