Woman saves her aunt and a stranger with COVID-19 plasma donation
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
Two people from South Jersey who were in critical condition from COVID-19 have been released from the hospital, after they received convalescent plasma transfusions. After recovering from a mild case of COVID-19 herself, Marisa Leuzzi heard about Mayo Clinic’s national clinical trials and wanted to donate her plasma in an attempt to save her aunt, who was critically ill with the virus. Her donation ended up helping another person as well. Today on KYW In Depth, KYW reporter John McDevitt joins the podcast with Marisa Leuzzi's story -- how she found out about the procedure, got the wheels turning, and donated her plasma.
