The two blood types are far more likely to catch coronavirus...

If you have a bloody type of O, the chances of contracting coronavirus are far less.

This comes from a new analysis that suggests that your blood type determines your chances of catching the deadly bug.

If you’re O, you’re less likely to get Covid-19, the study said, and your risk of serious complications like organ failure – and even death – is also reduced.

Scientists also say that people with blood types A and AB are the most susceptible.

The results come from two independent studies, one of which looked at 437,000 positive Covid-19 patients in a control group of 2.2 million others.

The lead author Dr. Torben Barington of Odense University Hospital said, “It is very important to consider the right control group as the prevalence of the blood type can vary significantly between different races and different countries.

“We have the advantage of a strong control group – Denmark is a small, ethnically homogeneous country with a public health system and a central registry for laboratory data. Our control is based on the population and gives our results a solid foundation. ”

The lead author Dr. Mypinder Sekhon of the University of British Columbia said, “The unique part of our study is our focus on blood type severity for Covid-19.

“We have observed this damage to the lungs and kidneys and will want to examine the effects of blood groups and Covid-19 on other vital organs in future studies.

“Of particular importance if we continue to overcome the pandemic we now have a wide range of survivors exiting the acute part of Covid-19, but we need to examine mechanisms by which we can risk those with longer-term effects.”
