  1. Me? I'm amazing.

    Today I've just received my 100 donations badge and my 100 donations medal from NHS Blood and Transplant.

    I am, shall we say, rather chuffed!

  2. In the mid 1980’s I organised #BloodDonors at my employers in Sydney.

    The hospital would send a bus for us & feed us after donating.

    After the 1st year of employees giving blood, my employer called me into his office & told me he wanted the donations STOPPED.

    I was the ETU union rep at the time & I ignored him.

    After awhile the business received a certificate thanking it for the employee donations.

    The boss had it framed, called the local rag & posed for a photo with the cert. #ArseHat

  3. @Brad A concern about letting infected people donate blood (not to mention organs) has been at the back of my mind for a while now.

    Then there's that estimate about the majority of people (in the US) getting Long Covid within 3-4 years...

    :blobcat_thisisfine:

    I suspect that many Covid Cautious people have stopped donating blood (I did), due to the lack of masking, which certainly doesn't improve things.
