MIRAMAR, Fla. – Julio Bracho is a marathon runner. The 77-year-old father remains hospitalized after he was diagnosed with COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus. His daughter Jessica Bracho said he has been there for a month. She is hoping plasma from a recovered COVID-19 patient can provide him with an immune system boost, so he can survive. Jessica Bracho said there are many more patients like his father who need plasma, so they are asking everyone who can to donate their plasma.
