Donating blood

Oxford lockdown sound recorded by Giulia Biasibetti.

"Another ordinary Tuesday afternoon in Oxford's blood donor centre. It's a hospital. Nurses wear surgical face masks every day while carrying out their duties. 

"However, time felt suspended. As donors lined up for their donation, it felt as if the simple - regular for some - act of giving blood was charged with a new meaning."
