Begging for blood donations.

Yet all elective surgery has been cancelled and social distancing has (I assume) drastically reduced the number of car accidents. So why so desperate for blood?

I know someone who works in health care who told me that the workload has dropped to 10% of what it was pre-covid. I doubt it’s that drastic across the board, but still that one anecdotal data point is very interesting.
