New Yorker Tiffany Pinckney is paying her good fortune forward as one of the first coronavirus survivors to donate her blood in hopes of saving lives from the deadly disease.

During the first week of March, Pinckney, 39, developed symptoms including a fever and chills. Soon, the single mother couldn’t catch her breath, and deep breathing caused immense chest pain.

“I remember being on my bathroom floor crying and praying,” she told the Associated Press.

Now in recovery, she’s been given the chance to help save lives. Doctors hope that plasma from Pinckney’s blood, which contains the neutralizing antibody that saved her from COVID-19, may be used to treat a patient sick with the virus. Doctors say the treatment could reduce the severity of the illness.

Screw that and all the stupid fear mongering colloidal silver is free and kills all viruses the government is lying to you about it like a rug on the floor How can your government possibly tell you that silver is effective in 29 to 35,000 in medical products ??? and they mandated put in every filter and every HVAC system and every hospital in the United States since 1995 to kill viruses and bacteria and pathogens? ? but it won’t work internally ?? answer me that please If you’d like to make your own colloidal silver you can go to many different retailers who will sell you a generator so you can either plug-in or what not I want to follow Jim’s strict policies are not trying to sell anything I use 3 9V batteries ; pure silver electrodes ; and distilled water 💦- I let the process run for about 15 to 20 minutes It takes 21 V DC to make the colloidal silver reaction work whereas oxygen is given off at one electrode and silver ions are giving off at the other

Another good reason to get the antibody testing widespread as quickly as possible (like many days ago).
