Stateside: Plasma antibody treatment; growing up in era of school shootings; Detroit’s lost students

Epidemiologist Nigel Paneth, who is on the leadership team of the National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project, explained how antibodies from recovered COVID-19 patients may help with coronavirus prevention or treatment.

Today on Stateside, hospitals and health workers are still looking for ways to safely interact with patients following the first COVID-19 surge in Michigan. We check in with an epidemiologist who’s researching how plasma from recovered patients might help those at high risk of infection. Plus, we continue to look at what school might look like in the fall as the governor's Return to Learn Task Force wraps up its work and recommendations next week.
