He Said , had moved to the United Kingdom to test slowly, The Treatment .

"I think there are many aspects of this pandemic, we will look back and say, I Wonder why we move a little faster. I think this could be one of those".

"There's a lot we don't understand about the plasma. We Are going to learn more about what is in the plasma, the components of the antibody, and other factors, it may be, as The Weeks Go On .

"But sometimes, as a doctor, you just have to try A Shot on goal, if you have A Shot . "

How has contributed to this approach, in previous pandemics?

the use of The Blood of recovered patients is not a new idea in medicine. It was used for More Than 100 years ago during the Spanish Flu epidemic, and more recently for Ebola, and Sars.

So Far , only small studies of its effectiveness, and there is a lot of research that needs to be done to see how effective it will be against the coronavirus.

But while our options for The Treatment of coronavirus are so limited, so The Hope it might help until a vaccine is Found .
