No, that's survivors giving blood 28 days after discharge and the plasma being injected into new admissions.Is that the antibody test? How is it going and how is your daughter going?
Some idiot academic tried to defend the not wearing masks recommendation the other dayAre you touching your face when you do this? I'd imagine not. You're adjusting the fit. That's a good thing you're making sure it fits around the bridge of the nose. Like anything else that seems unusual to the body, you will get used to it. You're doing the right thing.
Stay safe
The magic bullet. Not just in the lab.Here's some background into Remdisivir. I am sure BlueAnorak knows about this drug.

You got a link bud?Sorry to post again but please check Remdisivir and US clinical trial results. Very significant but I caution it's breaking news and not yet fully confirmed. European markets are showing very big gains (FTSE poised to open up by 200 points at the moment) so the world is taking it seriously.
Potentially we could be waking up to news that there is another Tamiflu/Relenza out there.
Ah it was you. I mentioned yesterday that Qatar is also using plasma to treat patients now.No, that's survivors giving blood 28 days after discharge and the plasma being injected into new admissions.
She has great hope for it; however, it probably wont help those who are already seriously ill as it's a cytokine storm that is killing most COVID-19 patients. This is when the bodies immune system goes crazy and starts attacking the bodies own major organs.

In our town on the times I have been out it is unusual to see people without a facemask.Like SARS, Coronavirus is airborne as well as on surfaces.
Masks give you 70% protection if you take them off properly and dispose/wash them properly. But that's not the point.
If you're on public transport they stop you passing it on to every one else in the bus/carriage if you talk or cough. You simply can't be 2m apart in these circumstances.
The same probably applies when you go shopping.
Good info mate. Honestly if everyone wore a mask when out and about, then it would be pretty difficult for anyone to get infected at all. Infection rates would drop to trivial levels pretty much immediately.In our town on the times I have been out it is unusual to see people without a facemask.
Yesterday I went to collect a parcel from the petrol station near us with locals standing the guessed 2 meters apart when a car with 2 lads getting fuel entered , no masks and seemingly not understanding our caution.
So yes it is true we have idiots in Spain but the town of 30k population has not had a single case of CV via local transmission. Our hospital serves the larger area and has had 15 cases of which 4 it admitted but all are now out and all were from towns over 20 k away.
Cannot talk about the rest of Spain but police try to protect us from outsiders and generally mask wearing is working here in rural SE Spain as part of our self protection.
It's not a vaccine its an anti-viral agent.All the top scie tist advisong government are saying nothing will be available or ready for 12-18 months.
Companies reseaching this keep leaking they could have something ready by summer.
Several coronaviruses out there and knkw about for years we still haven't got vacines for and the one we do took years to perfect to be usable.
They leak and see a bounce on their shares and the economy, I would take any hope of an early breakthrough as more being used for the ecomical boost it gives than anything.
Its putting the mask back on that's the problem.Some idiot academic tried to defend the not wearing masks recommendation the other day
He said that if you were a mask then the surface of it could get contaminated and then when you take it off you could get infected. He managed to say it without bursting into a fit of giggles as well.
The fucking obvious gaping hole in that ludicrous defence is that were you not wearing the mask then it would be your face that got contaminated, not the mask. Hardly an "improvement"!
