it doesn't mean your immune but it seems that the immune response that means the difference between recovery and not can be transferred... or that is the theory

We wont know if it makes you immune for many years to come.. although the tests done so far suggest it... but I'd have rather had it and know I recovered than be waiting to see

I think it's the nature of the scientific process. Theories and evidence are constantly reviewed. There's been use of plasma for a while and it appeared to shorten the duration and possibly the severity of the infection, I think I recall from the earlier output.

The use of plasma as a treatment is different to the potential benefits of having your own antibodies, following your infection, with potential resultant resistance to infection afterwards.

With the latter, it appears probable that most people seem to not acquire reinfection, likely as a result, but for what period of time and the degree of infection, remained uncertain, was the last I saw.

You're aware of the scientific process?

The trial is to help people currently in hospital from having a less severe reaction to covid-19, not for immunity purposes.

As I'm part Transilvanian probably not a good idea for me to donate.

They are also desperately in need of standard blood donations.

I gave my first donation a month ago and was surprised how easy it was.

I never qualified because of the tablets I was on, but they have recently changed the criteria and lots more people are eligible

It's T-Cells they need,apparently, not antibodies.

My dear old dad had that explained to him when he was taken into hospital a couple of weeks ago.
