This study supports the serial use of CP of unknown strength based on clinical response for those infected with COVID-19. The use of 3-4 units of CP was found to be statistically significant for survival for severe and critical participants without restrictive lung disease and chronic biological immunosuppression. Increased platelet levels after CP infusions supports that CP is promoting overall health regardless of outcomes.
