In simple terms, this means blood transfers from recovered patients to currently infected patients. Transferred antibodies will give a boost to the recipients immune system, and give more time for natural immune response to develop.

If this were implemented on a massive scale, wouldn't it be a solution to mitigate covid-19 completely?
