That is a great work!

I think we also heard, a few weeks ago, that O+ ppl were less susceptible, IIRC.
anyone want to theorize why A blood type might be more susceptible and O more resistant?

I would be cautious of any asset tied to the dollar due to the extraordinary printing of them, now. But that’s just me. :)
Massive number of tests compared to many other states. 4th highest by my count and a positive to test ratio of 2.5%. I think our state is doing well!
Thanks for the warning, which include me!
