The COVID-19 surge is bringing to light the desperate need for convalescent plasma, which in some cases has helped patients fight off the deadly coronavirus.
Valerie Perkins, whose husband just received a plasma donation Tuesday, says she hopes it s the boost he and so many others fighting COVID-19 may need. This is his seventh day, so he’s getting plasma as we speak, Perkins, a Menifee resident, said.
