Well, the 9 people who tested pos with the Chacao Bears tested negative the next day so the accuracy of the tests is more than doubtful.

A universe of sample this small compared to the total population throws the credibility of the testing WAAAAAAY off.
At this point, I’d say 50% accuracy.
Maybe you do...maybe you don’t.

Plasma transfusions with antibodies was the best cure for the 1918 flu - and blood type is not a factor. If they haven’t got it right by now they should clean house and start over.
