Infrequent blood donor here. Universal donor O-.
Just been offered money to donate my blood. Very unusual and very strange. Normally just a reminder and a cookie. Received notice asking me to donate along with a raffle for $10,000 from local blood bank.
Been recently receiving more reminders about blood donation.
I wouldn't trust anyone in the medical field right now to stick a needle in me. There may be a lot of others feeling the same way which could be why they are getting desperate for blood.
