Has it been demonstrated that Covid-19 survivors' plasma can be given to Covid sufferers to improve their survivability?
We have a handful of N95 masks (gave the rest away). If it sits for several days between use will that effectively neutralize any virus contamination? Is there any other way to easily decontaminate it so it can be reused?
I've been digging around pretty much non stop, but maybe you've come across a better article/study/data pool about length of time to be considered recovered?
from how i understand there are two strains of covid19- if you caught and endured one strain, does that imply immunity/resistance to reacquiring both?
Question Doc_Slo
I read that IgG shows up about 10 days after onset of fever in SARS-02 but some patients with SARS-19 shed RNA much longer. Is it too pessimistic to think antibody titers might not always indicate a resolution of the infectious stage?

question for you - silver lining-wise, do you think that the general public’s education and experience during the COVID-19 situation will reap benefits related to future flu season health management (keeping in mind that the flu season routinely takes many lives each year)? it’s almost like people are finally paying attention to something they should have been paying attention to previously for a good long while. and the training everyone has been subjected to has the potential to save lives even after the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course.
