That's good to hear. I'm praying for everyone who is battling this awful virus and their families. It's heartbreaking to hear on the news from people who couldn't be with their parents when they passed.

I wish they would focus more on those that have survived. If they can use the plasma from those who survived to help those battling this virus, it would be wonderful to hear.

@CAcableGirl2 the tales of separation before death are truly the most excruciating to bear.

i think most officials are trying to facilitate availability of any and all modes of physician-supervised possible treatments as well as accelerating regulatory processes to move new tests along without threatening public health. prayers up for all those on these frontlines.

we are also lucky to have a vibrant pharma/biotech sector.

So glad! Here's hoping for full, rapid recovery. Every victory over this horrible invisible menace is so heartening.

@NicksmomESQ @Oznell may the progress continue - for the PM and all those fighting the battle worldwide.

prayers up in this holy season of Passover and Easter for them, all on the frontlines of research/care/food delivery/first responders/military/the grieving --- and all of us who are doing our part, keeping to the guidelines every day. fight on!
