Comics artist Robson Rocha is hoping for fans to donate blood after seeing up close how strapped hospitals are for blood and other resources as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rocha is currently at Eduardo de Menezes Hospital, being treated for COVID-19 himself, and Brazilian artist Fabi Marques took to social media to ask for blood donations. He also provided a link where local supporters can sign up to donate. It seems from context that Rocha himself is in need of blood, and not just advocating for the needs of the hospital generally, which begs the question: what is Rocha’s prognosis?

Pessoal de BH, o Robson é desenhista da DC e um querido amigo, ele está tentando sobreviver ao covid e precisa de doação de sangue.
