A member asked:
I had the flu last weekend, and i had already signed up to donate blood tomorrow. would i still be able to?

Should be OK: The screening process asks specifically about how you are feeling day of donation, and the screener (/nurse) checks your temperature. The process is fairly efficient at looking for risks but allowing those who are ok to donate. You should be ok.
