[By James Hobbs in London.] After my skirmish with Covid-19, I recently donated convalescent plasma, which was a surprisingly uplifting experience. The venue, at the Westfield shopping centre at Stratford, east London, used to be a baby-care store but is now an amazing, busy, cheerful place of mostly men attached to machines that circulate the blood back into the donor once the plasma is removed. Plasma can be frozen in readiness to help those in intensive care during the surge in coronavirus cases.
If you’ve had the virus and are eligible to donate, wherever you live, I’d urge you to consider it.
