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 …

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

The primary reason they still had paid donors until the 70s was to *stabilize* the blood supply, so if the supply was running low they could have people "on call" who they knew would come in and donate because it was like a part time job

This is a great thread. I worked at a blood bank for three years and the misinformation still out there is absolutely maddening.
