Same thing here, initial test with 1,000 patients. Hopefully it helps

The study is expected to be carried out in every province, and likely each territory. The initial number of people involved is approximately 1,000 patients.

“When people have recovered from COVID-19 infection, we are hoping they will donate a unit of plasma which is essentially the clear portion of blood where all the antibodies are,” said Arnold, an associate professor of medicine and the director of the McMaster Centre for Transfusion Research.


The more places try this the more accurate the results.

Aaaaand... We have a bunch of posts with Trump complaining that Obama didn't initiate travel bans from the infected areas.

As president, Trump initiated travel bans from the infected areas.

Searching for hypocrisy...  None found.  But sure, you guys pretend its there anyway.  Sheesh.

hydroxychloroquine:
Trump: "I just think it’s something — you know the expression, I’ve used it for certain reasons: “What do you have to lose?” What do you have to lose? And a lot of people are saying that when — and are taking it — if you’re a doctor, a nurse, a first responder, a medical person going into hospitals, they say taking it before the fact is good. But what do you have to lose? They say, “Take it.”

I’m not looking at it one way or the other, but we want to get out of this. If it does work, it would be a shame if we didn’t do it early. But we have some very good signs. So that’s hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

And, again, you have to go through your medical people, get the approval. But I’ve seen things that I sort of like. So what do I know? I’m not a doctor. I’m not a doctor. But I have common sense.

What you might lose is your life. The results from the first major study on hydroxychloroquine are out and pretty damning.

"About 28 percent who were given hydroxychloroquine plus usual care died, versus 11 percent of those getting routine care alone. About 22 percent of those getting the drug plus azithromycin died too..."

And it's not just Trump that was pushing this deadly drug.  Fox News between March 23 and April 6 made 275 claims of positive usage and/or promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine and only 29 instances of doubt during the same time frame.

The thrust of Trump's complaint was about the quarantining of healthcare workers returning from overseas who had treated Ebola patients.  Quarantining efforts for people who may have been exposed to the current virus were happening in January and February.

Trump was advising proactive policies to keep Ebola from gaining a foothold in the United States very similar to the policies that he enacted as president.

You and this video are trying to conflate that with the actions of different stages of controlling a disease.  One of surveillance and containment and other other mitigation after a virus that has already gained a foothold in the country.  These are totally separate issues.

In the case of the Ebola scare, perhaps Trump was wrong about that specific sickness.  But it's not out of line with the actions he took as president.

In this case, we have people running around using a national health scare as a means for scoring political points.

I assume there will be some cost versus benefit analysis involved, and this will only be applied to certain severe cases considering the small, but significant risk of graft-versus-host disease that can come with that kind of transfusion.

That being said, the fact that one people can donate their plasma up to three others is an encouraging sign of how strong the immune response to Covid-19 actually is. Perhaps it could last closer to immunity to the original SARS (~ 30 months) than immunity to other coronaviruses (~ 18 months).
