“As per the study, the normal population in Wuhan has a blood type distribution of 31 percent type A, 24 percent type B, 9 percent type AB, and 34 percent type O.

“Those with the virus, by comparison, were distributed as follows: 38 percent type A, 26 percent type B, 10 percent type AB, and 25 percent type O. Similar differences were observed in Shenzhen.

“As you can see, the percentages between the normal population and those with the virus have some differences - but it doesn’t mean that people with type O blood type are immune; and not everyone who gets the virus is going to be type A.”
