A request to all. I just came across something constructive that could be done in the current situation. Possibly the only constructive thing possible for most people.

If you are anywhere on the East Coast, go and give blood. Emergency Rooms all over New England are likely to need it. The blood supply is going to be severely impacted by this I imagine.

Blood drives are going up all over the country. Here in San Antonio, there are already 3 hour waits to give blood. There was already a blood drive scheduled for tomorrow and will still happen, but only for as long as it takes to get the blood then they move on.

well, maybe donate in a week... I'm sure it'll still be in demand.

Again, the blood drive that was scheduled is still going to happen tomorrow, but it won't be an all-day thing. Unfortunately, I am illeligible as a donor; my medical history prevents it. More unfortunate, my blood type is O-. My mother's schedule for the drive was moved up and hour and a half so they could get everybody done and move to another location to get more; she's O+.
