Twenty states are asking to the Department of Health and Human Services to fully eliminate its ban on blood donations from gay men. CBSN's Tanya Rivero spoke to Kate Fry, the CEO of America's Blood Centers, and Charles Farruggio, a recovered COVID-19 patient who was unable to donate his antibody-rich plasma because of the ban, about the challenges facing the American blood supply during the coronavirus pandemic.
