My plan for today to keep healthy.
1. Stay indoors as much as possible. ( It's so good I'm still in my jammies)
2. Ride the cycle and try to keep social distancing by not running into anyone.
3. Go pitch horseshoes at pits where no one else is.
4. Go fishing and find a spot where no one else is.
5. return home to enjoy more self quarantine. ( God I love it so!)

Crops get plowed under milk gets dumped all around the world without the Coronavirus..food gets pitched by restaurants and Groceries. Target alone when food reaches a day before expiration the expectation is fresh product is disposed and dry goods ..pet foods can be donated. The milk thing is millions of cartons for schools are not being filled..while grocery store milk lines are running 24 hours a day.

Serious question... why can't people who have recovered (and presumably have antibodies) donate blood to those who are infected as a way to help them recover?

EDIT: I've been asking my epidimeologist wife this question for a few weeks, and I can't get a straight answer. So, naturally, I now turn to BP... lol.

This was answered earlier. Yes. Antibodies can be harvested from "donor" blood. But it's another experiment at this point even though it has the advantage of not having to go through most of the normal drug testing trials. Right now there is a general blood shortage. So where you gonna find "donor" blood?
