[ITS OZX-]

US President Donald Trump announced that the US Food and Drug Administration has issued a mandate to treat Corona using plasma of those recovering from the virus, stressing that his country is working to remove everything that may delay reaching a vaccine for the Corona virus.

Trump said during a press conference that a number of recovered plasma samples were collected to treat people with Corona, noting that the US authorities recently provided two hundred and seventy million dollars to the American Red Cross and blood banks in America, to collect up to three hundred and sixty thousand units of plasma, for use.

In addition, the Trump Corona team reported that it is looking for a treatment that reduces the death rate of the elderly.

It is believed that plasma (blood serum) contains powerful antibodies that can help people with Covid-19 fight the virus at a faster rate, and it can also contribute to reducing the dangerous repercussions of the epidemic.

Although plasma is currently used in the treatment of people with Covid-19 in the United States and other countries, controversy still exists among experts about its effectiveness, and some of them have warned of side effects.

Lynn Horowitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, says: "The plasma of the recoverers is likely beneficial, although this is not proven in clinical trials, but it is not a salvage treatment for patients with severe symptoms."

It is likely that the plasma is more effective in those who have just had contact with people with the virus, that is, at the stage in which the body is trying to eliminate inflammation.

Trump had said earlier Sunday that he would announce happy news at the White House press conference, in a tweet to him on the social networking site "Twitter", while the "Al Arabiya" correspondent in Washington stated that the US President would announce an emergency permit to use plasma Recovering to treat Corona.

US President Donald Trump pressured the US health authorities to develop and adopt a vaccine for the emerging corona virus that causes Covid-19 disease, in a tweet he published on Saturday on the Twitter site for social networking.

Trump said in his tweet, "The deep state, or anyone else, in the US Food and Drug Administration is making it very difficult for pharmaceutical companies to find people to test vaccines and treatments on. They are clearly hoping to delay the response until after November 3. The focus should be on." Speed, save lives. "

The tweet was directed to Stephen Hahn, Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration.

Trump has said in the past that he hopes to have a vaccine developed sooner than the election date.
