Study Hints Survivor Plasma Fights COVID-19

Mayo Clinic researchers reported a strong hint that blood plasma from COVID-19 survivors may help.

The plasma of recovered patients may help other patients recover, reports CNN.

However, itโ€™s not completely proven and some experts worry.

Amid the clamor for treatment, many experts believe we may not get a clear answer.

More than 64,000 patients in the U.S. have been given convalescent plasma.

This is a century-old approach to fend off flu and measles before vaccines.

Itโ€™s a go-to tactic when new diseases come along but it is not always effective.
