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!

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

@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...

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.
