Re: Chinese Coronavirus

There are some strange things happening.

For some odd reason, the U.S. is experiencing only a 1.64 % fatalities. We have all been reading and hearing that the global rate is double that.

A 101 yr old had the virus but survived.

A normally perfectly healthy 17 yr old has died.

I don't understand any of this.

They have said that O type blood groups are less likely to die. Seems most dangerous for type A.

I did look for that when the research was out and it's not easy to find anything specific. It's quite interesting to study the history of blood groups I had always thought that O was the first blood group and the others evolved over time. But it appears there are two theories, one being that type O is the most evolved as it has the highest resistance to disease.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3595629/

Also quite interesting to see that type A is highly prevalent in chimpanzees whereas type B is equally high in gorillas!

Indications would show that type B is less successfuul at fighting this off than type O but more so than type A which is markedly more likely to result in fatalities.

Perhaps they should be doing more research into blood type vs medical efficacy.

I wish we had official news of this.
This is why you should only listen to official sources because misinformation at a time like this is very dangerous.

We are indeed.
Nice to know that you're a fellow blue-blooded member.
I think that all the royals are of blood group B.

I heard this recently too, Annie.
Only thing is, I have no idea what blood group I am.
How do you find out?

No, I can't possibly be a gorilla.

All my shirts have sleeves which are too long for my arms, so that confirms that I am not a knuckle-dragger.
