Could Your ABO Blood Group Save You From CoVid19?

If you’re one of the 44% with type O blood, you are significantly less likely to become seriously infected with coronavirus. If you have type A blood, you are much more likely to contract it.
Chinese investigators studied infected persons in Wuhan and in Shenzhen. Type O persons had a 33% lower infection risk. Type A persons had a 21% higher infection risk. The AB group fared a bit worse than the A group, but the B group had no greater risk or benefit.
You can’t change your blood group, but you can avoid infection. Those with A or AB groups should be even more obsessive about avoiding exposures.
