Trump to Announce Plasma Treatment Authorized for COVID-19
Breitbart ^ | August 23,2020 | AP

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.

I would LOVE for the personnel rules they adopted over at the VA to be expanded to the entire federal civil service. Make it far, far easier to fire poor performers, saboteurs and obstructionists. We’d save many, many billions of dollars each year and have far greater productivity.

You said it but said it in more detail than I could. I’ve got tunnel vision and all I thought of at the time was the Garden Gnome and Scarfette........heehee

Thank you. I was a little disappointed that the President hasn’t mentioned it in a while, especially today.

I have enrolled patients in that study and used the plasma. I think by the time I have them in critical care its too late — it may be better in Phase 1 or 2 disease.

Perhaps early, same as with HCQ.

My cousin is a potential donor, given that he's had the 'Rona.

even though this says “BREITBART” it’s an AP article.

watch for the misleading opnion statements made to look like truth.

“I have enrolled patients in that study and used the plasma.”
***************************************************
That’s great. Out of curiosity, I have a couple of questions.

With the controlled study, what has been the “lag time” between when you and your patients decide to participate and when the plasma infusion can be done after approval of the individual’s enrollment?

Has the COVID-19 convalescence plasma supply limited participation in the study?

That’s the same problem with HCQ, better if used at onset of infection. But a 35% positive rate is good.

It was a 54 page application to get the institution enrolled, the fasted. could get it was about 8 Hours because the patient has to be corssmatched to blood type. I have always been able to get the product when I wanted it.

I am sick and tired of CoVID, but I think the truth of the matter is we have reached herd immunity and will see significant decrease in the next four weeks across the US. I think this is in the rearview mirror by December 1, and honestly by October 1, however the political situation will not permit that.

I feel proud of having donated plasma (tested positive for antibodies).

I have not had trouble getting it either. Just a study coordinator to go through and an extra consent fir the patient to sign but not hard to get in a timely fashion

You have every right to be proud. Thank you! If you can donate again, that would help someone in the future.

This past week I had the COVID-19 antibody test done this past week but, unfortunately, came up negative.

Plasma worked for a friend of mine but he did develop blood clots. They are treating that now. He was considered 'near death' and family was allowed in.

Thank God, the plasma worked. He had a total turnaround in 24 hours and is expected to return home in a few days.
