John,
In the newest episode of our Follow the Data podcast series, infectious
disease expert Dr. Arturo Casadevall discusses how blood plasma from recovered
COVID-19 patients could be used to treat and prevent the disease in others.
Dr. Casadevall is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins
University. He joins Dr. Jessica Leighton from the Bloomberg Philanthropies
public health team to explore the possibilities -- and challenges -- facing
this potential treatment.
The results so far are promising. Find out more by listening to the full

Dr. Casadevall and Dr. Leighton touch on the uses of blood plasma treatments
in previous outbreaks, the research taking place today, and how long it might
take to determine its effectiveness in treating sick patients and boosting the
immune systems of health care workers and first responders.
To support this endeavor, Bloomberg Philanthropies is teaming up with Maryland
Governor Larry Hogan and Johns Hopkins University to fund the research and
teams working on developing this therapy.
