Blood donations have gradually decreased and now Chicago area hospitals may have to ration supplies, if the numbers don't pick up."In May things started to slow down and in August blood dropped 25% which is about 30,000 units," said Squier."It's critical for people to come out and donate," said Squier.Young people, first time donors, and everyone is needed to donate says Squier.
Squier says blood cannot be stockpiled because it lasts 42 days so it is important for people to continuously come out and donate., by downloading the Red Cross app, or calling 1-800-red cross.
