How the national blood shortage is affecting Mississippi
SUMMARY: The American Red Cross has announced a shortage of blood supply in the US, which could potentially affect Mississippi.

He emphasizes the importance of ongoing blood donations, as it only takes one incident to deplete the supply. Swafford addresses the misconception that others will donate enough to maintain the supply and encourages healthy individuals to donate. He also expresses optimism about the use of artificial intelligence in recruiting and retaining blood donors. Mississippi Blood Services assures potential donors that blood donation is safe.
