Today, while driving in my car i heard an advert on the radio for the urgent need for Blood Donors during the cold weather.
So, when i got back to the studio i tried to find some data on issue. To my surprise i couldn't find anything. This to me either means two things... Its not a huge issue, or nobody has chosen to show the data anywhere.
On the give blood website, you are however shown a pathetic graph, apparently showing the blood supply levels.
Stock Levels on December 3rd.
This is all the information supplied with the graph.
From this graph i understand that we have a lot of O+ and A+, and that we have little B- and AB-. However i don't understand if these levels are sufficient. Also, what do the number refer too?
What blood donors need to know is, how many more people are needed to fulfil this months blood donations quota, and can I be one of them.
So i propose this as a replacement...
In this graph, you are able to understand how many appointments are needed this month. If you know your blood type or not, you are able to realise the need, and sign up for an appointment.
This would be the monthly graph:

Now I will try and do the same graph, using photography.
