The Red Cross claims that 1 pint saves “up to 3 lives”. I’m not sure what to make of that, given that it’s an upper bound and presented by a non-partial source.
I presume it means that the first pint of blood donated, if allocated with efficient triage, could save three lives. At the margin I assume the figure is a small fraction of a life per pint donate.

Thanks to both of you. Yes, what I’m curious about is essentially the figure at the margin,
