More than 1,100 believers in Daegu church, which was infected with a new type of coronavirus in February of this year, began to donate their blood plasma on the 27th of this month. This is the second time they have donated blood plasma, following the first donation from July 13 to 17.

According to the announcement by the headquarters of the disease control center and Shinchonji, 1,100 members of Daegu churches will participate in this program at the Daegu Athletics Promotion Center from that day until the 4th of next month.

A total of 628 people have already donated plasma components in July. If we include this second round of participation, there will be more than 1,700 people who will be donating plasma.

On July 25, Dr. Man-hee Lee, the president of the New Heaven and Earth General Assembly, wrote a letter in which he said, "Let's take the lead in plasma donation so that the blood (plasma) of the saints who were forgiven for their sins through the blood of Jesus can be used by Korea and the nation to overcome the new corona.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expressed their gratitude to the city of Daegu for providing a place for group blood donation, and to the members of the Shinchonji congregation for their willingness to participate in the plasma drive.

The Shinchonji side stated, "We have not forgotten the many confirmed cases that occurred in February and March, and we are sorry for the worry and anxiety we caused the people," and said, "We will continue to work closely with the Disease Control Headquarters and do our best to help overcome the new corona.

Ham Sang-hyun, 24, of Daegu North District, who donated plasma for the day, said that it was not an easy task to overcome the new corona, saying, "I spent a month at the treatment center, but the treatment was hard both mentally and physically.

There are many people who have not yet been able to receive the treatment, so I decided to participate in the plasma donation program with the hope that the new corona would be developed quickly and be of help to the people, and that the new corona would end and they could return to their daily lives. I hope it will be completed and people all over the world can get out of their pain," he said.

Mi-young Jeong, 53, of Soosung-gu, Daegu, is still suffering from the aftereffects of her illness. She said, "I was released from the hospital right away, but I had to suffer at home for a month or two longer because of the aftereffects. I experienced a lot of pain as a result of contracting the new corona virus, but I heard that a plasma donation was being offered.

Ko Hae-yong (29, Daegu Nam-gu), who entered a lifestyle treatment center as a result of the new corona infection and had to reorganize his office, said, "My new place was criticized by society, but there were some misunderstandings, so I also wanted to show my contribution to society and hope that the world will recover from the disease soon. As a "participant," he said emphatically, "I heard that this plasma treatment agent is used in high-risk patients, so I'm happy to help save lives in any way I can.


■Health expert: "This plasma donation will be a great help to the treatment.

Professor Kwon Isun, vice president of the Seoul Health Association and a professor in the Department of Medical Management at Kwangdong Catholic University, said in an interview with Cheonji Ilbo: "The plasma donated by the healers of the (Shinchonji Church) was not only for the purpose of developing a cure, but also for the purpose of providing a solution to reveal the substance of the coronavirus, which causes numerous mutations. It can be seen as a clue.

Even if we only look at the development of therapeutic agents, it is difficult to develop a mechanism to kill the coronavirus itself at this stage.

In order to develop such a drug, which can be used by many people, we need a large amount of plasma," said Kwon.

The donation of plasma from those who have been cured of the new corona in Daegu Church will be a great help in the development of plasma remedies," he said. The image can be created," he clarified.

In this regard, I feel that this donation is a practice of love for neighbors.
