Right now the blood supply is very fragile and just one serious trauma could wipe-out the supply in any one type. Fortunately, last week 23 local organizations stepped forward and scheduled open-to-the-public blood drives to make giving blood convenient throughout the county.
More Quotes from Lynn Stedd:
There is now no back-up to the supply that the hospitals have on hand. We have issued virtually all of the blood on our shelves, and urge healthy individuals to donate blood now.Lynn Stedd
We can't emphasize enough how dangerous this shortage has become. We are fortunate that there weren't more serious injuries in the sign collapse on Interstate 805 yesterday, and that blood was not needed.
Lynn Stedd
Though many donors have responded to this emergency, the amount of blood needed to rebuild the supply far outweighs donations.
