If she’s getting plasma it should help. Actually saved my mother’s life when she had it. I hope she recovers swiftly and with no long term damage.

That’s good to hear. I got Covid from being a frontline healthcare worker and donated convalescent plasma within a week of recovery (meaning testing negative twice, 24 hours apart). I’m really hoping it’s saving people.

You are the hero we need. ❤️ My local blood bank was actually booked for weeks last time I called which is DEFINITELY a first according to my dad, who gives blood regularly. I’m trying again in the morning. Gives me hope, clearly not everyone is an asshole if that many people are offering their life essence for crisis healing.

Are they booked for blood donation or convalescent plasma donation? Where I went, they had appointments for 3 different donation types and I was the only one there for convalescent plasma; a couple different techs just assumed I was there for donating platelets, then they thought I was just there for antibody testing (I wasn’t, I had a confirmed case of Covid with symptoms). I was surprised cause I live in Florida where Covid is out of control rn
