People with blood type A might be more vulnerable to the coronavirus, while those with type O blood could be more resistant, according to a new preliminary study from China. Researchers studying COVID-19 in its outbreak epicenter, Wuhan, and the city of Shenzhen found the proportion of Type-A patients both infected and killed by the disease to be “significantly” higher than those with the same blood type in the general public.

53% of Hispanics in the US are believed to have O Positive as their blood type, making them the largest ethnicity with this type of blood.

Caucasians are more likely to be A Positive than any other ethnic group.

Asians are more likely to be B Positive and AB Positive than any other ethnic group.

Not sure I buy this study -

You have to understand that Chinese science is very... “superstitious” about blood type and think it also determines your personality along with some other homeopathic health conditions/benefits.

While it’s possible this study could be true - I’d take it with a grain of salt.

About a week ago we were told that genetic differences play no part in susceptibility and discussing it was racist. The thought police have changed their minds.

The article did not mention the Rh factor, so I’m guessing
it doesn’t matter. My blood type is A negative
:-{

I'm thinking as negatives we're utterly immune.
