I think that the shift to “just in time” production accounts for quite a bit of the shortages of medical masks as well. People think there are big warehouses full of goods waiting to be sold, but with modern manufacturing processes the existence of a big warehouse is evidence of inefficiency. Some manufacturers load pallets right onto waiting trailers as product rolls off the line.

this. i worked in manufacturing for years. a warehouse full of goods is just wasted money. most products are made to order and shipped direct

That's kind of my point. If you're a local New Yorker you're involved in the acute care and not dying.
I'm sitting here thinking about what the rest of the medical apparatus can do while we're waiting for the wave to come our way. Serum banking seems a productive use of our resources while we've brought elective items to a crawl.

I just find it a bit ironic that those most affected right now May very well sit on a veritable biological gold mine right afterwards. And i mostly just highlight the self-interest that we should not think of this as a New York problem but a shared problem that we could start on right now in a large way.

Some academic institutions are already doing this but I think this is subpar and mobilizing a large reaction. The fastest way to know if this works and as well to stockpile things is large plasma campaigns followed by large multicenter trials. Large being operative word and I'm not seeing large.

it might not be a panacea but we have nothing for the critically ill except supportive care right now. then we'd have to figure out safety and efficacy for less ill-patients to see about risk and benefits.

And we've got a lot of hematology resources on standstill across the country right now.

Found this.
National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project

Incredible to me that this is self organized and a single national push.
