Rav Moshe Kaufman is a tzaddik. Truly. His care for the klall and the p’rat is legendary. And without a doubt, sofek pikuach nefesh is docheh all as well.
From a purely mathematical and factual perspective, it is nearly impossible to know how long the virus stays in the body or for how long such a person is communicable. That is because the numbers are not in and the virus hasn’t been around long enough. Most people in America, for example, are only now getting past the two week incubation period, plus the five to eleven day long virus, plus the 72 hour to one week asymptomatic period.
Stay in, for sure. If one must go out, obviously only with mask and gloves, and always with proper social distancing. But nobody can know, yet, how long it lasts. Could be the average is 3 days like the CDC says. Could be a week like others have suggested. Could be 30 days like this person said. Or could be 40 or 50 days.
We do know that some people have developed antibodies which are being “harvested” from the plasma of recovered patients.
A second point I would raise is what is the source of the information this blood bank physician gave over?
But again Reb Moshe is a real tzadik, ben Torah, baal tzedakah, a maamin baShem, baToraso, and bChachamav.
