Why would they have to do a study on this? Wouldn’t they already know if this works?

Serum therapy was supplanted by modern pharmaceuticals, R1; this is already a proven treatment for a lot of different diseases.

Is this using the blood of those who have recovered from covid 19?

Correct, R3.

This is what Trump has been given. Hate me but I hope it's ineffective for that reason.

I would think the Chinese already tried this since it's been around for a long time. And, apparently, people are becoming reinfected in China.

Did the malaria drug ever work? I mean we have to find a cure for this or people are going to freak when flu season comes back around and they think they've caught coronavirus.

The "cure" / vaccine is 12 to 18 months away. FYI: there has NEVER been a successful vaccine developed for a Corona Virus. They are desperately going though a list of all currently approved drugs to see if possible drugs developed for other conditions may mitigate COVID-19. They did the same thing with HIV. It failed. It is a medical Hail Mary Pass.
