We get a cup of tea and a biscuit when we donate blood.

Of course we should.
Where did all the 10s of $billions of Covid money go?

Besides, I don't have to deal with the bums selling their plasma for beer money. They do give me a t-shirt every time I donate and they usually give me a $20 Uber card or something of that nature.

I've always been of the mind that we need to protect our vulnerable and everybody else live with the level of caution that you want. If you want to lock yourself home or wear a mask all the time, that's your call. We won't ever get past this fiasco if we all cower in our homes and wait for the government to tell us how to live our lives.

I have eaten out almost daily and stayed in dozens of hotels. I only wear a mask in church, hospitals, or when work makes me. If store owners demand I wear one I take my business elsewhere and try to shop local business as much as possible.
I've had it nice here. Texas was only locked down for 6 weeks and the mask mandates weren't enforceable because it was a governor's order and not a law. I still respect private property rights and business can demand what they want.
I don't think we have a Covid anti-body test available in Australia.
A hospital I asked didn't have anything last November.
Just talking about blood makes me want to faint.

My dad gets dizzy when he sees much blood. He won't watch gory movies. He seemed to deal with it well in real life though when he was working. He has patched up his work crew or got them to a hospital after cutting themselves with saws and shooting themselves with nail guns.Bobby wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 1:50 pmTexan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:04 pmI donate plasma at a local blood bank.

Where did the money go? It was spent on corporate welfare.Bobby wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 1:49 pmOf course we should.

Cant be tracked or traced, however, due to a lack of an accounting structure.
