Well at least Horace can donate blood to George as he nears respiratory failure.

A lead SNP was also identified on chromosome 9 at the ABO blood group locus, and further analysis showed that A-positive participants were at a 45% increased for respiratory failure, while individuals with blood group O were at a 35% decreased risk for respiratory failure.

They can have my blood, I don't mind. Just not all of it all at once or anything.
