TOM HANKS: Second Plasma Donation

Tom Hanks Instagrammed his second plasma donation.

Because he recovered from COVID-19, his immune system produced antibodies to the coronavirus. Researchers believe the antibodies in his blood system could help them construct an effective vaccine. Also, hospital doctors have treated seriously ill COVID-19 patients with donated plasma carrying antibodies against the virus. (USA Today)

Doctor Michael Joyner of the Mayo Clinic said about 15,000 COVID patients have been treated with antibody-rich plasma. The results have been positive.
