Coronavirus good news thread

Clusters of symptoms identified and grouped, which going forward may allow medical staff to identify the likely course of severity that the disease will take in an individual and the treatment required, allowing for early intervention to reduce the progression. Whilst not directly a treatment in itself, it could be a game changer -

The article mentions positive outcomes of using human serum. Have you seen any links to any results?

I've read a few articles, all of which seem to say positive things about the use of convalescent plasma in general but point out the fact that by its nature, it's always going to be in limited supply, so it's not something you can rely on to treat the majority of cases and that there are no definite results for CoVid-19 as yet.

Here's a link with some results:

Some really promising research is being done which is great news. Now I know many were/are against lockdown, but by not overwhelming the hospitals I am sure that has helped provide more opportunities and data for the research than if there had just been a constant stream of patients and no time to do anything other than providing triage care. It's certainly been a challenge and a long game, but it would seem that a lot of clever people have been working very hard to do their bit and have used the time bought by the various lockdowns to good effect.
Hopefully the knowledge and treatments will be passed onto the developing world without huge costs as well.
 
After 4 months of asking for testing for patients and staff at our local Nursing home the kits have arrived.
On the same morning we had an e mail from MBC saying if they were kits made by a certain company don't use them they don't work.
Of course when we checked they were the duff ones. What a farce.
