Kirk here suggesting that those who are able consider donating blood. The Japanese-language news report I’m appending to this post says that August and February are normally slow months for blood donation and that the most recent wave of infections we are experiencing is causing an additional reduction in donations. The image has some suggestions about where to donate in Kumamoto City but I’m sure that hospitals in other parts of the prefecture must be accepting donations too. If you need help finding an appropriate place to donate, let me know.
