SNIPPET
The ABO group in 3694 normal people in Wuhan showed a distribution of 32.16%,
24.90%, 9.10% and 33.84% for A, B, AB and O, respectively, versus the distribution
of 37.75%, 26.42%, 10.03% and 25.80% for A, B, AB and O, respectively, in 1,775
COVID-19 patients from Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital. The proportion of blood group A
and O in COVID-19 patients were significantly higher and lower, respectively, than
that in normal people (both P < 0.001). Similar ABO distribution pattern was
observed in 398 patients from another two hospitals in Wuhan and Shenzhen.
Meta-analyses on the pooled data showed that blood group A had a significantly
higher risk for COVID-19 (odds ratio-OR, 1.20; 95% confidence interval-CI
1.02~1.43, P = 0.02) compared with non-A blood groups, whereas blood group O had
a significantly lower risk for the infectious disease (OR, 0.67; 95% CI 0.60~0.75, P <
0.001) compared with non-O blood groups. In addition, the influence of age and
gender on the ABO blood group distribution in patients with COVID-19 from two
Wuhan hospitals (1,888 patients) were analyzed and found that age and gender do not
have much effect on the distribution.
CONCLUSION
People with blood group A have a significantly higher risk for acquiring COVID-19
compared with non-A blood groups, whereas blood group O has a significantly lower
risk for the infection compared with non-O blood groups.

Hi John, indeed not. Sorry about the lack of a link. Here it is, and I hope it works.

Be interested in what you think.

Larry, there appeared to be no link and/or attachment to your post - so we can't look at this intriguing material.
If it were true, it certainly wouldn't be the first time that blood group had influenced susceptibility to a disease.
Kind Regards,
John

Hi all,
This is from some researchers in China. I will not comment and leave that to others.
Happy reading, if that is possible,
