In a China Covid-19 study blood type O is more resistant than type A to infection. Great I'm A positive!!!!!!
Good to hear since I am O+. My naturopath keeps telling me this is the meat eating type but I looked it up and the blood type and diet is a myth. Lets see if this is too.
The study only compared A and O. weird that they left out B.
Btw interesting article. It looks like Chine is maybe 50% type O but the US is closer to 80% [www2.palomar.edu]
My doctor told me about possible use of this medicine to cure Covid-19.
I am A+ too.
Oh great watch there be another incidence of hoarding this drug when the word gets out.
@JackPedigo This is among a group of drugs that the CDC has long deemed most necessary for world health and for life-saving, so I think it may be in super production soon if not already.
I hope Trump reverses his defunding of the CDC, so that whatever drug needs to be made in a hurry gets manufactured ... though I do not know if that is how pandemic drugs are funded (through the CDC, that is). I read somewhere else, that a president can order Pharma companies to manufacture pandemic drugs, and put manufacture of other drugs in use on the back burner.
@AnonySchmoose This incident has clearly shown the president has too much power. He is a far cry from a benevolent dictator and now his 'executive power' has put American lives at stake.
I am O+, however I lived in Germany in the early 80's so could be a carrier of Kreutzfeldt Jacobs disease (mad cow). The Red Cross will not allow me to give blood in the US. However it is really cool that I may have resistance to infection and Covid-19.
I thought i read once that type O was more resistant to the plague too, and thats how it became so prevalent in some areas
I gave blood twice while in the military. It was supposedly 'voluntary' but if one did not give one had lots of extra details. After the 2nd time my allergy to dairy got serious. Extra duty or not I will not give again.
Hmmm, so I'm type AB Positive, wonder if I'm half screwed???
