WASHINGTON (AP) — After expressing frustration at the slow pace of approval for coronavirus treatments, President Donald Trump was set to announce on Sunday the emergency authorization of convalescent plasma for COVID-19 patients.

The announcement will come after days of White House officials suggesting there were politically motivated delays by the Food and Drug Administration in approving a vaccine and therapeutics for the disease that has upended Trump’s reelection chances.

On the eve of the Republican National Convention, Trump was set to issue the emergency order — which would make it easier for some patients to obtain the treatment — in a news conference Sunday evening, according to White House officials.

The same people who are now shouting “it won’t work”, were once shouting “I had the Covid and I will donate my blood”.
Silly leftists.

Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.

If it is convalescent plasma — I am not impressed with it. It has not all that great of results in my view

It is convalescent plasma. Unless there are some new studies hereto forth unknown, I would say that you’re pretty much on top of it.

What about HCQ? Where does that stand. I know that several states are Ok with it, at some level.

The 35% mortality reduction with early treatment sounds far less than the reported, must cheaper and more widely available, HCQ and steroid solutions!

Looks like there’s a 35% benefit if you get it within 3 days of diagnosis, are under 80 and some other criteria.

Me too. I thought I heard they were asking for volunteers of recovered patients to give plasma a couple of months ago or longer. Anyways, I know they are in Peru. I heard the President of Peru encouraging those recovered from covid to give their plasma.

This is nothing but government propaganda. There is no treatment for covid-19
