US experiences blood shortage crisis with under 1-day supply of O-positive blood

According to the American Red Cross, the US is currently dealing with a blood supply crisis, holding less than a single day's worth of O-positive blood nationwide. This is the most frequently transfused blood type in the country. The organization noted that blood donations have fallen to their lowest summer levels in four years, which could lead to delays in surgeries and emergency trauma care. A comparable shortage was experienced by the US in 2022.
