I’d weigh that against people maybe being afraid to donate blood because of fear of the virus. I haven’t donated in a while, and won’t for a little while longer as I’m on antibiotics for an ear infection (yes, an ear infection, not the Chinese Virus). don’t want to mix medicine into the equation.
That and I’m on something of a mandatory self-quarantine from the employer, with a very small number of co-workers still allowed to be physically at work (we can’t work at home, as our systems are on a very isolated network).
Anyway, the self-quarantine and fear is probably keeping a LOT of people from donating, and that means that supplies are possibly dwindling.

I thought NYC Emergency rooms and hospitals were overrun with Coronavirus patients?
You can hear Governor Cuomo on TV talking about being in short supply as the waiting room sits near empty.

NYC wants us to believe that #coronavirus has overwhelmed their health care system...
...not the fact that 16 hospitals in NYC have closed since 2003 due to the state cutting Medicaid reimbursements.
Here is an article from 2017 explaining the crisis:

Hospital Closures and Medicaid Shifts Took Toll on NYC’s Health
All excellent points. ThankQ!
I’ve had ear infection. Fixed instantly by chiropractor.
I’ve also had acute tonsillitis, my throat closing up. $1300 emergency room visit did jack squat, check in, steroid shot. Chiro mentioned lymphatic drainage massage. For $60 in South Beach had it done for upper body — swelling,etc gone in 2 hours.
