In Update #23, on the Wuhan New Coronavirus (now officially “Covid-19”), Chris Martenson reports:

“Finally, some good news? While the Coronavirus continues its spread throughout China and elsewhere in the world (we now have the first confirmed case in Africa), we are hearing about an encouraging development on the treatment front.

Chinese hospitals are reporting success treating severely sick patients with the blood plasma of those who have recently recovered. At least 11 patients treated this way went from ‘critically ill’ to much improved in just 24 hours. This is not an uncommon form of treatment, so it’s a process the medical establishment knows how to successfully replicate.

The big questions now are: Can this success be dependably replicated? Can it be done so at scale? How quickly can this be ramped up? And how big an impact can this make in world governments’ efforts to contain Covid-19? Right now, we have very little to go by. But this is the first glimmer of positive news we’ve heard yet. As we learn more about this potential way to reduce fatalities from the virus, we’ll immediately update you.“
