“There are no vaccines just yet. There are no other therapies. Convalescent plasma and these anti-COVID antibodies are, at the moment, one of the only ways someone who is fighting off a COVID-19 infection can potentially get some respite,” Boyle said. “We tend to look at it as a ‘rising tides lift all boats’ situation where people who are donating for the purposes of convalescent plasma because they’ve had COVID, hey, that’s great. All of a sudden, they’re introduced to this plasma donation center.”

For adults who have recovered from coronavirus, the Red Cross has resources available to donate plasma. Go to redcrossblood.org or call (800) RED-CROSS.

[I haven't the faintest, but we should look at it.]
