Coronavirus - future problems with Transfusions/blood products?

[retroHelen]

I thought this was an interesting article. Testing for a virus of any sort has always been a problem when it hides resembling just one part of DNA for some time in a person's cell.

 

The other problem is that they still don't know exactly for how long shed virus is still active and infectious in blood after a person has been infected with coronavirus. 

Here is the article about the problems encountered with various Coronaviruses and blood products. In fact, they seem to hint that maybe some might have caught some coronaviruses from undetected blood products as they carry in plasma as well as other body liquids:

All these countries that have Coronavirus - often in people who do not realise they are carrying it and it is dormant inside cells and difficult to detect until they replicate and burst out of cells and people start showing symptoms -  are exporters of Blood and blood products: http://www.worldstopexports.com/top-blood-exporters-by-country/

 

There is a really bad problem with illegal blood donation stations in China - the seeming source of this latest outbreak of Coronavirus. 

 

In the last 30 years it is already known that illegal donation stations selling contaminated blood were responsible for a large number of HIV infections in China. For years  the government has tried  to shut them down, only for others to be created.

 

Blood donation to these illegal donation stations was for money and attracted many poor infected people in rural China or even legal donation stations where it was taken from weak  prisoners from the labour camps of Xinjiang. Then the blood was mixed and centrifuged unfiltered and untested and sold on even in America. As well as HIV they will now have the risk of this new virus in the units!
