This Wednesday, the White House released President Trumps latest medical update. Within the update, it was noted that Trumps lab results showed detectable levels of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies a detail that some doctors say is useless information since Trump was infused with those very same antibodies during the course of his treatment.

He's being cured with antibodies from ASIA.
One of the two antibodies in the cocktail used to treat US president Donald Trump for COVID-19 was developed using blood samples from three patients in Singapore. REGN-COV2, a combination of two antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, was developed by US-based biotechnology company Regeneron. Two papers describing preclinical studies of REGN-COV2 have been published in Science.

(Sorry about the really poor web design. It's still a fun read.)
Hawkeye opens another letter to his father during a 'typical' day at the 4077th. The overall theme is the boredom of daily camp routine, but not without moments of intense drama such as when Hawkeye treats a bigoted sergeant who does not want blood "of the wrong color" or when another soldier is brought into the O.R. with a live grenade in his body.

Regeneron notes of report President Trump has antibodies: Given the volume of IgG antibodies delivered in our therapy, and the timing of these tests, it is likely that the second test is detecting REGN-COV2 antibodies.
