New emergency protocols: US FDA to allow doctors to treat critically ill patients with the virus

The treatment is known as convalescent plasma which was used during the flu pandemic of 1918. Dr Henderdon from John Hopkins University said the approach definitely has merit and its remarkable as its not a new idea but an old one.
