The American Red Cross is sounding the alarm about a national blood shortage — a shortage that the organization says is its worst in over a decade.
According to CBS News, the shortage has prompted the organization to declare a national blood crisis for the first time in its history.
According to the organization, there's been a 10% decline in blood donations dating back to March 2020. Illness — both from the omicron variant and an active flu season — as well as weather-related closures have only compounded shortages in recent weeks.
