Trump needs a reason for daily briefings, and to get great ratings. Trump, after the chloroquine debacle was looking for another miracle. He needs a miracle. He wants to BRAND the miracle, Trump like on his buildings. He doesn't really build anything. He brands what is built. Now shut up, and take your Trump infusion.
Trump now wants to take credit for using blood of survivors. Without any REAL proof that it works. Without even a study to see if antibodies stop you from getting it, if infused. And it is already an easy thing to do for the sick. More testing will be needed, to find those with antibodies, and survived covid19. So, Trump, in order to push this therapy, will invariably have to eat crow on testing efficacy.

Trump to announce emergency authorization of convalescent plasma as 'breakthrough' covid-19 treatmen
Many scientists and physicians believe that convalescent plasma might provide some benefit but is far from a breakthrough. It is rich in antibodies that could be helpful in fighting the coronavirus, but the evidence so far has not been conclusive about whether it works, when to administer it and what dose is needed. On CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday, former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the blood product — derived from patients who have survived covid-19 — is “probably beneficial” for covid-19 patients. The issuance of an emergency authorization would make it easier to get in some settings. But he also said it already is widely available, so the change would be “incremental.”
The announcement comes as Trump has put extraordinary pressure on federal agencies to test and approve treatments and, especially, a vaccine against the novel coronavirus which has already killed more than 170,000 Americans. The president’s political advisers believe that having a vaccine by Election Day is key to his prospects for winning.
