A California man who was diagnosed with coronavirus, but recovered, has donated his plasma to help others fighting the potentially deadly virus.

On March 6, Jason Garcia noticed he had a mild cough and some congestion. The 36-year-old aerospace engineer from Escondido, California, didn't think that much of it. But later while on a work trip, he noticed a headache had begun accompanying his cough. Within a day, he also had a fever and body aches that quickly came and went. Then he began experiencing shortness of breath.Garcia called his doctor and based on his symptoms was told to go to the hospital and get tested for coronavirus.

Joseph's Hospital in Orange County, California, also took to social media to say they were looking for someone who had been diagnosed with coronavirus and had recovered to help with an experimental treatment to potentially save the life of another coronavirus patient.A friend who saw both social media posts reached out and the hospital called Garcia just a few days after his quarantine had ended, he said.

And here in Pakistan .. the authorities are beating and putting doctors in jail for asking for personal protective kits

Donald Trump is manipulating stock and oil markets!

Happy for him. Not so much for CNN though....

Good news. Whenever i see 'A california man', i know something positive as opposed to ' A florida man'. I hope it works.

Plasma TV's are dated nobody wants them anymore.

Aren't there thousands of people that have it with just mild cold/flu like symptoms and get over it

We the people will win f:::CNN

It’s the right thing to do. Good dude!

Donate your plasma for a prosedure that’s almost entirely used by the wealthy and powerful right now. 🤔 Now they’re literally stealing our blood.

I wonder if the other 98%+ that have survived COVID19 are also willing to donate plasma?

Good

He’s recovered. Why would he still be wearing that mask? He should no longer be contagious or fearful of the disease. Masks are wrong to sell fear, unless your a healthcare worker

This was last week. I saw him interviewed last Thursday. CNN . . . 'Breaking News'!

The Coronavirus Or Coronaagenda?

Thank you

All of this could've been much less deadly if our healthcare system put people before profits. Faster response time, more equipment, better funding, less paperwork, fewer deaths. We need medicare for all now.

👏👏👏👍👍👍

关注自身问题,寻找解决方法,不要推卸责任,这才是一个好的媒体的社会担当。

Why no interest from doctors and drug companies regards plasma. THEY CAN'T MAKE MONEY FROM HUMAN GIFTED LIFE SAVING PLASMA.

What’s plasma

Plasma is just part of your blood. If you donate blood, you donate plasma. One would think they would be doing this anyway on many to try to get a vaccine, so the story doesn't make much sense to me. They haven't even proven if it reinfects yet.

2 hours and and 5 pints later, he probably is regretting his decision.

Im not sure how that works but I already like the sound of it...kinda like the movie ‘I am legend’? MarTzudir what say? 😂

中国两个月前就这么做了!通告给美国了,美国傲慢的不听,非得自己探索救治方法,当然,当然,这可以理解,但是其中因为傲慢而死去的人,他们的死毫无价值。

If you do mass antibody testing, you'll find a lot of people who have the ability to donate plasma without even knowing it.

Very nice intiative.

That’s very kind and generous

That blood type is “Au” in this pandemic.

This is the face of the real hero during this troubled time Coronafighters Salute

GREAT

God bless you brother... Quick recovery to others.

What part of 'deadly pandemic' don't they get?Why does social distancing in the coronavirus pandemic still meet resistance when we know it can flatten the curve, reduce deaths and save our lives and the lives of others? right? It’s not just younger people 18 to 40 not staying home!!! I keep seeing young people getting singled out while kids and the elderly get a pass!!! I personally don't get the part where all the ER's and urgent cares are dead empty,, but we keep hearing these crazy death totals.. This pandemic isn't happening as described on the tv news..
