      The virus doesn't live in your blood, it lives in your respiratory system, it isn't transmitted by blood They neither have this test at the blood bank nor need it So first of all this is false Second of all if it were true it would be a reprehensible thing to do https://twitter.com/vL0k0/status/1237117540297572354 …

      "There are no donor screening tests available for this virus. All donors are screened." https://www.bloodcenter.org/donate/donor/covid19-response/ … Two things though 1) Blood is needed from donors who aren't a risk (no travel, etc) 2) More reprehensible than donating for cash when you have neither $ nor insurance?

      The reprehensible thing is donating suspect blood solely for the purpose of getting it screened (even if that were a thing, which it is not for coronavirus).

      So you feel that donating blood representing a means to try to survive, whether for testing for [other] blood borne pathogens or compensation is reprehensible? Obviously everyone you care for is comfortably well off and well insured.

      Man, you just go right in there for the bad faith arguments, don’t you? I never said anything about compensation, and I don’t have a problem with that. What I DO have a problem with is giving blood one thinks may cause grievous harm to the recipient if used solely for the test.

      It’s like tossing someone a possibly live grenade to see if it explodes. Beyond that, the screening tests aren’t even super reliable; blood with HIV and hepatitis still make it through. Calling this out as classism is pretty off-base.

      If you have insurance and reasonable access to testing what sense does it possibly make to use an unreliable, inapplicable and additionally risky process? That leaves the foolish and the situation-ally stuck as the target for the commentary...

      In this particular case, being diagnosed with COVID-19 at this point does not really make much of a difference to your personal chance of survival, because there is no specific treatment for COVID-19, so it's a totally moot point

      The treatment for COVID-19 is to go to the hospital if you actually get pneumonia Most people, especially young people, won't The idea that young people have a desperate need for testing to protect their own lives is false

      *As a community* we need testing to control the *spread* of the disease and protect people from getting infected As an individual, if you seriously have reason to think you may be infected, and you can't get tested, the right thing to do is assume you are and self-quarantine
