“Hospitals in Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland have all expressed interest in participating in the treatment protocol,” said Lt. Governor Jon Husted in the state’s daily coronavirus briefing. “This is another great step in our efforts to save lives.”
According to the Ohio Department of Health, “Convalescent plasma is rich in antibodies that could possibly attack the virus that causes COVID-19. It shows promise to lessen the severity or shorten the length of COVID-19.”
While currently just an investigative treatment, the thought is that an infusion of blood from a recovered patient will give sick patients the COVID-19 antibodies to help them fight off the virus. Plasma is only obtained from patients who have been recovered from the virus for at least two weeks and it is thought each plasma donation could potentially help up to four patients.
The FDA is just approving the infusions through “an emergency investigational new drug application process with academic institutions to evaluate its safety and efficacy,” says the Ohio Department of Health. The FDA says the hope is that thousands of units of plasma will be available to patients in the coming weeks.
If you want to know about the plasma program or what patients qualify for receiving plasma, visit uscovidplasma.org. The basic requirements are, according to the Mayo Clinic, which is spearheading the plasma program:
Patients are 18+ years of age
They have a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19
They are admitted to an acute care facility for the treatment of COVID-19 complications
They have severe or life-threatening COVID-19, or judged by the treating provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease
There is informed consent provided by the patient or healthcare proxy
They also have to be treated at a participating center — like the Christ Hospital Lindner Research Center
Health care providers not directly associated with a study can submit applications through certain pathways for individual patients.

Got yer plasma certificate?
I’m mean these friggin people will not stop until they can inject everyone. What the heck man.
When will YOU stop, you delusional tin-foil mush-brained crackpot?
I will hound you and stalk you for the duration, you POS.
If you notice, none of these conspiracy loving dummies are mentioning 5G anymore. Know why?
184 Countries with reported covid19 cases
5 Countries with actual 5G towers
That’s some real conspiratard math for you there. Don’t listen to these people, most of them can’t count to 5, much less 19. Keep crowing to whoever will still listen to you about forced vaccines and ID you dipshits. If we’re lucky, the one thing that will never go back to normal is the credence people give these ridiculous conspiracies.
No, it won’t.
Besides, your brain was fried long before 5G was ever a thing. Obviously.
Oh because you know what 5g is going to do because you did so much research? No. You’re dumb. There are tower climbers, scientists, and doctors saying how bad it is but I’m sure you with your casual news consumption are an expert.
Well, first, I consume a lot more than just news. Where are all these supposed experts speaking out? Right wing conspiracy websites? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
How is it going to go about “fucking us up”? Let’s think about the fact that people said the same damn thing about cell phones, and it was bullshit. 3g, and it was bullshit. 4g, and again, it was bullshit. You’re a dumb cunt who couldn’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground, but you want people to believe that you’re “woke” or “redpilled” or whatever stupidly ironic terminology that you probably use to describe yourself. You aren’t intelligent and you aren’t privy to any secret info that’s going to save the world you precious little ass clown.
People love conspiracies because it makes them feel a sense of superiority and because they’re easy to understand and consume without having to do any real thinking or research for yourself. It’s all there for you in neat, easily digestable bites from Alex Jones or David Icke or Limbaugh or Hannity or whatever technophobic, redundant dickhead who supposedly has their finger on the pulse this month. Except, the finger is really up your ass, along with the entire hand, moving your mouth like the dumb little puppet bitch you are.
Tell me this one, genius, when it has been documented that the amount of radiation 5G puts out isn’t strong enough to break chemical bonds, how in the world is it going to do you harm? Don’t tell me about cumulative effects, because it hasn’t been around long enough for real testing on cumulative effects to be done. So, explain it to me there, Mr. So Well Informed.
I’m willing to bet that you can’t and you won’t and that any sources you might point to for your so called insider info are just as corrupt and transparent as your claims. When it’s as obvious as it is that you’ve already been completely and utterly wrong about 5G and Covid-19, why should anyone listen to your panicky Pete bullshit?
184 Countries with the virus.
5 Countries with actual working 5G towers.
Thank you, Sherlock Holmes, for your brilliant deductions. Next!
Because that last post was getting so long, lets get a little more in depth on this one.
The type and strength of radiation produced by 5G is not strong enough to break chemical bonds. Most 5G technology operates using the same EM frequencies we’ve been using for decades to transmit television and radio waves. Even the millimeter wave technology that can be, but often isn’t because it’s prohibitively expensive, used to transmit 5G signals, is no more dangerous than visible light or other EM frequencies that have been used for decades. The waves are still well below visible light and are non ionizing, so even the higher frequency methods of transmission pose little to no risk. Certainly no more risk than that cell phone you’re using to type out your replies, genius.
The key here is energy and these types of EM waves don’t produce enough energy to break down chemical bonds. Just because it’s new, doesn’t mean it’s dangerous. Only 2 out of 5 major carriers in the US use the millimeter wave technology, and it’s nothing to be afraid of according to the vast majority of scientists. You’re probably one of those dickheads who still ignores the over 97% consensus on anthropogenic climate change, but will still drag out scientists, whom you normally completely disregard, in order to attempt to make a point. What’s up with that?
Like I said, people dragged out these same tired ass arguments when cell phones were first introduced, saying they were going to give us all tumors. What was the result? Incidences of brain cancer actually decreased between 1992 and 2016, when cell phone use was becoming more prevalent amongst the general population.
So, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up with your fear mongering speculation on 5G. It’s no more dangerous than products you’ve been using for years…
