sirineou Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Interesting article this morning, that I thought I should share Below is a synopsis of my takeaway , full article at: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/17/health/coronavirus-genes-blood-type-study/index.html " A team of European scientists say they have found two genetic variations that may show who is more likely to get very sick and die from coronavirus, and they say they have also found a link to blood type." "Our genetic data confirm that blood group O is associated with a risk of acquiring Covid-19 that was lower than that in non-O blood groups, whereas blood group A was associated with a higher risk than non-A blood groups, " "They found people with Type A blood had a 45% higher risk of becoming infected than people with other blood types, and people with Type O blood were just 65% as likely to become infected as people with other blood types. " "We detected a novel susceptibility locus at a chromosome 3p21.31 gene cluster and confirmed a potential involvement of the ABO blood-group system in Covid-19," they wrote. And two places in the genome were linked with the risk of developing respiratory failure. " " The researchers cannot say if blood type is a direct cause of the differences in susceptibility. It might be that the genetic changes that affect someone's risk also just happen to be linked with blood type," Edited June 18, 2020 by sirineou typo : 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more O- in Thailand than you think, than I thought too, if your desperate for a pint give us a call, it's mighty old and may come with a frothy head on it also, but hey, beggars cannot be chosers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodga Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 This the kind of research Ive been looking for as more is known, then we can see what the REAL cause of spread and death rates were rather than mass hysteria with face masks distancing and lockdown along with other issues such as why countries like Thailand have escaped the worst of it and Europe has had a lot more problems. Im an O blood type the most common type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the main bood type in Thailand then do they have the blue blood here or maybe green like Spock???? Ok found it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_distribution_by_country Edited June 20, 2020 by bodga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok found it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_distribution_by_country Research has shown that people that are born with the O Neg blood group are indeed the wisest of all humans on earth, this is because our ancient ancestors once bred with the Roman and Greek gods. Despite our blood type being the rarest on earth we never ever look down on the people who were born with common blood, I know they are not as intelligent as us, but that is not their fault that they were born with an inferiour blood type. It has been speculated that when our demise finally arrives we will join our ancestors the gods at mount Olympus and not go where it would be possible for our blood group to be contaminated by others with a not so pure blood group.????

mommysboy Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'd rather they just got on with finding an effective treatment. Thank goodness, one country at least appears to be doing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
