Tweet #4: I am so touched by how many ppl want to donate plasma. Whether you can donate to my family member at this time, you can help by donating blood products in gen'l. We current have a huge blood shortage nationally. Go here to make an appt: https://t.co/hyKDYx7WkT #COVID19— Tatiana Prowell, MD (@tmprowell) March 26, 2020
Tweet #6: Here you can learn more about why researchers are studying use of convalescent plasma for #COVID19: https://t.co/ms3Y44m6Mo. It's not a new idea. It's been tried for many past virus infxns (Spanish Flu >100 yrs ago, SARS, MERS, H1N1 flu, etc) w/ benefit in some pts.— Tatiana Prowell, MD (@tmprowell) March 26, 2020
Tweet #8: Plasma is important all the time, not just during #COVID19 too. It is used in trauma and burn victims, people who have certain disorders that make them high risk for bleeding or infection, & other things. It is always needed, as are all blood products.— Tatiana Prowell, MD (@tmprowell) March 26, 2020
Tweet #9: I have to get back to trying to help my family, but this was some #MedEd to thank you all. We are truly touched. If you're bored in #QuarantineLife or feeling like you want to help somehow w/ #COVID19, pls make an appt & donate blood products: https://t.co/ZTsKpTL598.🙏— Tatiana Prowell, MD (@tmprowell) March 26, 2020
