Red Cross Warns of Blood Supply Crisis Amid Pandemic
----------------------------------------------------

The Red Cross has declared a national blood crisis as the U.S. sees its
worst blood shortage in over a decade. Blood donations have decreased
10% since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. The organization
urged those who can to donate blood and platelets, as the Red Cross
warned it has "less than a one-day supply of critical blood types."
