Anesthesiologist who used to work in town and has since moved back to South Louisiana, has two of his college-aged sons hospitalised with COVID. They transferred one of them this weekend for ECMO treatment.
Sorry that this wretched disease has hit your friend's sons.

+1. It's terrible they're so young, too.

Not a friend. We worked at different hospitals and as the old saying goes "I don't know him, but I know of him". I heard about his boys from a retired surgeon I know.

Thanks ... that web page ways the Red Cross started doing antibody testing on June 15; my last donation was made just a few days before that, so that explains why no one said anything about antibody testing when I donated.

I wish I knew what my blood type is.

I know 2 blood type O’s who were very healthy people and got whacked pretty well- no hospital though. Seems like the blood type is a factor but not the big one.

Donate, they will test for covid and give you results, including your type.

Recently made another blood donation through the Red Cross. Indeed they sent me my COVID-19 antibody test results -- negative.

How are the two college boys doing? I'm hoping they made it, and that they aren't having long term problems from the virus.

That's the worst nightmare for a parent. So sad to hear this.
