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 …

The ethical concern about the specter of someone's health failing because they donated too much and died is a factor, sure, but not the main one When they moved to end paid donation it was after WWII had already normalized volunteer donation as the main source of blood

Look, I was a volunteer for the Red Cross, and it was a very long time ago (in high school) but I still learned a lot of shit about trying to destigmatize blood banking based on a lot of the lurid bullshit images people have of it so this conversation really rubs me the wrong way
