“Patient in critical condition in DC hospital seeking B+ friendly blood plasma transfer from recovered COVID-19 patient”

By Prince Of Petworth

Ashtan sends the request from Dave Dochter:

“Unfortunately, I’m in a situation where I need some help. My father contracted Covid-19 a week ago and he’s been fighting it. He’s in the hospital in critical condition. We have just received special approval from the FDA to do a blood plasma transfer from a recovered COVID-19 patient. If anyone out there has previously tested positive, recovered, has a blood type that can donate to B+ and is willing to donate please msg me directly. This blood has been very hard to find I’m hoping by posting this I can find someone to help our family.”

“Dear PoPville,

Does DC have any agreed-upon sign/symbol/piece of clothing to wear to indicate that you’ve already had Covid-19 and are recovered, and thus don’t need to wear a mask? My entire household has already had it and we’re finally out of home isolation. We’re getting dirty looks for not wearing masks, but per our doctors, we currently have immunity and also have practically zero risk of transmitting the virus to anyone else. So I’d rather not wear masks if we don’t have to. In Italy they are talking about having immune citizens wear a certain bracelet. Has anyone heard of the same in DC?”

“Dear PoPville,

I started The Meal Bridge in DC to help local DC restaurants and healthcare providers. The idea is to have individuals or families sign up on the website to order a meal for the ICU staff of 12 and have it delivered.

email [email protected] for any restaurants that would like to participate. Additionally, we are in the process of adding some units at GW Hospital.”

Other options to help healthcare workers Operation Coronavirus Dry Skin Relief and Feeding Those Treating Us:

“DC local chef Erik Bruner-Yang will be teaming up with me to create meals for our DC hospitals. Thanks, Erik!

I would like to have this an ongoing thing through the pandemic, and even include other departments like the ICU of hospitals into the mix, if possible.

I will also provide receipts (for accountability), and photographs and hopefully videos of the staff’s receipt of meals so that you can see the smiles of appreciation.”
