Doctors in New York are collecting plasma from people who have recovered after contracting coronavirus and will inject the antibody-rich fluid into patients still battling COVID-19. Two experimental medical interventions - the blood plasma transfusions and antibody testing in order to send survivors back to work are already in progress. The convalescent plasma treatment dates back as far as the 1918 flu outbreak.
