    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.

      Hopefully Horace has enough blood for you too.

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

        Education is extremely important.

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

                    I really should donate more. Back when I exercised every day my excuse was that it would keep me from doing that for a couple days. But now I don't have any excuse.

                        Blood type now deemed not a factor says two studies, Mass Gen and Columbia Presbyterian.

                        Article in NYT.

                        That took a long time given the number of cases. Doesn’t give me a warm feeling about reliability of everything we read.
