Coronavirus

Ahh, Lichess.org, the perfect place to debate coronavirus

I successfully challenge false information put forward as established fact and am accused of nitpicking..lolol

That's what we are up against,folks...

"For 10 patients severely ill with the new coronavirus, a single dose of antibodies drawn from the blood of people who had recovered from COVID-19 appeared to save lives, shorten the duration of symptoms, improve oxygen levels and speed up viral clearance, newly published research reports."

This seems like a good idea to me.

Here's an extract from another article

A coronavirus treatment already approved in the UK and US which uses blood from recovered patients can help the infected get better within three days, a study has found.
Ten COVID-19 patients in China who were severely ill in hospital saw their symptoms disappear or rapidly improve within 72 hours after the therapy.
They were given a dose of plasma donated from COVID-19 survivors, which had the antibodies necessary for their immune system to clear the virus.
Known as convalescent plasma therapy, it has recently been given the green light by medical regulators in the UK and US to trial on critically ill patients.
The promising therapy, which was first used a century ago in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, has been used already in China and the US.
As well as proving to be life-saving, the therapy appears to be safe so far, with no serious side effects observed in the small study group.
It comes after a New York City mother who survived coronavirus last week became one of the first Americans to donate her blood plasma in hope of helping others. Tiffany Pinckney, 39, said she felt like 'a beacon of hope' for those suffering.
But although experts say convalescent plasma is 'an important area to pursue', there is no conclusive evidence it is effective yet.
There is no cure for the killer coronavirus, which has infected more than 1.3million people worldwide and killed almost 80,000. Thousands of patients worldwide are involved in trials of promising medicines.
A key advantage to the blood based therapy is that it’s available immediately and relies only drawing blood from a former patient.
It is also significantly cheaper than developing a new drug, which costs millions to take through trials and regulation before mass production.

Opinions.. anybody ???

^^^

You are not getting opinions because Trump didn’t comment on this treatment yet. You will get opinions depending strictly on that. If trump mentions that treatment as possible cure, it will be mocked and downplayed as premature and giving people false hope and endangering lives, CNN will play reports of 2 people that used that treatment and died anyway, and of course reports of successful treatment will not be aired on your TV. But should Trump comment that that treatment is bad, then your TV and radio will accuse Trump of killing people by denying them this treatment.

After all the same fate is now upon hydroxy-chloroquine, there are thousands of doctors who used it successfully, and it’s clearly promising in various trials, but since Trump talks about it positively the treatment is being attacked as premature.

Surely you see a pathetic double standard, no? The treatment you posted is very similar, it’s promising, and people are having success with it, but there are no lengthy peer reviewed studies yet to support it’s use.

@Kusokosla Do you seriously believe the scientific community cares about whether trump supports something or not? The USA isn't the whole world...

There is no corona virus, corona virus is part of the flu and happens every single year....I heard a real virologist say that, you can check it out on youtube.

No it is a flu but more transmutable and you have more chance of doing if you have it

@takemi there is no danger, it happens every year, I hope that makes sense.

yes but the flu we have a vaccine and the corona we don't
