Hi, @seafire. First, thank you for your service to our country and for your continuing service of several years of donating blood so that others may live. Like you, as a sr with several chronic health issues, including chronic bronchitis, I have been self-quarantined for over 30 days. Blood donation was something I did regularly for a long time but stopped a yr. before the virus because of health issues.
I live in a much less populated area of TX. However, my close friend living in Queens fears leaving her condo because of health issues. I just want to salute your willingness and also your attempts to get more information from the NY Blood Center.
My friend is becoming increasingly alarmed about the huge delays between placing an online food delivery order and even making the list; when she does get the order placed, the wait time given has been over 30 days. She doesn't drive and her neighborhood grocers and mkts are closed. Are you experiencing something similar? Off topic I know but I am deeply concerned for you, her and all living in NYC and the other hotspots springing up in our country.
