Good to hear. Hopefully tests can continue being given to people in high risk scenarios because I know some tested negative a few times before testing positive, like on the Cruise ship in Japan and some cases I remember reading about in Asian countries.

We are all statistically more likely than not to be infected, but we all hope to avoid complications, and certainly getting it when past surge capacity to handle us.

I did read a preliminary study that suggested people with Type A blood are more susceptible to worse outcomes from Covid-19 than those with Type O blood. The conclusion was based on samples of 1,8000 patients, so the researchers suggested to check blood type and prioritize type A and AB blood types over O types if rationing care.

Did the study have any comments on Type B patients and their vulnerabilities?  I'm A+, so I'm already resigned, but Mrs. Mick is B+.  So I'm curious.
