Currently, the blood supply has been affected adversely and pressure will continue to mount as the number of cases increase.


I myself donate blood fairly regularly at donor clinics in Toronto and will be donating sometime within the next week, possibly Saturday March 21, 2020.


There are a number of services that allow you to book an appointment for donation or even drop-in at your earliest convenience.


Here are some resources from around the world for those of you who'd like to make a difference. Chances are, your donation is saving lives. If your region is not listed here, then I suggest that you check with the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization or The Red Cross for the possibility of regional information about clinics in your area. Failing that, the web or a simple phone call is your next best bet.

Thank you to the people who created these resources.


Thank you to the medical professionals & those keeping us & the infrastructure safe around the world, including the Women and Men of the Armed Forces.


Thank you to the people that don't aggressively engage in attempts at verbally stalking or harassing others as a means to rile them up to a hateful or negative reaction.


Thank you to the people that don't reverse the definitions for love and hate or use colour symbolism for any kind of social abuse or harassment.


Consider the fact that for the last 8 years I've had 3 computers pretty much running 24/7 crunching numbers for science. During that time I've volunteered officially for Habitat For Humanity (on the suggestion of a friend) and been an instant volunteer on many occasions as well. Currently, my three computers are running around the clock crunching numbers to find solutions for the COVID-19 crisis for the Folding@Home project.


(Thanks to my childhood friend Scott Maple for sharing a lot of information used to build this page and for his posts on Twitter with regard to combatting the spread of COVID-19)
