Why People Should Donate Blood At Least Once A Year - A Placard I Created For Some Kind of Job

According to ‘Domradio’ Mr. Meurer, a Roman-Catholic priest from Cologne (North Rhine Palatinate/ Germany) said in an interview that donating blood or stem cells or doing something important for very ill people was essential if you wanted to go to heaven.

“GEA” says that in Tübingen (Baden-Wuerttemberg/ Germany) someone was injured so gravely, he required donor-blood. He was simply dealing with some cheaply-produced firework from China – probably even made by children.

News: On January 12th between half past 2 PM and half past 7 PM you may donate blood at the high school Graf Eberhart Gymnasium in Bad Urach (Baden-Wuerttemberg/ Germany) as a placard in front of our city hall announced today.

Nothing personal, but I would have said “needles”.
I didn’t see needles in the list.
None of them said needles!
hahahahaha
Blood mobile blood drives give people an excuse to miss a half day of work. It helps to get people to donate, and the company can deduct associated losses (and gain the free publicity) from their taxes as charitable contributions. Most companies give at least a couple of hours off to donators.
Private groups also organize “blood drives” where they’ll have a Blood Mobile come to them and they will provide encouragements for people to show up. Usually food.
In case you don’t have them there, a “Blood Mobile” is a vehicle about the size of a large delivery van that goes to large businesses etc and draws blood where the people are.
They set up in the parking lots with awnings and chairs etc.

The German magazine “bleib gesund”says that even though in polls 94% of all Germans say they know about the important /literally vital use of donor blood 96% of them admitted to not wanting to donate blood. Some said they felt too young despite being old enough according to German law, some said they were too old despite this not being true according to German law, some even said they simply “didn’t have enough time for the numb feeling after a blood-donation due to their job or their children”. Some among them even voiced worries that due to the heat in July and August this numbness could even be more intense than usual. Some honest Germans also admitted they were simply too lazy for going to a place to donate to go through this whole procedure that could last up to an entire hour.
However especially now in summer blood-donation is important as all these motorbike accidents happening usually in summer are more likely to result in someone requiring donor-blood than car accidents. Also many complicated surgeries take place in summer rather than any other season.
In addition to that you can’t just donate any blood to any person, but at least the Kell factor, rhesus factor and blood group of donor and donation-receiver need to be identical. Alas a synthetic product that could fit these criteria hasn’t been discovered yet. Until this day there are only transitional solutions like the saline solution – that in the long run can’t really replace blood – in case suitable donor-blood can’t be found.
