The media is in overdrive due to the Corona covid-19 Pandemic. There is lots of information on the news and on line
A recent study in China had interesting findings.
People with blood type A may be more vulnerable to infection by COVID-19 while those with type O seem more resistant, according to a preliminary study of patients in China who contracted the disease known as Covid-19.Medical researchers in China took blood group patterns of more than 2,000 patients infected with the virus in Wuhan and Shenzhen and compared them to local healthy populations. They found that blood type A patients showed a higher rate of infection and they tended to develop more severe symptoms
There is a lot of information on blood types and disease Most native Americans belong to group O. It is believed that this is due to a syphilis epidemic and that the O type were better at fighting off the disease. Group A and B make people more resistant to cholera, while AB confers the most resistance. O offers virtually no immunity against cholera
SO conducting a study on the new corona virus and blood type is not far fetched. I think this is a valuable study. More studies on viruses and blood type need to be done.
Until tomorrow…
