Not sure mate, was in yesterday, oxygen levels remain the same so definitely in todsy and likely tomorrow but not sure.

Ok, fingers crossed mate. You’re in good hands so I’m sure they’ll sort it.

Many thanks BP and it is more assuring. I would have preferred a study by a university or AZ or Pfizer and not a government organisation though as we are the only country in the world, to my knowledge, who are going down this road. I just hope that you and they are correct.

Had a NHS message to donate plasma.
I know a few on here have done so but what’s the process involve?

Does plasma still offer antibodies protection or s it still being debated?

They've stopped the universal trial for anyone who had the virus. They are, however, continuing for those who have strong antibody reaction.

Looks like it is still going ahead

Plasma programme

We have now completed two major trials for convalescent plasma for people in hospital with coronavirus and no longer need convalescent plasma donors to come forward to donate.

Once a month I donate Platelets and Plasma and it usually takes about 50 - 55 mins for my donation.
