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 Trumps 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,,,,youre dead.
I thought it already was?
If it is convalescent plasma — I am not impressed with it. It has not all that great of results in my view
I work in the industry. Plasma treatments are pretty common
Well I hope folks who know what they’re talking about let us know here if it’s good, bad, medium...as far as being helpful
Ha ha! Right off the bat he tweaks the Fake News Media. “I hope you all had good time at your Convention.”
Call the RNC ASAP! They’ll add you as another speaker this week.
LOL
They already called but weren’t offering enough.
I told them I control the votes on the piers but they just laughed and hung up :)
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.
ROFL
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.
And the floor drops and during the process you feel like you care standing against gravity, right?
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.
Oh, really? They are celebrating over there at CNN?/s
Exactly.
This is nothing but government propaganda. There is no treatment for covid-19
