Just spoke with newsie friend at WABC local TV in NY. Casualties expected at 8000+/-. Of course, totally unconfirmed.

GO GIVE BLOOD NOW. IT CAN BE FROZEN, BROKEN DOWN INTO COMPONENTS, SENT TO NYC, ETC. BLOOD SUPPLIES CRITICALLY LOW ANYWAY.

WE NEED TO GET OFF OUT DUFFS, OFF THE NET AND DO SOMETING. GET YOUR NEIGHBORS, KIDS, ETC.

GO GIVE BLOOD NOW!

Thank you for having the decency and sense to post this message. Most of us are sitting here in D.C. and around the country feeling completely helpless. This is certainly one way for us to help out in even a small way. God bless all the victims and their families.

We are hearing reports via Fox News and so forth that NYC emergency personnel are urging people across the country to give blood over the next 24 - 48 hours. When flights resume (assuming emergency flights will get priority), blood can be flown in to help the overwhelmed trauma centers. Please consider giving blood if you are able to do so.

My wife works for the American Red Cross. Please call before walking in; they may simply not have enough staff available. They may direct you somewhere else, so please call before walking in.

I give plasma twice a week. Please, everyone, do what you can to help in any way that you can.
BUMP!

To find out whether you can donate blood, or to find the nearest donor center, call

1-800-GIVE-LIFE

(1-800-448-3543)

Or click on Give Blood.

I have a standing appointment to give platelets every four weeks, and my next scheduled donation is Saturday. If I can spend 100 minutes hooked up to a machine, any of you can spend 15 minutes on a table.

Note: The Red Cross website is going quite slow, no doubt due to the increased number of visits.
