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

By Prince Of Petworth

Published April 13, 2020 at 1:15PM

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?”

On Friday we spoke about where folks were getting their masks. For folks who were making them on their own I asked if they’d send us some of their goods. Boy did you answer. Have a gander and the many many more examples below: (more…)
