#1 Has ZimBoob tried growing turnips yet to make up for the blood shortage?

#2 I'm amazed they even have a blood bank.

I really can't see ZimBob's gubmint buddies and ~~special friends~~ cronies donating blood to a bank for use by just anyone, and the normal people appear to be too malnourished to have any blood to spare.

Iz a puzzlement....

#4 I think the idea of a blood bank is a good one, but in areas where AIDS is rampant I'd be sure to solicit blood elsewhere, say a whole different continent.
