The plasma thing was something I thought might work very early on in this. Basically, give your antibodies to others via blood. I was told that was science fiction and couldn't possibly work. So to hear this now, makes me feel good tbh..

I wonder why it’s never mentioned by the government.. the advert bleating says the plasma is needed to combat Covid19

It used to be mentioned in the early days, think Matty Hanny has had his sleeve up for it

I'm pretty confident that we will have a great summer.
The vaccine will help to get some kind of normality back.

Is it an antibody thing? So preventative? Feel a bit dog with a bone now off being told I am talking in science fiction months back when theorizing if this would help, if it turns out thats actually whats going on...

Or is it, like it depletes plasma when attacking body so its a replace plasma for treatment thing?

I assume the focus seems to be on men giving plasma,. as women who have been pregnant, if they give blood and it goes to a man, it can be dangerous as ****? Or maybe, women give blood more, so they need men, or something..

Internet tells me ****e (searched plasma covid and was taken to a 'covid is a hoax' place for ****s sake). I prefer you as you seem well versed in it all!

I swear theres a virus on my laptop? Because I don seem to get the 'most hits' response anymore when searching, and instead get random crap half the time?! Malwarebytes says I am clear though..odd.

There were some trials using plasma at the early stages last year, but it reportedly had mixed results.

However, the concept has been refined, and there are drugs now available such as regeneron in the USA and there are equivalents now being made and trialed here. They are refined anti body cocktails basically, so the same principle as plasma, but with highly concentrated anti bodies that can fight covid. However, (and i think this is why plasma has limited use) The anti body treatment has to be given right at the start when covid symptoms have just developed. In those circumstances, it gives the body a boost to fight covid off before it can do so much damage. It is much less effective once covid has taken hold properly.

regeneron

Wasnt that what people laughed at trump for using (with no medical proof, iirc)?!

Am sure I remember it from that..

My theory, as a non scientist, was, if you give people plasma with antibodies, before they even get covid, would that not be effectively a vaccine? I know t-cell response is whats important really, not antibodies, BUT, if the antibodies were introduced in someone who hasnt fought off covid, would their t cells maybe..respond and learn to recognise covid in the future? That was the exact thing I was told was science fiction.

The antibody thing fascinated me so much I got 2 antibody tests privately you know. The news was adamant, that antibodies only last 3 months. I got one 5 months after covid (first was 2 months or so after covid..positive), and apparently still had them. Either mine last longer than most, I got covid again and didnt know, or the superdrug tests are off. Was my conclusions from that! 160 quid down, felt silly being 'curious' when harder times hit like!
