England is 1/2 A and 1/2 O, Scotland and Ireland are majority 0. What was the death toll during the plague among the various blood types?

The people living behind Offa's Dyke have the highest concentration of 'O' type blood in the world.

If cold weather increases the risk of crampt conditions that spread the Black Death, then type O must therefore give more resistance.

An interesting read. Being a secretor or a non-secretor is just one of the name components of blood.

Will we get to a point where we can test a baby’s blood and determine how long he (she) will live and what they will die from?
