I read this last night: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3078840/coro... It's not peer reviewed so might not be valid or entirely accurate but worrying nevertheless.

Yes, it was already mentioned today in the update to parliament here. Apparently - as with other respiratory viral infections - if you don't get it really bad then you may not be immune. That's a pretty fine line there. This would explain some of the more puzzling positive / negative / positive test sequences.

The Red Cross is soliciting potential plasma donors via a form at https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/dlp/plasma-donati...

They're currently working to establish antibody testing, and require potential donors to be at least 14 days from end of symptoms, but they will still accept your contact information and relevant details for later contact.
