LA County is experiencing an increase in cases. Hospitals have to adapt to this pandemic. They have to make bold decisions they are not used to making. Hospitals are run by people that like to be careful when making decisions so that any change is not so radical it disturbs the smooth running of an entire hospital's systems. Every day is a day to learn how best to handle the pandemic and local health departments are really good partners.

Antibody donors are important and there should be a separation of blood donors and antibody plasma donors. THERE ARE PRIVATE COMPANIES that pay donors for their plasma as a daily practice. They sell that plasma to research companies. Those plasma companies are already staffed and equipped to carry out plasma extraction for high-level use. They should be tapped as an exclusive supply of antibody plasma.

BioLife (click here) is one of those companies.

BioLife Plasma Services (click here) is an industry leader in the collection of high-quality plasma that is processed into life-saving plasma-based therapies. We operate numerous state-of-the-art plasma collection facilities throughout the United States and Austria.

BioLife is committed to safety: through superior service we strive to ensure the safety of our donors and the patients who receive life-saving plasma-based therapeutics.

BioLife Plasma Services is part of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK), a patient-focused, values-based, R&D-driven global biopharmaceutical company committed to bringing Better Health and a Brighter Future to people worldwide by translating science into highly-innovative medicines....


MIT where are you?

This is a UV light (click here) used in hospitals for sanitation of viruses. WITH SAFETY FIRST, perhaps these lights should be considered as a part of a filtration system to help end this pandemic.


The biohazard suit below is the type of protection the nursing and MD staff need to protect themselves, especially in high-density viral areas.

They are pricey and need to be decontaminated for reuse. This is why the hospital usually uses disposable PPE. This is the TRUE REUSEABLE ALL DAY protection.

I am not sure, but, these biohazard suits are used by NASA at the Kennedy Space Center. The USA federal government probably has a stock of them. Don't know how much. Were these purchased for Eboli?







The suits for NASA won't be needed in the near future.

This is superior protection for any staff in direct contact with the ill.

Retired doctors and nurses with more advanced age should be the first to use these as they and the suits come into service.

I think I am fresh out of ideas right now. I need a cup of tea.
