 I feel frustration as well that I can't give blood only because Quebec
has overly tight blood donation rules.  (I've spent between one and six
months and  in the U.K. since 1980 which would allow to give blood anywhere
else in North America.)  I'm half tempted to go to Ontario on the weekend to
donate.  However, as I don't have a car, I think my money will be better
spent going directly and I've got the money in my bank account to make a
good donation.

Daniel,

I hate to tell you this, but the restrictions you are facing may now be
liberal.  In the US, they have restricted blood donations from anyone who
has spent more than 6 months in Western Europe.

I would tell you and all others who feel some sense of guilt because they
are relieved to be directly unscathed, do not.  Thank whatever higher power
you believe in that you and yours are safe, ask for those who have been
directly effected to be supported, and prepare for whatever may come -- even
if it is nothing.

Take care.

Matt
