Soooo it shall soon be " Survival of the Fittest in 2 weeks...


It is survival of the fittest plan... I sense he is saying to America...he has no more time to waste on loosing re-election votes..." Let the people fall as they may".

This is chaos he does not like, crisis is too time consuming.....so, then, lift the precautions...if you die, you die...Is that what anyone else understands???? Am I hearing he is down playing it..???


Now, they are talking about IVIG/ gamma globulin for " some immunity boosting....Well...I have said for a few days, he probably is receiving IVIG infusions....prophylactic was my guess...Just a speculative thought....I give this medication as an Infusion Specialist...Hope now that we don't have a shortage...my current clients could suffer if the drug goes to the rich...

Probably why they are pushing for blood donations...That is where we get IVIG...Plasma Centers typically but who knows if they use the blood donors blood too.

Is this something widely available?

I was wondering why there are so many calls for blood donations if this is a pulmonary problem.

IVIG comes from blood...it's that yellow serum that separates from whole blood...but then PCR testes/ processed into IVIG...So, we hear a lot of requests for blood....Just thinking outside the box.
