A California man who was diagnosed with coronavirus, but recovered, has donated his plasma to help others fighting the potentially deadly virus.
On March 6, Jason Garcia noticed he had a mild cough and some congestion. The 36-year-old aerospace engineer from Escondido, California, didn't think that much of it. But later while on a work trip, he noticed a headache had begun accompanying his cough. Within a day, he also had a fever and body aches that quickly came and went. Then he began experiencing shortness of breath.Garcia called his doctor and based on his symptoms was told to go to the hospital and get tested for coronavirus.
Joseph's Hospital in Orange County, California, also took to social media to say they were looking for someone who had been diagnosed with coronavirus and had recovered to help with an experimental treatment to potentially save the life of another coronavirus patient.A friend who saw both social media posts reached out and the hospital called Garcia just a few days after his quarantine had ended, he said.
