Newsroom, Apr 22: Dozens of Tablighi Jamaat members from across the country who have been successfully recovered and have now tested negative for the novel coronavirus have come forward and donate their plasma for the treatment of Covid-19 patients.
The Tablighis from Tamil Nadu were the first to take this decision. According to them, apart from helping the critically ill patients to recover from COVID-19, was to counter the ‘baseless accusations’ that Tablighis were responsible for the spread of the virus following the religious congregation of the sect held at Delhi’s Nizamuddin area last month.
Mohammad Abbas, a thirty-eight year old businessman from Tiruppur was on Sunday discharged from Coimbatore’s ESI hospital. “As soon as I got discharged, I met the district administration officials and the dean of the hospital and told them that they may contact me anytime if they needed me to donate my plasma,” Abbas was quoted as saying by an English daily.
“It has only been one day since I was discharged but I’ve already spoken to others (from the Jamaat) who have recovered and they were all ready to donate,” he added.
Leader's call
Maulana Saad Kandhalvi, a prominent leader of Tablighi Jamaat, who has been booked by the Delhi Police for holding a religious congregation, too has appealed to coronavirus survivors to donate blood plasma for infected people.
In a letter issued on Tuesday, Saad said most of the members who were quarantined did not have any infection and they tested negative for COVID-19.
"Even from amongst the ones who tested positive for the disease, a majority of them have now undergone treatment and are now cured while I and a few others are still under quarantine.
"It is required that such people who are now cured of this disease should donate blood plasma to others who are still fighting the disease and are under treatment," he said.
He also has urged the followers of the organisation to pray at home in the month of Ramadan instead of going to mosques.
Plasma therapy
Convalescent Plasma Therapy is an experimental procedure for COVID-19 patients.
In this therapy, the antibodies of a person who has recovered from the virus are taken and transfused into a sick person (having the virus) to help boost the person’s immune system.
The recovered COVID-19 patient’s blood develops antibodies to battle against COVID-19.
Once the blood of the first patient is infused to the second patient, those antibodies will start fighting against the coronavirus in the second person.
The process for donating plasma is similar to donating blood and takes about an hour.
Several countries around the world including the United Kingdom and the United States have also started plasma therapy trials.
In India, several states like Kerala, Gujarat and Punjab have already started using Plasma Therapy for the corona-infected patients.
Raghavan went missing since the video of him with an iron rod trying to break into a businessman’s house went viral on YouTube and other social media.

Hi All!Just a couple of answers to your concerns:1. The dive was over Monterey bay-- absolutely
beautiful.2. You get out of the front turns by curving your body and assuming the basic
skydive hover position.3. As for how I dissect different
subjects, I'll be diving into that soon utilizing languages as the example!Pura

Jay, All in all there is not one technique that beats them all.
As history does restart itself we lend your concepts and strategies
based upon the past. There is not one individual who can anticipate the future and
investing is more basic than what so many people aim to make it out to be.
Reselling is the exact same as a financial investment, let's not
complicate what has to remain simple.JoseLikeLike
