of a study that collected data on the ABO blood types of 2,173 patients with lab-verified cases of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease from two hospitals in Wuhan and one in Shenzhen. The researchers compared the distribution of blood types in the infected patients to the distribution of blood types of uninfected people from Wuhan City and Shenzhen City.

Tara Moriarty, an expert in infectious diseases and immunopathology with the University of Toronto, told us by email that the study provides"an interesting observation that may have an impact on how we identify those most at risk of disease, but until it has been fully peer-reviewed and confirmed/disconfirmed by additional studies, we cannot yet say if blood type affects susceptibility to COVID-19 infection.

Goodness, if that's proven as true, I feel EXTRA lucky with my A type blood not having gotten it yet.

Probably ought to update this one, since it's from summer 2020

Anecdotal of course, but I’m O- and just about the only person I know who has never had Covid (at least not to my knowledge).

Why didn't they include Type B+?

“study from China” = junk, used by CCP for proposing.
