Study Participants
A total of 29 eligible subjects will be enrolled to receive high titer anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma. Participants will be compared to a historical control group via retrospective chart review. High-Titer Anti-SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19) Convalescent Plasma: Pathogen reduced SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma (1-2 units; \~200 mL each for a total of 200-400mls) given preferably in one day, but allowable to be given over 2 days if clinical circumstances delay infusions in 1 day), with titer to be determined after the unit has been infused.
