earlier this month, VITALANT (formerly central blood bank) had announced that it would test ALL blood donations for covid-19 antibodies until 8/31. it has just extended testing of all blood donations indefinitely, with the flimsy excuse that plasma from people who test positive is needed to combat the "deadly epidemic." consequently i've cancelled my appt to donate, and written them to let them know that i will NOT donate any blood until they cease testing for covid-19.
