interesting
type o blood is supposedly better to handle covid

also usually type o have 25% lower von Willebrand factor that other blood types. that factor affects blood clotting, harder for blood to clot with lower factor.

aspirin thins blood also making clotting more difficult.

it would be interesting if those who had covid were tested for von Willibrand factor and compare that to seriousness of covid and outcome.
