Apparently They Aren’t Testing Blood Donations | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78580158 United States 03/11/2020 02:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.redcrossblood.org (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78580158 [link to www.redcrossblood.org (secure)] Here is some links for all the fruitcakes out there that have no clue about this subject. And OBVIOUSLY if someone comes in and completes the questionnaire and isn't qualified based upon them answering that they have been out of the Country and possibly has the coronavirus then they would be likely disqualified even though there is nothing that says it can be passed in a blood transfusion. Some people on here seriously need common sense. Fast. Its really frightening....Not even kidding anymore. But are they checking for Covid-19? Doesn’t say so at your links. Here's another link.... [link to www.redcross.org (secure)] I don't know why you think everyone is lying about this and you know things you don't know....maybe a mistrust issue in your past? I don't know, but come on here - you aren't stupid you have to realize that respiratory virus' can't be transferred through blood. That's not what a respiratory virus is. Coronavirus is a RESPIRATORY virus - its not like aids or something, or a sexual disease. Why else do you think people are quarantining themselves and told to wash hands and disinfect like crazy? Do you really believe that all the ones who got the virus touched someone else's blood? Really? |

[link to www.fda.gov (secure)] You read at that link everything I just told you - i don't know why you are still confused. Its not different - there are precautions, hence the questionnaire and the 28 day leeway for donations, - its all online at the links you didn't read. There are precautions for giving blood when you have the flu or a fever as well, and they don't let you donate until you are well, but that's common sense. Have you ever given blood? You fill out a very lengthy questionnaire and they do tests on you before you donate to make sure you are healthy enough to donate - then afterwards they test the blood for everything at that link I showed you because those are all things you can get through your blood. If a person has those their blood will NOT be used and the donor will be contacted about the positive test results. I understand everyone is freaking out right now but some things are just common sense - if something is respiratory then it can't be passed through blood. That's why when they test blood they don't test for the common cold. Colds can't be passed through blood. Ever. |

We live in, a scientific and medical guessing game of understanding with much of the world around us. If, this thing really has HIV woven into it, and a less then a fluid exchange delivery mechanism built in like Corona and now transmission possibly air.

Did a little googling and so far all I can find is that they’re turning donors away that look sick. No testing. Quoting: Rev Woo-Woo [link to www.carterbloodcare.org] they don't test people for corona virus when they donate blood. They only test for HIV / Hep C before you give blood. |

According to the FDA, they don’t know if it’s transmissible via blood and yet there is only basically the same screening process the airports have been using which misses all the non symptomatic carriers. “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

And you do realize that this virus has DNA of HIV/AIDS, don’t you? Which IS transmitted through blood? And you do also realize it doesn’t just attack the lungs it also attacks the Central Nervous System and Brain!? They don’t know enough about the mechanisms of this virus to say it can’t be transmitted through blood. It’s too new and how would they even know ? Do you think they’ve been keeping decent records on this?! Are you trusting the CDC?! As in : Can’t Detect Coronavirus?? |

And didn’t he have a certain blood type that allowed him to do that successfully? Last Edited by Vigorous Daily Handjob on 03/11/2020 07:22 AM |
