I know donating blood in itself is a great thing for those who need it, but if I have COVID antibodies will donating blood be able to transfer any of those antibodies?

Currently suffering this WuFlu joke.... couple cold sweats at night and a fever from time to time and that’s about it

Nah, not true. You're falling for propaganda.

Let's talk about why you think the way you do, then. Here is my stance on it:

The virus is quite real.

Is it a deadly horrible plague like the media says?

No. The mortality is quite low, and now the treatment itself makes it even lower, as doctors already know how to treat it better as they've gained plenty of experience this year.

Has the entire world completely overreacted with the lockdowns?

Yes. Most countries just followed the US example, because the money the US throws on science and medicine is greater than their entire budget. So for most of them I bet the consideration was that if smarter scientists decided to do so, it must be the correct course of action (while completely disregarding the political situation in the US that led to such decisions being made in the first place).

Are the tests for covid wonderful and precise?

No, but it was a solution that worked because you need to test a whole bunch of people in a short period of time. That's why you need a procedure that every lab is equipped to perform. Having a perfect test with 100% accuracy that only a handful of people can perform in one or two labs in the world will do you no good. They will not be able to deal with the work load.

Sure it is. And fruit has it. And goats have it. And everyone has it. You are easily led, sheep.

Like arguing with a flat earther.

Do you even know how a PCR test works? Do you know what is being tested? The purity of those fruit and goat samples? The microorganisms that might've been included in the samples? The genome of the fruit, goats, bacteria that have the sequences that are similar enough for the primers used to detect the covid RNA, and lead to a false positive result?

Imagine you have a basket with balls in it. Most are red, and some are blue, and you need to count the blue ones. You can easily examine each, tell the colors apart, and count how many (if any) blue balls you have in said basket.

Now if you are looking for something blue, but can't know the shape of the objects. You assume it's all balls but there are no guarantees that there aren't other shapes inside. You'll end up with blue cubes and cylinders, and pyramids. Not just balls. Because you weren't expecting to have samples which are not balls. Do you understand now?
