Instapundit is reporting concerns about blood collection and distribution problems in the US. It seems the American Red Cross was overwhelmed by 9/11 and has yet to recover. They are being forced to use European blood in New York due to a shortage.
This is rather amusing since my father and I are no longer able to give blood. We both traveled to the UK during the mad cow disease epidemic. This resulted in a permanent ban on giving blood forever. This paranoia has lead to the Red Cross losing two donors who gave every chance they get. This unreasonable decision probably cuts quite a few people out of the donor pool. After all, the UK is fairly popular destination.
